The other servers have managed to link a forum account name on their private forums with a logon server account in the following ways:
- Create some # command that does the linking. This command accepts two arguments: the forum username to be linked with, and that forum account's current password.
Example, if I made a forum account on your board called rangergs, then logged onto your game server using my standard eqemu login:
#forumlink rangergs r@ng3r
- If a new account logs onto your game server, the game informs them through a client message that they must link their forum account. Either you can "freeze" them by sending a gm-freeze packet until they do, or you could put a timer that kills their connection if they don't do it within 60 seconds, or something to that effect. Until they register a forum account and link it with your link command, they're limited in their ability to play on your server.
(This will require a little modification of your account table to hold what the account's linked forum name is. It will also require some code modification.)
