Warning Re: Safety Lock Function
Comments

I never touched it why am i subject to this stupidly insane function0
-
Because you activated it, or your friend did. The default is 1 minute. Please read and follow the directions in the first post.Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

okay i really need help =| What happens if you accidentally put it to 24 hours, I know you gms can's touch the lock, but is there some way, besides waiting 3 days, to by pass that?0
-
Yes I did something stupid and well I did try to set the safety lock back to 1 minute and hell kept my computer on all night and yesterday. I got disconnected and well now I'm stuck in 24 hours again. Can anyone please help me, I've tried to stay on for 3 days and well it's not working because I get disconnected.0

If you did not know about safety lock, and do not want to wait the period of time, You could always change the server you are in.
Ex: If you have the safety lock in Lost City, and you want to be in a PvP server, you can always go to Harshlands, it is a PvP and when you change servers, the safety lock does not follow you between the servers0 -
Im not sure if someone said this before but why not just put a password up to turn the safety lock off?
Maybe a pin number.0 -

Maybe a pin number.
Maybe becouse a keylogger can read a pin or password.
Safety lock is a very good tool if you have spent a lot of time and money on the game.
(I would be very pissed if i lost everything it took 3+ months to make if it was made possable a way to override the safty lock)
I notice a lot of people saying things like "I reset safty lock to 1 min but when i log in it still says xxx time"
I will try and make it clear for you......The new 1 min setting timer is running in the background(72 hours)
When you log in all you will see is the old setting, do not worry about this, the new setting you have asked for is still counting down in the background.
If you DO NOT touch the safty lock for 3 days(72 hours) after putting in your new settings you will then see the new settings replace the old settings.
So thats it, change your safty lock to 1 min then forget about it, dont touch it, just ignore it for 3 days(72 hours)b:victoryIt is better to remain silent and be thought the fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.0 -

That....Is.....A....Horrible.....reason.....to get rid of the safety lock.
Give me your acc info and i'll show you why the safety lock is good.

You can lose more then coins. try getting to a higher level first with highly refined and good gear and then give me your account info. Watch in a matter of minutes your HH gear and mount(s) will magically disappear into my bank.

So i st my lock to 3 hours on purpose, and after 3 hours it deactivated naturally. So i relogging thinking it would activate again and it didn't? I mean i came back on and it was still deactivated :S Do i have to wait a certain amount of time before it activates again?0

The safety lock is account-wide, not character-wide, so if you only logged off one character and logged onto another it will still be turned off. If you log off your account entirely, however, it will be back to 3 hours when you log back on.==/Senior QA Lead/==

You need to set the safety lock for 1 minute, then wait 3 days. Please be aware that during these three days it will still say 24 hours, because that is still the current safety lock setting. If you try to set it to 1 minute again during this 3 day period, the 3 day waiting time will start over.==/Senior QA Lead/==

Ok, so I wrote a note to the GM's so reset my lock after outright stating i had tried the set it to 1 minute and wait 72 hours. So they send me a letter telling me to do what I've already done, what none of the GMs seem to understand is that it's very hard to keep this server running for 3 days when it shuts down on u for no reason. I'm really angry due to the fact that i spend 300 dollars or more a month on this game, and they send me a msg telling me they cant fix it. Well if they can't fix it maybe I just wont cash shop anymore.0

You do not have to be in-game to wait out the time.
Set the timer to 1 minute. Confirm it and exit the game.
Come back 4 days later (if you absolutely can not help but mess with it, or try to do stuff in-game), and start the game.
If you keep resetting it, to "check" on it, you start the 72 hour period over again.
GMs can not reset it. It is a hard coded security feature for players to protect their items and accounts with.
Please fully read the message and info thoroughly before typing in a time, confirming it, reading the additional confirmation message, and then clicking confirm again.Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

I logged onto PW the other day,
and found my safety lock had been
changed from 1 minute to 24 hours.
I however, don't remember making
the change myself. and i dont share
my info, too paranoid. it says it takes
3 days to change back, so i figure, "hey,
i can wait that long." then i logged in
the next day, and the setting had been
changed back to 24 hours. is that normal?
or is my safety lock on crack? ><;0 -
What visually there does not matter.
Follow the directions. Set it to 1 minute. Confirm.
Log out.
Leave the game alone for 4 days, if you can't resist looking at, or even clicking on the Safety Lock.Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
