- Bank it!
Here at MMO Fallout, we follow the intuitive systems that various companies use to keep your account secure. So far, the safest systems we’ve seen also happen to be the most cumbersome, such as the authenticator system used by Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft, while others are intuitive and useful, such as the on-screen keyboard that multiple MMOs have made use of.
On Runescape, however, Jagex has decided to take the fight to brute forcing, by disconnecting the login name from the character. In an update today, Jagex has implemented a system that will take effect for new accounts: When registering, players are now required to submit their email address which will be used as the player’s login rather than their toon’s username. As a person’s email address is not displayed in-game, it will be impossible to guess a person’s login information.
In other Runescape account related news, Jagex plans on freeing up millions of account names by implementing a system where names are freed up as certain prerequisites are met. If an account meets all of the below requirements:
- It hasn’t been logged into in the last year
- It hasn’t been used to purchase any membership
- It has no RuneScape skills of level 30 or above
The name will be put up for anyone who wishes to take it. If a player loses their username, they will be required to choose a new one upon logging in.
More Runescape as it appears.
