Well if I were someone who did that and was banned they would be losing another customer because I wouldn't be getting a new account. I don't like being told who I can or can't give access to my accounts. Mind you I don't share my information at all, but if I did that is the stance I would take.


When you hit agree to EULA, do you cross your fingers behind your back?



Stop telling people you jerk!

What do you guys think of this anti-hacking measure Trion put into place for RIFT?

It is a good idea and something ALL MMO's should implement, immediatly. However, the Authenticator is #1.

I can't wait for my free Authenticator app for my smart phone that Rift is coming up with.


WoW has this, and it works pretty decently unless you happen to let your phone's battery die. Then you are on hold with Blizzard/Trion trying to unlock your account.



Seriously? I don't remember having that happen with mine. I was actually able to get them to unlock my account because I gave them the key to my old keyfob when I forgot to detach the smartphone app during a flash on the phone.

I don't understand the battery thing either... when the battery is empty on my mobile phone... well, I just reload it.
What's the problem?

As Heiro said, you must just be sure to detach the authenticator if you happen to flash a new ROM on your phone.

One thing is sure though - the account thieves are just as stupid on Rift than they are on WoW. I started receiving "our Trion account has been changed" emails on my trash email address which was never used for any MMORPG account... same as for WoW.

SWTOR: 50 Jedi Shadow (Tank), 50 Sith Marauder (Annihilation).
LOTRO: Lifetime account, playing very casually.
WoW: Both accounts canceled for now.
GW2: Future Warrior.
