good/bad idea? - Snowman12 - 10.01.2012

Hey,

I'm asking for your comment, do you think it would be a good or bad idea for players to be able to /change username or /change password in game?

I'm asking this because I have never needed to change my passwords but know people who do.

Thanks,

It isn't necessarily a "bad idea," more like a safety issue. The username, not so much- the password is the real problem! I'll give you a scenario:

Say someone hacks my account and decides "Hm. This douche has a lot of nice stuff on here!" and then does /changepassword you'realoserhahahaha. I'm kind of screwed in the face, because say I have a dynamic IP address too. Now how are we supposed to know who's account it is?

Hopefully, you can use your common sense and imagine what else could happen.

Ahh, Okay I will keep that an administrator command, or by request only however you still think the change of username would be perhaps a good idea?

Best regards,

Providing it is logged I do not see an issue with it.
