Hacked Accounts

have you tought of adding a visual keypad code to limit keylogger posibilities ?

i think lineage 2 has (or had) it on some way. you login with your normal login/psw and then you are asked to click on a randomly sorted numpad a 4 digit code that you initialy "clicked" on your first login (since measure implementation).

this could limit password thief via key/mouse loggin.

I've mentioned this so many times now. Maple story has it, and it works brilliantly.

The best way to learn decent MMO security methods is by looking at Asian MMOs. This location based account locking thing is only good for people using static IPs, which most European ISPs are not.

No. GGG will not restore items lost.
Sucks that GGG wont get our items back. You would think before even going into "open beta" they would have their security working the right way.

They should have had some type of system that logs peoples past items, etc.

This is terrible excuse on their own. This is a ALWAYS ONLINE DRM, and they SHOULD have account issues their main priority!
Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone logged in from a location that you don't typically play from - "Feuchtwangen, Bayern, Germany".

Obviously, this IP-town assignment check doesnt work perfectly in Germany. Login was always from same computer...

Yes, I live in this area, but I don't hack my own account :)

your ISP probably has different centers from which to assign your IP

Well then, sounds like you're well and truly Feucht.

Sorry, couldn't stop myself >.>
Just had my first account locked message, came from japan... considering i live in australia...

Oh well, running a few scans see if anything is lurking before i attempt to change my password.
well im getting locked every day.
Its always from germany (i live there) in a bigger city nearby.
as it was already pointed out by Boehm and others, this is due to the IP
changing my provider does. Im happy that GGG reacted so fast to the hacking
attacks and came up with something. I have never seen a company taking so much care of a game
as GGG does(new patch almost everyday).especially since its a rather small comapany and the game is still in beta. Well I rather type in an unlock code every day, if it prevents theft, than getting all my stuff stolen. It doesnt really take much effort to copypasta the unlock code. But actually this cant really be a long term solution in my opinion.
