Hi Everyone, The weekend is upon us again and hopefully you’ve picked up your copy of Fallen Earth and are settling in for a productive trip into the waste land. As I’ve played, I’ve noticed a lot of questions pop up again and again on the help channel so I thought it’d be good to send us [...]
One of the worst things that can happen to you is to have your account stolen. You feel violated and more than likely have an uphill battle ahead of you to get you’re your account back. And, if you do, you may never get all of your gear or gold back. I’ve been playing MMOs for a few years now and I’ve been lucky enough to never get a keylogger or trojan on my system. I don’t go crazy with security programs or get extra paranoid when I’m surfing the internet. I just know a few fundamentals and run a little lightweight software in the background. When considering how to secure my computer, my most important software considerations are that the programs are free, reliable, lightweight, and easily shut down. The idea behind this may be a little antiquated in today’s RAM world but it’s served me well. The premise is that the less RAM my security programs use, the faster my computer runs. Likewise, I like the ability to shut the programs down through the task manager when I boot up my favorite MMO, allowing the game to have access to as much memory as possible. My goal today is to help you secure your accounts and rid yourself of a little stress when you’re browsing or downloading. I can’t guarantee you’ll never get logged. If you’re not doing anything to secure yourself though, or even very little, I can guarantee that you’ll be better off after working through this guide. Introduction: I originally compiled this guide in December of 2008. At the time, I was heavily playing World of Warcraft during a period when latency issues abounded due to Lake Wintergrasp. On top of this, a certain ISP *cough* Comcast *cough* was also causing a lot of issues based on their own internal designs. Yet, even though Comcast customers had it worst, they weren’t the only folks suffering from ping-stress. I, as a Roadrunner customer in Western New York, suffered to. Strangely, it was only in instances where my computer had to trace a different path to connect to the game. As a mage, the high latency made playing effectively almost impossible. So, I searched and scoured and scrounged though the interwebs until I uncovered every tip and trick I could find. Wanting to avoid going through that hassle again, and hoping to help others steer clear of it too, I put this together in the hopes that MMORPG’ers everywhere might benefit. I’ve left the guide in its original form. Somehow, I feel that it captures the mood in which it was written better than an introduction would be able If you have a tip or trick that’s not included below, please email me at admin@gamebynight.com. Enjoy! |
