Since the other thread seems dead - here's my thoughts!

I said I was leaving the forum for a while - but I absolutely hate this addition to the login process!!!

Ever since the game began, people have been asking for the email part of the login process to be removed - other online games don't have it - why does this one?

But no, instead of that, some bright spark comes up with the idea of adding yet another part to it!!!! I'm sorry, but this is extracting the urine!

No other online game I play has email/code in their logins - why this one?

Additionally - I got a new mobile the other day with interent capability and, since I was sat in a traffic jam I logged into TGW to check my account (before this code was added) - I noticed that when I went to bank naq - the code i needed to input was not visible - therefore I couldn't bank. Guess what now? Yep - the code is not visible on login - therefore I cannot even login using my phone. I assume other people who use their mobile to login are suffering the same problem. (after reading back through this thread I can see that other people do have this problem).

People are so paranoid about scripts etc - when there is very little proof anyone is using them!

What next? Codes for doing absolutely anything in the game? Give me a break!!

I am not usually this blunt but - CRAP IDEA and CRAP EXECUTION.

WHY IS IT NEEDED? Why wasn't the banking code enough? What is it meant to stop?

I'm going to put a digital lock on the door to my study - so that when I go in to use my PC and play TGW I have to input a code to get into the room.

You have best be joking.

The forces of SGC_Sam Fisher subdued those of JUAN.
The armies of JUAN were forced out of the realm of SGC_Sam Fisher in a none to glorious fashion! The defending forces were simply too much for them. It is sure that SGC_Sam Fisher will be considering a return visit to JUAN!

Aaaaaawwwwwww Yeeeeaaahhhhh!

In a way, it has a few Pros...but they are outnumbered by the Cons...

Ok, it may stop players from using scripts to automatically log in, but it's already annoying enough to type in your Username/E-mail/Password.. and it's even more annoying if you mistype one and have to start all over again.

But I can deal with that, but adding the code in maybe a little too much.

Also, in my opinion, it's completely pointless.. anyone who can make scripts can just make a script to make sure they refresh their page or whatever every 15-20mins, to avoid being logged out.


Sorry Forum, but I dont like this idea :(



Oh and advice to other players - try to avoid logging in when a turn is passing...I just filled in all my login details, entered the code..and ingame the turn passed, meaning the code changed and the code that I just typed is now incorrect. That was annoying too.

Wow, don't hold back. ha!

I do agree. Very silly and its going to cause alot of people to throw in the proverbial towel.

It's not a matter of luck; it's just a matter of time.

Based on your brilliant idea Wolf I have installed a digital lock on all the restrooms in my house and at work. This will prevent cheaters from getting in there ahead of me. :twisted:

This pin is a joke to get around for scripters. I am a horrid scripter and I could get around it with a fix in 30 seconds.

but atleast it will stop alot of cheaters


It will stop a lot more innocent players actually. :(

I log on when Im at my work on my sony ericcson W800i, for some reason it wont show the code boxes and therefore I cannot log on during the day. Its alright for all you guys using firefox and IE but I use opera mini on my mobile phone and this was not even expected.

If this update stays then a lot of good players will just lose interest.

I have always accepted updates and never critisised them before, I am sure Forum means well with the code thing and will review it accordingly when more people disapprove.
