When changing mail to an account a confirmation mail should be send to you mail with a link so only when you click that link your mail will be switched.
I think this would be a great update that will reduce hacking to almost 0. What do you think?

What about that, or you have an option of entering 5 questions only the person would know. I've seen it in another game. Normally to retrieve a password, but to same effect. Either click the link, or answer 5 questions, you have to get 4/5 right.... then you get to enter a new email address without confirmation, except at your new email

I said 4/5 incase you forget one
you can still get your email changed....and you can still have security

even having the 4/5 would make it quite secure... since then only the owner could really change it... the place to store such would be for example on your computer... or on a piece of paper... the latter would make it very hard for hackers to change email on account...

the only problem i see with doing the E-mail change confirmation is if someone sells their account and then once the Payment clears presses the no button and reclaims the account.
