Having seen threads about people's accounts getting hacked and their characters deleted, i thought of creating a thread on adding more layers of security since I haven't found any thread regarding it... I don't know what layers of security the dev team has in place, so I'm just suggesting more ideas based on what I currently see available to me on the character page...
1) TRANSACTION HISTORYvisitors can't see pics , please
register or
login- The 1st column should have the date and time of the transaction.
- The 2nd column should have the info on what items were involved on the transaction, whether heirloomed or non-heirloomed.
- The 3rd column should have the info on what type of transaction occured like: marketplace purchase/sell, non-marketplace purchase/sell
- The 4th column should have the info on the amount of purchase(n/a if there was no gold involved on marketplace).
- And the 5th column should have the info of the name of the person involved in a marketplace transaction(n/a if non-marketplace purchase). The name of the person who you traded w/ also changes automatically whenever they do a name change. Just like what you guys are seeing on steam's transaction history page, I wish that a transaction history on the our character page to be something similar like the things I mentioned above.. I also wish that this transaction history has no delete option for anyone to see for future personal reference. If its not possible, then a history of 90 days shown on the list would be a great option for those who would be away from the game for more than a week..
If your wondering why there should be info on non-marketplace transactions, its because I thought that a smart hacker would know that the devs can trace the heirloom trades.. So if he wants to do damage instead of risking cd-key banned, he can buy items from the gamestore directly(not the marketplace) to dry out his target's gold reserve & sell those heirloomed items directly on the game store and the devs will(likely) be wondering why there is no trace on where the heirloomed items go...
2) Ability to change passwords/delete characters I noticed that any of your characters has the power to change the password for all of your characters & I find this to be a huge security risk.. Get one of that characters hacked and your pretty much screwed up in the ass... I've heard from IRC and reading in the forums(whether its true or just a myth) that hackers can obtain your cdkey if your a steam user & they use that key to create an alt in order to gain access to your main...
And based from this thread
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,9488.0.html, a hacker not only can steal your items but he can also
DELETE your main character or any of your characters if his/her intentions is to screw you around.. I'm sure you guys don't want your time in this game thrown down the drain when your characters gets deleted by some douchebag, making you to likely quit playing this mod...So my proposal to this is:
- Only the main character should have the access to set a universal password to all your characters.
- You should only be allowed to change your main to once per day.
- There should be a security question whenever you try to change the password of your main character.
- You should be prompted to answer your security question whenever you try to delete any of your characters. It should be optional to your alts, but should be a requirement for your main.I do hope the devs consider adding security features like this in the near future before this hacking becomes too annoying for everyone...
