    Everyone out there should change your password often. Evony is probably more vulnerable to this than they would officially admit to.

    Given how poorly the game is programmed and the poorly-considered game change rollouts like the 10% attack rule, does anyone here think that the security on the password database is any better?

    This whole episode left me shaking my head, yet again.

    sound's like your host possibly compromised his own security by sharing his p/w, more than likely to have others keep tabs on it while he was gone. sounds like a breach in the terms of service?

    also, comments like "poorly programmed" are unconstructive and unbased, and a very "half-empty-cup" point of view! if you are so informed/educated on proper coding and programming, maybe you should offer your help to fix some of evony's persistent problems!!
