HELP ME ROGEAN!!

[Bardalicious]

It's been four months since I put in a petition for assistance with account management for two of my main accounts here at P99 and R99. I pleaded with the GM's and Rogean to help me change passwords on two accounts that I didn't have eqemu info for anymore.

About a month ago, the person that had eqemu access was able to reset the passwords on those two accounts because of the changes to the account management system, being able to SMS message to reset account passwords. Previously, there was no way for eqemu account owners to touch loginserver accounts without knowing the passwords. Not any more!

That person, Pan on the forums, aka Cloki in-game and guild leader of OMNI on Project 1999, took over both accounts and started playing one of them without thinking twice about whom they belonged to. Since then, he's offered to let me have my bard back, but has demanded compensation for his time put into my cleric on Project 1999.

I'm fine with that and think it's fair to offer the guy some plat for what he's put into my toon. But now this all comes down to Rogean answering his PMs and helping with the petition thread.

Normally I wouldn't bring something like this to the forums, and many of you may think it detrimental to my cause, but put yourself into my place for a second: you played on these two accounts since the server opened (roughly 5 years) and because of the introduction of the SMS password reset system, those two accounts which were previously secure, are now taken from you and someone else is actively playing YOUR characters while your cries for help remain unanswered.

TLDR - HELP ME ROGEAN!!!

Isn't there a post somewhere about not giving out your account info to people?

He had eqemu account access because I sold a different login server account attached to it for plat a year or so ago. He did not have login server account info for the other two accounts, which is quite different.

It may seem illogical to play login server accounts attached to an eqemu account you don't own any more, but up until this SMS system was introduced, those accounts were entirely safe because they couldn't be deleted nor have their passwords changed without already knowing the passwords.

How did he gain access to the 2 accounts in question?

Rogean introduced some new account management services here at p99, which seems silly in it of itself being that eqemu and p99 are supposed to be separate entities.

You can attach login server accounts to your forum account, you can link eqemu accounts, and more importantly, you can attach your cell phone to your eqemu account through project1999, which allows you to reset ALL login server accounts attached to an eqemu account without knowing the passwords apparently.

I've had a petition in with mine for a long time now too, you're basically F*cked from my understanding... but was kinda dumb to sell an emu that has accounts you play on, regardless of the fact there was no SMS back then.

The only side effect at the time of the sale was that I couldn't change my passwords to the accounts, which I was fine with. Other than that, the accounts were for all intents and purposes "safe". It'd be pretty sad to punish someone by taking away two accounts they've worked on for five years because of a sudden change in account management imo...

Also, as per Rogean himself:

So there is that...

[Glenzig]

Oh ok. So because he had access to the account you sold him, he gained access to the other 2 accounts and locked you out? Bummer. Don't know if you'll get any CSR help on that though. All that stuff is at your own risk if I recall correctly. Sorry dude.

Is this skelly?
