Replacing forum names with account names is lulzworthy.


Post says current forum name will transfer into a display name. I don't pay much attention to vB, but probably other people can only see your display name anyway.

Only way using game login for forums is worse is maybe phishing, and it's better in terms of not having to remember a second login/pass.

Well if I understand correctly, there was some sort of hack on the LOTRO forums not too long ago. Don't the LOTRO forums have this "game account is your forum login" thing that people are up in arms about?

Most games use a single sign on these days.  It is less secure because there is another point of possible interception.  If they put their login behind SSL that will help.  They really should be offering an authenticator at this point.

That's the other side...Turbine's web team can't get MYDDO working after 3 years and forgot to renew the domain name.  So, YMMV...

I dunno anymore. Maybe I just take that whole software engineer side too seriously. Killing off security redundancies really does strike me as colossally ill-informed.

I would tend to agree.  I preferred that the forums were separate.  It's just becoming a rarity these days.  One guess at why they are changing it is so you can make store purchases from the website.

Maybe part of the billing upgrade they did it will now allow them to incorporate an authenticator.

I tend to agree.

Never attribute to ineptitude that which can be adequately be explained by avarice.

Or something...

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

I originally wanted to get a forum account, but there is supposed to be some sort of bug that kept new accounts from being made (according to the CS email I received from Turbine Huh)

So instead of fixing it, they decided to just dump everything and make it more of a security risk? Nice...

A positive I can see coming out of this finally is since I already run an independent site for gaming I am going to try to get a new blog portal going for those who liked putting words on the internet, and this one will respect and give props to all DDO centric places including the Vault. I probably won't use DDO in the title though so that they wont feel the need to say im infringing. Im going to get to work on this multi blog site in the morning wish me luck, wish I could do something about the API stuff Sad
