How to protect yourself from being scammed

Yep it is about scamming. I wanna give you some information about how to save your poor account from being emptied :P

 

Let's start...

 

1) Try using a difficult password. Avoid PWs that have your birthdate in them, or PWs which contain a part of your username. Never use an obvious password like : qwerty ,12345, 11111 or noob123 etc

 

2) When playing at a Cyber Cafe, Net cafe or whatever, be sure that you are alone when you are typing your pass. Many eyes can catch a glimpse of your pass and scam you. Protect the keyboard with your arms if possible.

 

3) No server owner, no server employee will ever , EVER ask your password. Simply because they can find it themselves via the db.

 

4) GMs and Admins do not care about your email, and email password and be sure that you don't give it to anybody.

 

5)When you are added in MsN by unknown players, which send you pictures, or rar files or whatever, right away, block the file delivery and block/delete the contact right away.

 

6)Never drop a weapon when a party is set at "loot by turn". It may cause your wep or armor or anything being picked by the other party members.

 

7) When you trade money for an enchanted wep, check what is given to you before trade, because from the icon you may be tricked.

-There are many emails like dhx_l2goldadmin@l2gold.org, or admin@l2gold.com, or dhxadmin@l2gold.org or admingm@l2gold.org etc. T-H-E-Y A-R-E F-A-K-E. They will trick you and scam you, they may say that you can become gm etc. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!

 

Hope I helped  ;)

Yes its useful.

But when i start play Lineage 2 (C3) my pass was like my Acc.And one day me char was "nude" and it was set-ed to delete.From that day my pass is over 8 symbols a-z 0-9 :).

So remember Never gives your password to any one ... if he says "I am admin /GM give me you pass to test ... " you must write /gmlist and see if his name shows like GM just report to Admin :P if not just give him Wrong Acc and Pass :D

    • My fascination with Chernobyl's impact led me to discover a comprehensive article here https://chernobylstory.com/blog/51-fact-about-chernobyl/ packed with facts about the disaster's aftermath and recovery efforts. This article provided me with a broader perspective on the socio-economic and ecological implications of the event, making my visit more insightful and enriched my understanding of the complex legacy of Chernobyl.
    • imbadon.com If u deleted me from the content, it is your problem. This 200 euro is not money at all. But you... just scammer. People should know about you. I can share the whole conversation if you want, but it will not change that you are a scammer. 
    • For upcoming changes, You should consider making those 3 tabs (or whatever more You will have with new games) more visible and standing out, because right it looks like all topics hidden under those 3 tabs.
    • While not particularly active over the years, I've been around for as long as I could remember, so here are my 2 cents too. On top of what has already been said, I'd like to touch on a few thing that might be improved upon. While it is easy to notice and say "there's lack of engagement" or "community has outgrown the ganre", I've seen numerous forums get forgotten and die while others continue to thrive to this day. The main issue, in my humble opinion, is that the sector has been commercialised to an unsustainable extent. When nobody is willing to share anything, even if it is just a rework of an open-sourced or already-shared resource, the sense of "community" gets deminished. Now back on the pressing matter. From what I've seen, the lack of engagement could be circumvented with a redesign and functionality expansion that would/could/should include: - a built-in chat functionality. - incentives for engagement/interaction, ideas of which I'll list as separate pointers, as not to limit your creativity. But just as an example, from a more user/human perspective, having an easily identifiable way to get into "the club of the cool kids on the block", figuratively speaking, is an incentive on its own. - separation of the reputation into reactions and reputation. One to be used to posts, such as up-vote and what not, while the other to be awarded as means of appreciation. - automated ranks with actual benefits/perks, not like the current ones providing nothing. - the ability to hide text for user/group of users, not just premium/no premium. - increased visibility of the HOT topics and the RECENTLY ACTIVE threads/posts. Can be also expanded to most liked posts, etc. ps.: I'll update my post when I have some free time on my hands.
