    If you're talking about the email that disables your account until you change your password, yes. That safety alert triggers automatically each time you login from a new IP address (which might happen without you even doing anything if your Internet provider doesn't offer you a static IP).

    The only way to stop it is to add a security token to your account (either physical device for a low cost or the free smartphone apps for iOS and Android). Once added you generate a 6 digit number with it each time you want to login and that disables the IP/suspicious activity check.

    Also adding a security token gives you a free teleport location in game (that you can change as often as you want).

    I actually have one of the original tokens from FFXI (got one of the first ten released via a contest on ZAM.) It still works!

    Anyways, unless you're blatantly telehacking you'll probably get contacted by a GM before they take action. If that doesn't happen, well, contact support when/if you run into trouble. I would not recommend contacting SE support beforehand as they do not have the greatest reputation for... consistency nor competence, and it may create more problems than it solves.

    If you really want to speak to a GM, just put in a call from the in game support menu and wait.
    You did see me on Balmung; I forked over the $18 to transfer one of the Xiv Fashion clones there over the weekend. I'm probably also going to move one to Gilgamesh and Exalibur since those are locked even at 6AM EST.

    The reason for this exercise is that I'm offering a featured photoshoot as one of the prizes for my 1000 follower contest on my blog, but then I realized with the patch coming up and certain servers already overflowing, I wouldn't be able to make new characters "on demand" so to speak.

    They don't disable your account if you move between those IP addresses often.

    I used to get locked every time I would visit a friends house or my parents but since I've done it so many times now I don't get locked out when I'm logging in from those places.
