He should be restricted to help channel
He is.
Given the age of UO, I would highly suspect that it would not support 2FA without major changes to the launcher (and we know that isn't going to happen with this team)
Please NO, do you know what a pain in the but that would be when logging in chars. to collect gifts.
The application would not, but the website that is used to create accounts (Even EJ) is not old.
The problem with this is that the developers (Way before even Broadsword) were spooked into making drop rates very low for rarity or to combat farming. The majority of shards are also low population. So it becomes too time consuming to get items normally. As Merlin once put it here before, why shouldn't players buy the items with real money rather than spend hours a day to get it? If they are working instead of playing the game, shouldn't they still be able to get the items?
I think several people would hate 2FA because several people have already complained it takes too long to log in as it is (especially if relogging in on the same shard after the first char was on a mount).
Again... not in the client. The website.
Why would you need 2FA just to log into the website when you are using your account to do it and unless you have not logged into acc maag. you do not need 2FA to log into it. Requiring 2FA does nothing to combat EJ Accounts as only paid accounts can use forums and there is nothing to use on the main web site the requires you to log in. Total waste of resources.
EA would never allow that as it would cut into their cash flow.
I have you on ignore here on Stratics, but was curious...
They can't keep the website up as it is... I think the higher priorities would be keeping the website up without issue for a few months... and also solve for their website not keeping people logged into the forums via Chrome. Baby steps.
The topic wasn't about priorities. It was asked what they could do. I posted what they could do.They can't keep the website up as it is...

Sorry, I was trying my best at not being negative.
*looks terribly horrified at the thought of not having chat enabled*
Okay, just so long as we're on the same page that there are reasonable action steps that could be taken if they were capable.Sorry, I was trying my best at not being negative.
How what I wrote could also be read/intertpreted: The team can't even keep the website from going down on a monthly basis or figure out how to allow people using Chrome to stay logged in; do you really trust them to do some sort of authentication without messing it up and locking people out?
Make it so that ONLY if someone wants to create EJ account, they have to go through 2TFA authentication! Not to create a regular, or pay account. Not too hard to do.
LMAO You can get into Acc. Man. with out going through the UO.COM website. You can add 2FA if you want, I see absolutely no need for UO having 2FA. UO is not worth hacking. We need more security for a 25 year old game, give me a break. As it is right now you may only have ONE EJ Acc. logged it per ISP at a time and they can only use the help ch. You really think UO is going to get EA to do this just to piss off even more customers to jump through more hoops. Total waste of UO and EA manpower. I could really give a rats ass if you have me on ignore or not because it will not stop me responded to stupid ideas like this and if you though this was such a great idea you would post it on the real UO forums.
What is funny is he thinks you sign in on the UO website to create accounts, what a joke.They can't keep the website up as it is... I think the higher priorities would be keeping the website up without issue for a few months... and also solve for their website not keeping people logged into the forums via Chrome. Baby steps.
Guys like him are why our in-game inflation is out of control. Why farm gold when you can buy it in a minute. It has ruined an integral part of the game.
Out-of-control inflation has its benefits. On my home shard, I can buy an arrow from one bowyer for sixty gold pieces and sell it to the one standing next to him for four hundred. I have made millions in this way. Would you deny me the opportunity to make a living?
Even if you have trusted devices and you have not logged in for a long time they still send you a code but then you are ok for a period of time.
He is not the cause be he is defiantly taking advantage of it. The cause of inflation is having a glut of gold with very few ways for it to come out of the game. Gold dupes is the major cause of inflation. Selling items for gold then selling gold to gold sellers just move gold around, it does not create gold and it takes a long time to farm 1P gold I do not care what people brag about. I make the majority of my gold by selling items from the store to buy items from players to replace resources and PSs.
Does anybody play Mugen?
Yes 2
Have you read my posts? I don't think anyone would say I give a pass to this game
I have a house there and log on about once a month
I do that, too, and have also made millions that way.
Where do you think that glut of gold came from? When you can buy $100,000,000 for $24. It used to take me years to make a million back in the day. I completely disagree with you.
LMAO They are selling gold that is already in the game, what you think they magically pull it out of thin air and sell it. ATTENTION PEOPLE Gold sellers now have the ability to magically make gold, LMAO.
People did make gold out of thin air by duping bags full of 1 million gold checks.. then deposit into their bank to "clean" it. Idk if duping still exists but the fact that all that gold was created way back then exponentially added amounts of gold that normally would take decades to make.
So you are accusing Avatar of all the duping way back when people were duping 1M checks. How many accounts would it take to dupe 1P in gold?
I'm not really sure the exact steps that were used back in the day to dupe things, but I'd assume all you need is one account; even if you needed 2 chars you could just ask a trusted friend to help. A backpack can hold 125 items so if the person was duping a bag of checks (assuming 124 checks); they would only need to dupe that bag 8x. Again, I don't know how the duping was done (ie how long it took) but even if it was something to do with server down (ie once day) that's only about a week of doing it with 1 account to net the person 1P.
That first part you quoted was called sarcasm. An account back then held 250 items total bank/pack so 4 paid accounts to hold 1P or take the chance of putting it in a house. 1P today is a drop in the bucket and I think if there were any gold dupes going on today we would have heard about it. Someone is mass farming gold drops is all I can think of.
Not sure where 4 accounts came from. Bank held 125 items / each char held 125 items (around time of duping there were at least 6 char slots but maybe 7) - that equals 250mil per character... that only totals up to 4 chars.
Just used 4 Chars to show how many it would take to do 1P and back then it was 5 chars per account.
i been saying that for years, but i get yelled out when i point it out, they can stop him if they really wanted to, they can shut his website down, blizzard does it all the time.
He is restricted to HELP Chat not GEN Chat. The only chat EJ Acc.s can use is HELP. They constantly ban his accounts and he opens more up and as far as shutting him down good luck with getting EA to do this or having a Judge do it after 25 years allowing this stuff would be a huge stretch.
