no need for complete username?

I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature, but.. there is no need for a complete username for logging into the game - just a correct first letter is enough (non case sensitive). e-mail and pass need to be correct. is that intentional so that people who have weird usernames with special characters can have easier access? :P

Already reported several times, so I guess nothing will be done about it. It's not like it's any kind of threat to security or anything...

I think this has been around from the start.....makes logging in easy :P

If someone can find out your email and password, I'm sure they'll have already got your username :lol:

Well its not really a threat is it, as your login name is the same as your ingame name, so if someone wanted your account they already know the login name,

What would make more sense, and ive seen it on some other games, your login name is seperate from you ingame name, thus no one could technically get into your account, unless you gave them the details.
Deep within Noob Cave, you find a strange pool filled with a glowing blue liquid. You think back to what your mother told you about unfamiliar liquids found in caves.

You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"

Not a bug, but a "feature". Your username should be the last thing your concerned about... :lol:
