Dear players,
we are once again seeing a massive increase in account thefts.
In many of the cases, the players themselves were very careless and did not take minimum steps to ensure their own account's safety.
Once again, we'd like to remind you: scripts and addons may "enhance" your game experience and seem convenient, but unless you wrote them yourself, you can never be sure, what they do. The same goes for any 3rd party services and websites claiming to give you an edge over others by doing this and that for you.
NEVER:
- share your login data with anyone
- re-use login data anywhere else
- provide your Ikariam login data on any script, addon, website that "enhances your gameplay" or similar
Furthermore, please be advised, that we do NOT support "account exchanges gone bad". If you create an account exchange code and give that away, for all intents and purposes, you gave that account away. We do not "return" the account because you and the "thief" agreed on him doing something for you and returning the account and then deciding to actually keep it. That's on YOU.
Take account security seriously. The lobby provides the option to add 2FA as an additional layer of security, use it.
Use secure passwords and do not use the same set of login data anywhere else. If an account is stolen and moved from your lobby to another and its name is changed, the only way of positive account ownership verification is to provide payment transaction IDs of previous payments. You can do your part, to ensure your account is safe and sound and only yours. Do it!
Your Ikariam Team
