It was bound to happen eventually, but it looks like NCsoft’s recent rise in account theft has bled over to Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. Just a couple days ago, Turbine placed the above notice on the game launcher, reminding players to change their password regularly. Granted, if you have a password that isn’t easy to guess and keep your computer secure, such an act wouldn’t be necessary (I haven’t changed my passwords in years, and I use the same three passwords on everything), but to each his own.
Of course, increasing security is always a good thing. For every player like myself, who does not share a computer, there are those with siblings/parents who have the technical know-how of-hey check out this cool new Windows Theme, by the way your anti-virus wouldn’t stop blocking the website so I shut it off.
Play safe.
