Considering more often thefts of resources, we spread our protection more, now it will work for all operations with items/gold/badges, that means if your account has a strange IP address, not common for it, the following features are blocked for 7 days:


1. Deleting 258-284 ilvl gear
2. Buying or selling anything using vendors or auction house, including items lower than 258 ilvl.
3. ALL items/gold trade/sending by mail/selling at auction is blocked.


To remove restriction №1(works since 2020), you need to either enter the game with the same IP during 7 days, or just enable 2FA.


To remove restriction №2 and №3 without waiting for 7 days, you need to type .menu in a game chat, proceed to "Actions with a character", click "Verify email", click "Accept" in a popup window, after that type your email address used on current account into "Please enter code" window, and click "Accept" with a MOUSE BUTTON, + we recommend to enable 2FA.

Step-by-step

1. Type .menu command, select "Actions with a character"

2. Select "Verify email"
https://i.ibb.co/KDKxHVg/verify.png


3. Read the information window and click "Accept"

4. When the last "Please enter code:" window appears, type in your email binded to current account.

5. If you've entered correct email, you will see "The verification is passed" message in chat, and 2 and 3 restrictions will be removed, but deleting/selling 258-284 ilvl gear will still be blocked.

All this protection from deleting/selling/trading items can be disabled, just open .menu => settings, and click "Disable IP verification".
For example we have some players who does not want to use 2fa and they enabled it only to delete items, now they can disable 2fa and still have an option to use items/currency without any restrictions.


This feature becomes visible if you meet one of two existing criteria:


1. You have been entering the game with the same IP during 7 days and have no item deleting block for 258-284 gear.
2. You have enabled 2fa for some period of time (7 days also).


Want to warn you that disabling protection = accepting any risk responsibility if we talk about getting access to your account by other players.
For example, if you lose any resources, gold, badges, etc. and you have disabled protection, neither you will get any help from techincal support, nor a thief will get banned, you will get an answer like: you disabled protection, sorry, but we can not help you.
We recommend to think twice before disabling this protection measures, because as we already told numerous times - we do not implement anything without purpose.


p.s if you disable the restrictions, at lease change you password every 3-5 months, and use unique email, not similar to your account login, this is recommended for all internet resources.
