Loginserver Changes
EQEmulator has completed a move to a new Loginserver system. In addition to many new features, our security has been vastly improved. The old system that was in place had been built over a decade ago with encryption methods that have since become insecure. Due to this system overhaul we recommend all players change their loginserver passwords. We may enforce a password change at some point so I suggest everyone perform this as soon as possible to prevent any delays in account access. If you plan to use the SMS System detailed below to recover access, it could take a week to process and should be done immediately.
The new system is accessible directly from the Project 1999 website. New players are no longer required to create an EQEmulator forum account. Instead, you can create a forum account on Project 1999, and manage your loginserver accounts from there. Existing players can link their EQEmulator Forum Account to their Project 1999 Accounts, and then also manage their loginserver accounts from here. The SMS System has been added, which will allow players to attach an SMS Number to their loginserver accounts. This can be used to recover loginserver passwords in any situation where they are not accessible. I realize that there are some players who have lost access to their accounts, who may not be able to utilize this system to recover. We are looking into further methods of account recoveries. We are interested to hear these situations though. If you are one of these players, please post under the petition section (Use the Account Recovery prefix) and explain your situation in detail. Please include the following information at minimum: If you are having problems logging in, please verify your eqhost.txt file contains the following: Code:
[LoginServer] Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Hi, great stuff. Question - how do I link my EQEmulator account to my P99 account? Another thing - it says my loginserver username must be at most 15 characters when I try to create my already-existing account, but my current username is 16 characters.

Now I have a question. I setup my SMS number and it says that I need to verify via email but my email listed on the eqemulator site was an old one. I tried to change the email address but the system says its locked and I can't change the email address there. Stuck. Edit: looks like I'm not alone: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37853 | |||
