If you think we don't get spam bots or gold farmers, you're mistaken. If we wanted your personal info, we could already have it - just ask anyone who's threatened the server. It's a phone number for a text, not a social security number, and as has already been pointed out, you don't even have to have a real phone to get the text. Anyone who can take the amount of effort to type an entire paragraph, should first take the same amount of time to read the entire thread and find all of the paranoia has already been addressed.

I did read the thread, every post of it, and I still don't see why this has to be required with no opt-out. It's not paranoia, it's a practical issue. I'm just worried about not being able to play. I can't receive texts from outside my country. I'm not being a whiny bitch, it's shit like this:

You don't realize how common that sort of thing is when you're not subjected to it. I'd seriously rather play without account security than having to go through the considerable trouble of verifying my RL existence to strangers across the globe. It's awesome that you're willing to go to these lengths to provide a security service to your players, but I just don't see why it has to be mandatory, or why it can't be conducted in a way that doesn't rule out certain people. I guess I could go ask one of my colleagues if I can use his phone to make a call from Denmark to the United States so some people will let me play on their emulated Everquest server, but I'm not loving that idea either. Isn't there a less awkward alternative? Skype or something?
