[dev1083]Abolition of IP check system

[Zephir]

or better.

Like permit to register up to 3-5 pc on SE account...

And IP check not work from this PC, but only from computer that aren't in list.

OH...solved....in a very simple way^^

SE NEVER publicize this feature when talk about the game XD

There are 2 ways they can implement this:

1. you put your ip address in to SE account manager, however people dont usually know thier IP address, even if they know about ipconfig that only gives your local IP address, if you are using NAT (which you will) then its alot harder to get your external IP because users dont need to know it.

2. the first x amount of PCs are regestered to use, the problem with this is if you havent use the entire alotment of PCs then the system is useless, and it might as well be scrapped.

Also it was either in patch notes or one of Yoshi-P's letters when it was implemented, if you dont read those then you wont of heard it, there has been no reason to publicize it to the world, just where it matters.

1) agree

2) Like ps3 for content downloaded from psn or mp3 buyed from iTunes, a person can remove a PC from the System.

Obviously the "recognize system" must be protected. (with IP check system maybe)

But i think that in this way issue was solved and anyone can log from friend's PC (with FFXIV), from laptop when outside (train, airport, home, in a personal store where you work, ecc).


Obviously i think that people register only PC that can be considered "SAFE", and not a internet cafe's PC XD

In this way if we have a keylogger, like the IP system, the hacker can't use our accout.

A sort of MAC protection in FFXIV, where we can choose the PC that are entrusted
