Noted, but not everything is just a 10 minute job with a global company. Like I said, I'll send this up the chain, and see what I can come up with. If I have any kind of update, I'll let you know. Thanks for bringing this up though - we do want to make all the things better.

The compromise would be to your forum account only, since game login and forums login are on separate database systems. I want to assure you though, we do have multiple strong-holds for keeping accounts from getting compromised, but we do understand that there is concern. Again, I'll push this information forward and see that we are sufficiently protecting our customers. As always though, and this is with anything that requires email/password login (that would be the entire internet), best practice is to change your passwords periodically, and to never keep them the same across the board. Meaning, you don't want any of your internet passwords to be the same password that you use with your online banking.

This RC4 issue had been going on for quite some time. So we're in this thread for January 2016, a continuation of this older thread from Dec 2015, and even earlier referenced in my older thread from Nov 24, 2015 and another prior to that on Nov 19, 2015. This issue was prevalant even before F2P as far back as July 2015 (and likely earlier threads I couldn't find). So finally after all this time we've done it! NO MORE RC4 WOHOOOOO! Oh dear. Whoever they have setting up the ciphers messed up something. Oh dear. >_< I'll make this very simple. The server settings for (login/forums/shop/ncoinpurchases) should look like this (wildstar support website). It is a small victory to finally deprecate RC4 (at the last minute before it renders most of your audience unable to visit your website and store). There is still work to be done to update it *properly* but humbled cupcake is humbled. Huge major thank you to all Carbine Staff (and NcSoft Staff) that were involved in getting this finally pushed out the door. It can't have been easy and I hope that NcSoft realizes that security is an ongoing thing and not a 'fire and forget' thing. It directly affects their bottom line if consumer confidence about security is inadequate/low. Let's hope the newly-accessible forums result in a notable upswing in player activity now. I'm happy and confident in easily recommending this game to my gaming friends and colleagues that would enjoy a good gaming challenge. Now that people can actually access the forums/account/website without needing a seperate portable browser, a whole new world has opened up for us! Rejoice! ^_^
