Warning Re: Safety Lock Function

As per my knowledge of what I have been told, it is not going to be changed for PWI.

It is a feature not just used in gaming cafes, but at homes on family computers, friends houses, and dorms, etc; and other community PC use like setups where it helps users keep their accounts safe. Keyloggers are everywhere.

So it does help players at home, and anywhere that they play.

May I ask why did you put the safety lock on in the first place?

Did you read what it does?

Why did you enter a time?

Why did you confirm it twice?

With this system, it may be fine for gaming cafes, especially in Asia, but what works in gaming cafes doesn't necessarily translate into a anti-hacking system elsewhere... I'd rather have a security system like the one used for Ragnarok Online or Phantasy Star Universe than the frustrating system used here.

I did follow the instructions clearly and I entered a time because I thought that was what I was supposed to do.

As for putting on the lock, I thought it was to be a temporary thing and I didn't know that it would reset if I got disconnected... Why you guys don't make it more clear that the timer resets if your game gets disconnected, I don't know.

I wouldn't be too surprised the game gets more and more people leaving by the day due to this draconian security system.

I can understand where you're coming from, seeing as you're the distributor's main representative online, but if the distributors of the game aren't willing to listen to the people who buy the game as well as buy the extra add-ons then I don't see a future for this game at all outside Asia... [I'm just stating my forthright honest opinion, BTW]

PW is a free to play game... It does have an added cash shop but you do not have to buy anything you can though.

I had accidently key in the safety key lock to 24hrs... and it's like terrible... is there a way GM could help me set back to the default 1 mins? Help will be greatly appreciated.

Just set it back to one minute then leave the safety lock alone. It takes 72 hours to reset itself to 1 minute so do not touch it afterwards. You can relog in and out as much as you want just do NOT touch it after setting it to 1 minute once.

First: it's simple why coz the HELP SYSTEM OF GAME IS POOR AS HELL
you have to trythings to get it coz you get no help at all until u find it your self or friends had that issue before.

second: coz it ask for enter number to get work and we undrestand how it's work

third: as u wrote i did enter 1 minute and leave it well 3 days past and still that stupid lock won't let me do anythings

now what what after 72H and still same problem won't offb:angry
should i keep my pc online for another 72H on game!


fourth: if u put exactly this message you wrote in help system in first place at least i never go near of that button in first place and no need too much argue for this button atall

Same here,just playing since a couple of days and now .. by terrible mistake i put the Safety log onto 24 hours!?!? And for what i have read on this posts, i must wait for 72H to play !?!? Hehe,nice account protection system,YES IT IS !!! LOL YOU!!!..The game is not bad,yeah i have played alot Online games,this one is cool..But the system hardly S UCKS!!!!Just kill all my fun,by reading the Admin's Post : Safety Logs cannot be resetet ? HEHE !!!! Well .. thanks and GOOD LUCK ALL!! LOL!

Nobody but you yourself can reset it back. Please put it to 1 minute once then leave it alone for 72 hours real time (you can log in and out in that time).

It takes 72 hours to reset itself to 1 minute after you changed it once. Just do not touch it and leave it alone for 3 days.

No they can not sorry. b:sad

As I saw a GM say in another post 55 million people play this game worldwide without problems with it. They are not taking it away sorry.

Just telling you what they are saying about it I did not mean to offend.

but what the hell, my invetory is full and i cant sell items, coz my inv is full, i cant get my quest wep reward either coz of safety lock, i did put it on 0 h 1 min, it says still 24h, then i'm like uncaupable of doing omethin.

As Aryannaveno said, after you change it back to 1 minute, do not change it again. After 72 hours, it will revert back to 1 minute.

No. You just need to not touch the Safety Lock settings button for 72 real world hours, after putting a shorter setting timer in and confirming it. You do not need to be online for that period, you do not need to log off for that period, you can log in and out in any combination.

b:cry

I done that mistake, i w8 3 days, and today i was happy cuz i tought that i would back to this game... and guess what??? Nothing happenedb:sad
Please, change this about safety lock, i think "the administrador" can get others ways to secure the accounts! :S
As you can see, many people are doing this "mistakes" withou intention and are being "punishing" for days to a game they like playing!
One more time, fix that problem, i love this game and u dunno what i feel when i enter on my character and.... safety lock mode ON...ok i can play and bla bla bla... but i have my bag empty ... so i think i cant do nothing :S
Im getting crazy!!!!! b:shockedb:angry

Stay well.

So i started played, reached lvl 14 and logged out then in the afternoon a flashing icon shows up in the left upper corner, i press it and saw it was something about security ( i didnt thou it was so harmfull ) i typed 8 hours, then i logged out for some reason and entered again one hour later. Went to a NPC to sell stuff and saw it didnt worked... then i saw something about " Safety Lock its still Activated". WoW this is useless, its just a TRAP. Now i know i need to wait 72 hours to play again ( why play again? cuz my inventory is full ). Sorry but im uninstalling this game, it has great potencial and everything but just a small cheap security feature ruins it. Congratulations u lose one costumer ( i was about to spend money on the cash shop ). Also when any of my friend ask about this game, I will say: "Its just a trap for gamers, dont waste your time".
