Probably not related, but the client uses absurdly weak encryption when sending credentials to the login server (specifically, plain old DES with a static IV and key of ALL ZEROES).

If anyone is in a position to monitor your network traffic when you log in, they could have your account name and password within milliseconds. Not that there's p99-targetting spyware out there (why bother) but... security on EQ is really not worth getting worked up about.

To stop meltdown, make a new account for each character.... and if one gets compromised you haven't lost "everything".

Aside from whatever issue are betwixt GG and staff, is effing with the players really helping his crusade?

Or am I giving his maturity too much credit?

I thought it was an unwritten rule of the intranets you never fuck with people and RL. Serious. Whoever did that makes Sam Deathwalker look like a better citizen.

When you roll a new character. Current characters are where they are.

TAKProject lets you move characters between accounts. Consider TAKProject!

Some of the "stories" I heard over the years playing Eve Online:

- During a fan fest presentation, a very drunk Mittani - leader of Goonswarm who preached their purpose was to ruin your game, asked his listeners to push a ~broken~ person towards suicide. He later apologized for the event and was removed from leader of the CSM (a group of elected players that directly interact with CCP developers).

- Corporations build such hatred towards other corporations that horror stories of people getting their cable and telephone lines cut just to curtail players logging into the game.

- Both CCP and players have had DOS attacks that crashed the game or servers.

And for the most part, this is considered "normal".
