    This is horrible. I dont understand how they can do this. I didnt get any email and sounds like many others didnt as well. I just feel like a lot of people will lose their account forever because of this. And if i understand the risk of losing their account is why they "helped" people with this. I think this is the new definition of backwards thinking.

    I already got two automatic emails as answer but no real person. They better have a ton of people sitting their ready to deal with this. More likely they dont have anyone though.

    pwi really messed up this time. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it. I think they got a chance to show their true colors now. They have made a ton of people disappointed over the years but maybe now they will show they do care about the members.

    i don't think anyone is going to lose there accounts. as i said they day before this i had to have it unbanned due to setting off the ip anti ****. so the email and stuff still works but it seems when the bot reset are passwords makes no sense being i just reset them a week ago. its also broke the auto email on password reset.

    well this is just **** gr8. i cant log onto my main. cant log into my pw account. cant check on my tickets. i never asked for my password to b changed. i also advised pw last year about my new email address and of course they didnt do anything about it. my old email address has long since gone. i changed internet providers and have no clue as to what my old email address was. guess they r gonna say thats my fault. im suppose to be TWing this weekend on my main, now i cant. Thnx pwi. now fix this problem in a hurry. this is yr fault not ours. b:angry

    What about those people that can't go TW because of this?...

    Really, this only happens in PWI, no other game has this kind of bs, this is beyond stupidity... They do this right when a TW weekend and 2x event. If at least they would fix it, but it doesn't work for anyone

    /clap
    /clap

    good job pwi... you ***** up this time really badly
    Always man up. -> /watch?v=pvaN27TgJUc

    omg when r u guys gonna fix this. it has taken me all these years to my cleric to 104, she has rank 9 and now u go and stop us playing. do u guys even care about the ppl who play this game ?? seems u dont. coz we still cant log our mains in. and for yr information noone has logged my account in except me. i was on my main this morning - no probs - then all of a sudden, i couldnt access my pwi account. then i got booted from server and BANG could no longer sign into game. U guys had better get off yr butts and fix this. I have spent a lot of money on this game. if my main account is not fixed and i lose it. then u can stick the game where the sun dont shine. ie. right up yr ***

    Heard about this from a guildie, who couldn't log onto her alt's account. I had no idea it was a widespread problem! :(

    None of my accounts were affected thankfully... I actually got really antsy when I saw all of those spammers trying to scam people "$3 = something coin in-game" so I changed my passwords into really complex makes-no-sense alpha/numericals.

    I think it'd be wise to take advice never to use the same password for everything you use, that's doubly as bad as losing one account to a ****, it could then spread to anything else you also have an account on.

    As to PWE:
    I think it'd be very wise in the future to warn people you're about to do something this drastic, so that folks could recover their lost or terminated e-mails... I can't even remember all of my e-mails lol. I had to write down what I used for my two PW accounts or I'd forget. Especially my main account that I've had on PW for three years now. :/

    I am curious why this didn't affect all users though? It seems strange that it didn't if it was a game wide thing implemented to save people from potential hacking.

    Yet again we can see that PWI doesn`t give a damn about people, nor care to even warn players that this "procedure" will be administered on I guess random accounts? What now if people cannot use their old emails, cannot retrieve a new pass?

    In case you didn't see it, they made some changes a few hours ago in your account management
    -> https://register.perfectworld.com/account
    You can now change your Email, with the current Email being displayed
    -> https://register.perfectworld.com/account/change_email
    and to change the password you don't need the secret question anymore

    Well, seeing this message had eased my mind somewhat.

    When I tried to log into the forum / game earlier it said my username / password was incorrect.

    I started to fear the worst.

    Did anti virus and anti spyware scans before resetting the password and submitted a ticket.

    Only after i'd done the above that I saw this message.

    If PWE are going to start resetting passwords automatically after a certain amount of time (i.e. password expiry date), would appreciate it if they would let us know beforehand that this will happen if you don't change it.

    If you want to change your email adress it will send a verification mail to your old email adress. What if your old emailadress was blocked by the provider coz it was sending spam??? This way you will never be able to get acces to your account ever.....b:angry
