But Guild Wars 2 doesn't do a great job of explaining what an overflow server is - you tend to just find yourself on one.
Guild Wars 2 shunts you to overflow servers while you wait to log in to your home server. There are some 'keeping your account safe' tips and a 'how-to-do email authentication' FAQ on the Guild Wars 2 website. Email authentication asks you, via email, to verify a log-in attempt that comes from a different-to-normal location. There's been an "uptick" of reported activity, and ArenaNet's doing a couple of things about it: temporarily disabling the 'reset password' option, and rolling out email authentication from today. "We believe hackers are using databases of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and web sites, and pre-existing trojan horses, to search for matching Guild Wars 2 accounts which they attempt to compromise," wrote Mike O'Brien, who's a programmer by trade.
The discussion does talk about a few things that were patched up with last night’s routine maintenance so don’t choke on your cornflakes if anything worries you too much.įirst: security - people trying to steal accounts.
