Ryzom

Constant vigilance! I'm trying to use "tiered" approach myself - different passwords and usernames at work (and even then divided between regular user and administrative ones), home servers and workstations, games and finally forums and stuff... But usually I try to keep my passwords at least longer ...

Ryzom is based on the OpenNeL framework. It's open source, so everybody can participate. Mufeline, I am sure you have all skills to make amazing changes to improve security and performances :) Good luck ;) Sure, just point me to present owners recruitment ad, or the site for BSD-licensed fork of ...

I believe there are more important security issues than that. And obscuring the protocol won't help your 'security'. The question isn't pure about security, but using extremely chatty services when more terse, specialised ones can do communication with less than half of the bandwidth. 99% of all ...

Still, if the forums didn't show account names, it'd still be pretty easy to find used account names just by seeing which are taken, and then you can try out passwords on those... True, but still lot of more effort than just trawling the forums and collecting the usernames. I gotta admit that with ...

If some uberhacker manages to read the datastream between you and the server, or put a keylogger on your computer, or whatever, he's going to get your login name as well as your password anyways. Similarly if you naively give your password to someone, I assume you'd naively give them your login ...

If Ryzom ever wants to get big, or have self-sustaining playerbase my opinion is that the following should be fixed. Most are speed enhancements serverside, but the most important is making the game secure. 1) Enhanced security for accounts and game communication The present model of having the same ...

Ryzom was... even with it's small imperfections a good idea that started going horribly wrong at some point. With hindsight it looks like after loonix and toysql just couldn't deliver - what happened to RAID? - The devs tried simple approaches to gain the dwindling playerbase back, making the game ...

Congrats yubo2 on getting almost the whole new CSR team answering you with their main chars! Letting the community know about the petition, especially on the forums where it's the most appropriate gets immediate edit removing the link by the GM who is accused on misconduct. O tempora, o mores... I ...

Almost as funny as this

Actually I don't care what it is, I only need to know how to avoid it. What's the point of having a fast connection when my route goes through several nodes (SEVEN of them!) of these guys, each giving me a pathetic 200 ms (or worse). Anyone else has this problem? And, even better, a solution ...
