account "lock" option

adigagever92

Hello people

As a result of the hacking wave I went to play few days on lineage2.after playing few hours on some russian server I tried to play with my account options on their website that service offer,while playing on the settings I find out an amazing option calling "account lock"-basically they require from you very little first info(to verify you're the owner) for activate it-once you activate it your account is "bound by hardware" to the computer that activate this option,so basically no one would be able to log on into your account except you even if your account is scammed or something. even if your account will be scammed or sold or whatever you are safe since no one would be able to log in from other pc other than yours and harm your account.

Might be very cool to bring this option to crossfire -I don't think implement such a setting should be a problem,as for a first info for activation an email is a very bad idea,secr question+answear would be much better...such a thing will decrease by 95% all the scamming/buying/selling cases (more "mental peace" to players that their account safe and less headache for the account admin GM's ):p

Thoughts?

Though this would be great, I think it's a players own responsibility to keep their info to theirself. If everyone would just do that, people wouldn't be scammed either.

If everyone would keep the account information for theirself it would be easier.

So wait....if you bind your account to your computer....what happens if your computer dies on you then? Do you lose the account because nobody can access it from anywhere else but that computer supposedly? And if not and if you can provide details to retrieve it....then what's the point as we're back to just needing to secure our information to protect our accounts.

they'd be better off implementing some kind of 2 Step Verification when dealing with account issues. IMO

If your computer die >>then you go to z8games,log it,fill in secretary question+answer,and unlock the computer bound?

Basically only the real owner with access to the first info can lock/unlock it (and GM's of course),also in case they want to use laptop while they not at home for example and want do to play or want to log in from different alts from different computers... then also the same process...
