We have a few updates on open testing, the most significant change being with Guest accounts.
Guest accounts are turned OFF. We had to make this change due to a possible exploit, and Guest accounts will not be allowed to login to the game. The Guest accounts can be registered via the normal in game steps.
- We know that some people prefer the anonymity of a Guest account (no chat, no trade spam etc), but unfortunately that system was too open to exploits and griefing.
- As a registered player there are still options for you to turn off Chat, turn off trades, turn off chat bubbles, and other ways to customize your experience.
Also,
when an account is registered with a legit email, the email verification will require a successful CAPTCHA test to be completed in order to play the game. Currently you'll only have to do this once to register your account. For the time being, if you have previously registered you will NOT have to go through any additional verification.
These are the only player facing changes in the build. Thanks for your help.
