Just stop accepting game codes as a valid way of obtaining account information. Period. It is a totally unacceptable way to claim an account.
Years ago when we used to get boxes, they came with an account upgrade and a new account code. Almost every one of us gave away our new account codes to friends when someone needed one to create a new account. They were never protected, private, or secret.
I have boxes from UO:R that I shared with an X. If he had these boxes he could just claim my accounts while trying to get the account information for his own accounts. He wouldn't even have to TRY to hack me, he'd just have to have these keys.
What a stupid stupid way to give out information on accounts.
Can we please discontinue this?
As recently as 7pm tonight, there's been a post on the official UO.COM site specifying account codes to get account information. Unacceptable.

Forget about the game codes please.If you don't remember your secret word, send an to email [email protected], supply them with your account name, email address, cc info, and any other information (e.g. game codes), and request to have the secret word changed.
