Ah damn my chronicles account may have been compromisedwhat a shame. RiP luck 7 monk.
only if you played Mir Ascendancy and used the same id and password there as on Chronicles
Cant remember if I played it. Probably did and not sure what credentials I used - sometimes on the off chance I change but definitely used the same id and pw on multiple servers.

Haha, and I know thats not plagarism, I stopped the public svn ages ago, and ive not really looked at your code to much extent. I think I had to port the image reading from your code, and not having looked ive already worked out how to get the map to render quicker just cba to code it in, rendering each frame i gather is not the best way though.
It'd be harder if the passwords were encrypted.
It's not impossible to crack encryption's but if they don't have access directly to the source and/or can't read the the password as un-encrypted strings there'll be less children taking such action again.
But that likely won't happen :P
Another way to authenticate would lower the risk, say putting a lock on deleting characters and entering the game it's self without a pin that was defined by the user upon registration or at some other point for example, that pin could be optional for the user, their choice again.
But yeah, best way to prevent this is to use different ID's and/or passwords for any server you play, hell it's not much of a problem using randomly generated strings for user/pass on Crystal files as you have the option to auto login..
