We all fear that a hacker might get on our account, steal our items, and delete our character. Well, when all security measures fail, this shouldn't. A Character & Inventory file backup system. Here's how it will work:

When you log off, your character and the items in it's inventory/bank and other data are saved to a file for later use. It will read and record IP address, so hackers on your account won't be able to tamper with it.

When your items are stolen, your character is deleted, or both, you can verify your IP Address, and a passcode to a Mod, GM, or someone who can verify it, and then upload the backup file to save over the damaged character's data. GMs will have access to the backup files, so they can detect any hackings on your account should you report a hacking.

With this system(which I'm sure will be improved by developers and players that post on this forum) will thoroughly repair damage done by hackers. I'm also certain that it will be complicated to implement, but the safety of the players is important, the extra work is worth it.

    and yes its possible actually they doing it with Server-Rollbacks.
    this game seems to save itself to the server every 10-15 secs or so. cos' as you maybe have noticed, then if u change something. move skilbar or so, then disconenct, then the action isnt done when your back on.
    Everything is kinda possible with Data. only question about money and time to make it work.
    I'm sorry for misspelling / mistyping and grammar b:surrender

    Yeah, money may pose a problem, but you can't put a price on safety.

    So that's why my skills weren't configured after I got d/c...
