Hacked Accounts
Rage master:
dynamic but syou can still tell if frankie who was from germany in some strange reason is from russia now.
Kelin:
Imagine a situation where I play on my computer having a dynamic IP. I would still have different set of IPs than some other guy who has stolen my account (nobody stole my account its just model situation ofc). So actually he wouldn't be able to connect via any of IP addresses used before the theft, am I right?
FrankenStone:
thats all right but i have spoken yesterday with kitty at nvr and she have told me that her acount was also hacked some time ago . but she also said that she got it back ^^ and u know how ? she asked her friends to hack into the stolen acount and the problem was solved . the only problem i have with all that stuff im hearing is that it seems to be too easy to get passwords , i mean ok if u have a complex password then it maybe isnt hackable because there are too many hashes but it isnt impossible at all it depends on ur machine and ur method . otherwise ive read even when u try to get passwords with the brutforce method u always need iformations that arent on your computer , so how can it be ? best solution would be the function that your account would be locked when u have entered 3 or 5 times the wrong password , 3 imo would be better though .

Your own Dynamic IP can change for some reasons and there might occur situations where the theft is done on circumstances that even you don't have the IP that was used on the character before, then by your point of view it wouldn't be your character anymore and the guy who stole your character would be "safe." Then again what happens when the theft is done in the same country? Dynamic IP's change, their called Dynamic for a reason.
Nobody is going to trace and check IP's then give characters or something back, too many flaws and holes.
Gob:
if this is not a troll thread and the stories above me are true. then someone is messing arround with a bruteforce of some sort. better add custom chacters to your passwords and up and lower letters, numbers too.
