Next Release

DeletedUser · #1 05-12-2002, 07:14 AM

We are working (well most of us) as fast as we can on getting the emu working with current client again. This will be a total wipe of characters upgrade, not something we could stop.

Well, the devs have come to a conclusion for the next release of the EMu, we will be redoing the login server accounts again. This is a prime time to make everyone have no duplicate accounts (again, I know).

The new system will be totally different than what you know now. You HAVE to have a valid, non hotmail/excite/yahoo email address (sorry, if you DONT have a normal account, how are you on the net? Does your ISP really suck that much?). You will go to apply for a cdkey from our signup page, it will email it to your email address. Once you have this, you will be able to use the NEW ACCOUNT button in the client and use your account instantly. That is streamlined from the way the system is now. Questions or comments on it? Please post replies to this thread.

And we want to stress completly, that your e-mail addresses will NOT be given out or leaked in any way. dont worry about your ISP/e-mail providor finding out you are using EQEmu

Can the devs create an account if we have a cable E-Mail? My Cable E-Mail has 1500 messages in it. I get on average 100 spam a day. I gave up on it. I use my Hotmail because it allows insta blocking.

why would a dev create it if you have an e-mail? you will have to validate it yourself from your computer (i think its an IP thing).

Is this IP-based or just email based? I ask this because my sister plays too and she's on the same LAN but with a different email address

This fixes the AOL/Cable people behind proxies. Even if you get 100 spams a day (I do too, on my hotmail account), you can still find this and use it for 1 moment to setup your account. Devs have no way to override this, cause, that would defeat the purpose of having these checks.

Hogie I've been using Excite as my only email for the last year and a half.... I'm sure I could use my ISP email, but it's registered to my dad's office (ie, NOT mine). So, I don't know how well that would go over. Is there any way we could get authorization over IRC, AIM, ICQ, etc.?

Shawn319 · #8 05-12-2002, 12:49 PM

frankly i dont think anyone wants to take the time hand authorizing everyone ( *IF* it could be done ).

I'm sure there is at least one other free e-mail providor hogie hasnt thought of

best bet is to try to find one of them.

LOL okay that made my day, that was some funny "sh!t" to read =)

If you want another email that probably isn't 'blocked' would be barrysworld.com =) it is usually for online Clan games but I dont play any of the games they discuss and I have an account (free POP3).

You could also try iclinux.com

DeletedUser · #13 05-12-2002, 02:16 PM

Were in your grasp? Uh... last I checked there IS a downloadable login server...

TDD · #14 05-12-2002, 02:34 PM

Yep, you guys are turning into Verant. Its only free, we can create and GM our own server, we don't have to camp items for days on end, or need to be in an uber guild to do everything, or have to pay 50 bucks a month just to see giant level 3 orcs attack Freeport. But besides that, you guys ARE Verant.

/sarcasm off

Go to www.hehe.com to get email address. It's got about 130 different domains for emails it seems like =P. But all emails are monitored by our computer, and if an IP registers two different accounts with the same email it'll ban that IP from the login server, so I wouldn't try to make more than 1 =) Anyways! =D Incase you haven't heard, publiclogin will be broken with the nextpatch and it has been discontinued.
