Stress test 2

[EvR 0]

Hey whats up guys! I am New to the Elysium server. I did play on Nostalrius for a little while however.

Anyway, Yesterday i checked out the stress test and i made a little video about all the epic world PvP. 

I am extremely hyped to no-life on this server haha. I got however one question.

What happens if accounts on Elysium get Hacked? Will they restore your character and everything?

(Since there is no authenticator i mean) 

 

if you're interested in the video i made, 

please take a look.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K8zjD59V8k 

and hopefully see you in Azeroth very soon!

 

Take care!

I can almost 100% guarantee you they won't do a thing other than Ban the hacked account.

 

This is because, and I quote "Security of account is player responsibility".

 

So have a good PW, don't go to some dodgy sites, don't click strange links AND DO NOT under any circumstances respond to "ElyziumGMstaff: Hello, you are going to be banned for exploiting. Log in <InsertShitChinaAddressHere> to veryfy that this is you playing!"

Account security is the responsibility of the player. Since we have no method of strong identity verification, as that requires a credit card, we can only hope that the player themselves take good care of their account security.

Some tips:

1. Use a unique account name and password combination, not the same one you've used at other private servers. At least change the password.

2. Don't download add-ons from sketchy websites.

3. Do not share your account details with anyone - even a guild mate or a friend: "Just a prank bro, I sold your stuff, tell them you got hacked, they'll restore everything" <- no we won't.

4. Elysium staff will NEVER ask for your password. If a GM needs to contact you for whatever reason, they will do so by whisper and you will see the GM tag in front of their name.

5. If you download a hacking tool, expect to get a keylogger with it.

6. Regularly run antivirus and malware scanners and keep them updated.

WoW accounts do not really get hacked - actual hacking is extremely rare. Usually what happens is that a database from a private server is sold or leaked and then malicious people use the account name & password combinations at every other private server. Or a guy makes a doctored Youtube video showing a method of hacking without getting caught and links to his cool new toy, that actually is just a keylogger, or, if you're really lucky, also mails your gold to them.

TL;DR version: Don't be a potato and you won't get hacked. Enjoy.
