    Possible Security Improvement

    It is very possible this has been stated elsewhere, but I've noticed other games have PIN numbers and such on personal banks and guild banks. Just an idea i thought i would throw out there. I think this would increase the level of security in case of a hack (and yes I am quite aware that was the purpose of the authenticator but i still think it would be an easy FREE option to incorporate into the game that everyone would benefit greatly from.)

    Examples:

    Optional PIN for personal bank

    Optional passwords on guild bank tabs set my GM or Officer.. ect


    also very, sorry i noticed after reading a few comments that i shouldnt have psted this here.. im not real sure how to move this thread or if i can for that matter.. i just joined the forums today.

    It would get keylogged just as simply as your password does, it would be pretty redundant.

    The only problem with that is that a keylogger will also pick up that PIN number that you use.

    Just because you are unique, does not mean you are right.

    runescape does this. a very odd very trolltastic free mmo.



    Also as for security and a free option guild masters have one. They can set ranks to require authinticators to be promoted to said rank. So we can lock out people who wont get a damn 7 doller authinticator but will pay 50 for cata and 15 a month for playing and another 25 for a horse.

    yeah but if the pin was entered on a pad that came up on the screen where you click with the mouse it could not be keylogged

    "PIN numbers"

    Personal Identification Number Numbers

    *head explode*

    I've seen multiple MMO's do this and pull it off. Maple Story, Conquer Online, Runescape. It should be adapted, especially on guild banks.

    RF Online has a PWed bank system. granted its now a F2P, but still, having a different PW on your bank then what your account is would be nice.

    I was asked a simple question in school today; 3 men walk into a bar, 1 orders a Margarita, 1 orders a Screwdriver, and the third orders the largest glass of Guinness he could get. Which on is gay?
    My answer: The one who bought the Guinness because he gave it to me.
    my teacher looked at my answer and laughed. i got bonus points because of it.
