Safer forum?

In the Newsletter (on the back page), it says that:

How is this forum safer than the old forum? I actually feel less safe than anything, considering the fact that if someone hacks into my game, they can very easily get into the forums just to cause more trouble, then in turn get me banned. Atleast in the other forum, I had 2 different passwords, one for the game, and one for the forums, that way, if one got hacked, someone couldn't also hack into the forums as well.

 

Hello cooljak96

The security concerns mentioned were largely based around areas not visible to players. I cannot go into more detail than that (for obvious reasons).

Admittedly, I also miss having a "back-door" into my Forums accounts, so I do understand the frustration of needing to log into the game just to get access - that being said, it does provide a more secure and traceable system overall for verifying accounts, so this would be one of those situations where the needs of Support come first.

(In the unlikely event that your account was hacked, you could always contact Support to request that your Forum account be blocked to prevent any malicious postings).

Do you have further questions?

 

No! You may close. Thank you!

 

Enjoy the game.
