Darkorbit Insurance

My idea is, Insurance for your darkorbit account, in the incident your account is hacked or stolen, and you can verify these and prove you are the original creator of the account, your items be refunded or a percent, lets say 50% of all money spent on your account which was hacked, is credited to your bank account (only in cases were you no longer have ownership of the account)

Cost: 150 USD for lifetime insurance

My question, would you buy it?

Yes or no, explain why or why not please.

Hit `Like`if you liked this thread.

 

I would do it, Sounds like a good idea

 

If you are proven to be the owner of the account which was stolen/hacked then you should have your items back as if it was before the incident.

what's the point of "buying" an account insurance?

 

Now that idea makes perfect sense....IMP @Alphabet

 

I like the idea but not for dark orbit. This games support is so bad I would rather quit then have to try to get my account back for hours trying to prove my account is stolen for them to tell me "we have a script that is 100% accurate and your account is clearly not stolen" nope sorry not gonna do it.

 

what about just creating a special code that only the owner would know and would be given to him by a text message directly to their phones that way in case of hacked account.. you just would send that code from any email to bigpoints telling them: " I want what my account had on the date "December 17 2013, time 12:30am" " and that would be it .. it would be like when u back up ur computer and easy fast and for me it sounds secure just make sure u take care of that code.... sounds better than to spend 150usd -.- u can use that for a new ipod or whatever...

 

Definitely would buy it. No question!

 

I believe the problem lies with the email and to counter account hacking DO should ask some security questions before a person can switch an account to another email address, this may not stop all hacking but its certainly a good way of limiting the success rate of hackers and to make sure that only the legitimate user can change account email address thus preventing hackers from simply stealing an account once they have the username and password....IMP

 

no i wouldn't buy it because i think it should be free. there should be a way that all players can for free verify there account and they should all be given the option to choose verification methods on signup

 

i agree with the idea
but in reality darkorbit will never do that too much time consuming and they have to put extra work for them self in order to make the changes
but a decent idea if it implied we would all benefit from it

 

Insurance or any account recovery method should be free to players.....I do not support the move to sell insurance and to be blunt its stupidity at the highest level...All players should be able to recover a stolen account i agree with you

I can give my input into this cause ive got my acc hacked/stolen 5 times and lost my main so the answer is no why you ask because you don't own the account so why pay DO for insurance on it .

Do what I did I pay a private email firm a monthly charge that my emails go through and its a lot secure and haven't had my acc hacked/stolen since , just a thought for players to do.

 

I like your idea but 150 USD are waytoo much.Something like 25 USD would work.

Absolutely Not.​

Nobody gets hacked on Darkorbit (not saying it could never happen)
The accounts get socially engineered .. Huge difference!

As long as your have a secure Computer & Email
and DO NOT :

1) Tell your so called friends your password.
2) Tell you so called friends you email.
3) Download software from your so called friends.

And lastly (an this is the main reason people get so called "hacked")
DO NOT ACCOUNT SHARE !!

If you are socially engineered .. you only have yourselves to blame!!
(no insurance would cover someone for being stupid)

I agree with the three point you have said but the rest of what you said is totally rubbish.

Have you ever had your account taken from you?

I haven't done anything you point out so your expert knowledge explain how they can do it lol.

Had 1 account deleted when it got stolen and that time I was a ww spending a lot each week and never had my account recovered from BP cause at that time they didn't belive in a thing called recycle bin.

Like I said since im paying a private email frim haven't had my account stolen/hacked , but I refuse to pay DO for insurance for something that's wont be safe.

 

Recipe for fraud. People will start using this insurance and when they want to quit they simply get a friend to hack their account and boom. insurance claim. Kinda the same as getting your car stolen when you want a new one. Its an alright thought but It may need more thought. How do you prove it was hacked? It's easy to go to a library login (different IP) and then delete all your kit. DO's "insurance" Is that you follow security protocol properly and don't get hacked in the first place

 

I didnt know you could insure something which isnt actually owned by yourself.

The account is solely owned by BigPoint, as the T&C's state, so no, you cant actually insure the accounts of which you create.

LAGI.

 

No I have never had ANY of my accounts taken from me (2009-2013)

Are you sure you didnt :

Get banned
Get Terminated
Get Suspended
pay your fees (eg -5,000 uri)
Adhere to a previous warning
log in for 4 weeks
Exploit a glitch
Lie about anything on registration
Get caught pushing
Use a non-authorized script

Just to reiterate on the "so called hacking"

I think this should be free... not entirely sure if I would buy or not but I voted yes because it could potentially save a lot more money should anything happen. I doubt anything would happen though since I am not like the "stupid" people who get hacked because they make simple mistakes.

 

IT'S A REMOVED GAME! NOT REAL LIFE!
