Password Recovery sugestions!! Open discussion

FREEEEEEEE the gnome!


Tie password recovery back to the email account used to create the login server account over at EQEmulator?


Move characters off of the locked out account onto a whole new account? ++

I think having about 2-4 security questions would be a good way to verify that the original owner of the LS account. Maybe have some way to reset the LS password after the security questions correctly. I know in the Coastguard we use a tool to do a simple right click, and reset PW for users who have locked themselves out of their account.

But, I know something sweet and simple is ideal.

Th only problem i see with simply making the PW "reset" to the original email is all the accounts that have been sold over the last year. The original owners can at any time come back and simply retake the charactor. I propose the following:

An ingame message allowing people temporary time to change there email for individual LS loggin accounts. Or assign an email to each LS account. Then after the week/two week time period simply have a "reset" feature on the website.

ANOTHER idea

Donation basis resets. Have a guide handle all resets (confirming current owners using ip or questions). When the owner is confirmed you pay nilbog and co. for there time to reset or a copy of your account onto a new account, and delete the old. I would say 40$ is a fair amount. These are just ideas

I am currently in the same boat as you slapen. I cant remember my PW and am dieing to play on my toon again!
