It does seem ass backwards.

But is there really a reason to change your password if you haven't given it out?

Yes? I mean good internet habits dictate you should change all your passwords every 3-6 months as it is. Nowadays with people having apps on their phones that they store passwords in it's not beyond the realm. Wouldn't it be possible to tie an IP to an account? Does anyone have dynamic IPs nowadays?

Are you really changing your EQ password every 3-6 months?

You do know there are these things called laptops and WiFi networks right? You can also play from any computer via a flash drive. People don't just play on one computer in their home now days. Besides try resetting your cable modem and seeing if you get the same IP address.

There could be the possibility of tying accounts to MAC addresses and having to get permission to play on each new computer; however, that would be an insane amount of work for the staff to set up.

No IP's are basically worthless when it comes to banning or tieing things too. You can change your IP address everyday if you wanted too.

Sometimes I like to... ya know... move to a different town and not be tied to one house because of my EQ account.

Or, be out of town and use my laptop.

I guess all those "I'm poor let me come farm HS with you" was just bullshit. Glad I never invited you to join.

Giving all of us from The Nameless a bad rep...

Only paranoid fools do this for a game.

No reason, at all, to have your P99 password on your phone.

Yes, and even if not dynamic, many more change periodically. Besides, you can change you IP easily.
