Here's something I discovered and it is CRITICAL for each of you to pay attention to this and take appropriate action if needed!


In case of Aion you have TWO passwords:

- A password to log into the game
- A password to log into your Master Account.


If you didn't have a master account before buying Aion (like me) or if you linked Aion info to your Master account when there was the need to update your passwords (some time during beta), THOSE TWO PASSWORDS WILL BE THE SAME. Maybe in some other situations as well

You do NOT want this. Here's why:

If you log into Aion and they somehow intercept your username and password (be it through a keylogger or packet interception, etc.) they can log into Aion... but if the password for Aion is the same as for your Master Account, then they ALSO have access to your master account as well with the same information and can thus log in there and modify your password, blocking your access to everything (including guildwars if you have it).

However, if your Master Account password is different, they could log into your Aion, but won't be able to modify the password because they don't have the info to log into your Master Account. You can then go there yourself (be safe however, really careful that you don't have a keylogger or something, do it from work if you can, or some other computer) and reset the AION password. That means once they log off they can't log back in (may take a while for bots though) and you have your access back.


If they happen to have a backdoor into the registration database on the authentication server then this won't help you much, but it is a step extra which may keep you safe. Then, also log into your Master Account as little as possible to prevent that that main password slips.


Finally, how to make sure your passwords are different:

- Log into your Master Account (I myself do it via the NCSoft store usually, https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/Store.pl )
- Click "Log in" in the top.
- On the right you see the link to the games you own, like Aion. Do NOT click there! Instead, in that same list, click "Account Profile"
- On the next window, somewhere in the top you can see a link "Change NCSOFT password". That is the MASTER ACCOUNT password.
- Change it to something you want to use to log into your master account with.
- When the password has been changed you return to the NCSoft account management page.
- On the right you see again the link to the games you own and NOW you click on the one with the Aion icon.
- The next page looks fairly similar, once again you see a box on top but this time it reads "Change password" (different from the previous one)
- This is where you type the password you want to use to log into Aion itself.

So, of course (logging into the game far more often than into your master account) it's much more likely that your game password gets intercepted than your main password... better make damn sure they are different! ;)

Good luck and let's hope that there's no more of these hack cases amongst us.

The website has been under an upgrade, which has improved looks and features. The Events calendar will be used frequently over time from now, so be sure to keep track. You can sign up for events if you click it.

As we all know scams and bots have become a huge part of Aion these days. We know NCSoft is doing their best at fighting this, but we can see why they just can't keep up with all the hacking, spamming, scamming and so on.

So we advice all of you to keep your logins and passwords safe at all times, don’t have it written down anywhere or give it to mates, and have an updated antivirus etc.

We do not want the Aion community to shrink because of this and we in Tranquility do not want to lose more members like this, even though we got back Wiggy and Kimiko, they lost quite a few items, and that can make some people very unmotivated to play the game, so stay safe people

We have increased our size of active players over the past weeks, but we still need some more for full raids and sieges, so if you are interested to join a casual legion with very friendly players, please send us an application. The current level requirement is 10+.

this isnt something i plan to do on regular basis but this is just to awsome to not newspost

After alot of hate, it bugging out, deaths, disease and more random loss of pie good-ness we finnaly managed to kill andre :D
we got a call it was up from one of us, started forming a raid and the result was inevitable


and staff stats
one down a few to go :)

Atleast i am well a bit more on schedual this time around. While we were meeting i took a few shots here and there of us

 
pretty much scattered all over but i like it ^_^

the topics we talked about were well handled fast but a small summary is in order either way

- Ventrillo
as some of ya noticed ventrillo got taken down cause the guy hosting it had some troubles and well had to take it down cause of them. Good thing we are we tho, cause whitin 5 minutes of it being mentioned we have a new vent up (i think) provided by our lovely slacking saucerer kaboom. I wanted to ask him for details already but well as ya all know the servers werent up yesterday night so will do that tonight

- Activity
I think everyone noticed the invite spam i have been busy lately to improve activity in our ranks and recruit some more people. Which have been paying off very well (as seen by the activity spikes during prime time and even in offtime). Having said that we are still very VERY heavily recruiting. Our focus is starting to move agian into the higher levels (30/40+) but we will still accept of 25+ for now.

There is an exception tho (which pretty much only goes for our legion >_<) we have stopped accepting templars under 40 all together as we have alot of them now.

- Bots
I think this is is one of the biggest reasons we have lost quite a few members after the first month but there is light at the end of the tunnel (thank god). One of the industries big weights got hired to go and lead the team to hunt those -.-ers down. But to try and help them a bit we are compiling a list of bots. The ending date for submissions for the list is coming sunday (not sure of the date :>).
the format is:

Name / Class / Legion / Date ya seen the person/bot bot.

we have added date to make it a bit easier to track them down in the logs.

- Sieges / abyss

We have finnaly decided to start moving in force at the sieges (about time ehh :P) the bulk of us are starting to hit the mid/high 30s and low 40s. Which is enough for the lower abyss forts, to help facilitate this we will also start mass producing siege weaponry. To accomplish this we need a few pieces of each crafter over 299 rank and focus it on one char for the final craft (299 assemble siegeweapon which i can and will do).

The abyss is well ganky as is, we all know it but its needed. All balaur drop certain balic materials which we need for the 30/40 and 50 ballic armor's and if you can miss them mail them to one of the officers so they can add them into the legion warehouse.

and that is it! (i has rainbow fire ^_^)
