Security announcement
by Mango » Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:28 pm
We have been having some annoying bots again lately. There was one just yet who sent private messages to a whole bunch of players with a suspicious link in it, subject "Hello friend!". I have banned the user and deleted the messages, but there might be more. Please be sensible about what kind of stuff you click, especially from users you do not know.

Though I fail yet to see what is the purpose for such actions, namely, bot registration and bot messages on a forum.
This can`t be Phishing.
Maybe you can mass message or make a post in-game as well regarding self-security against phishing for TLK accounts

This explains why I got an email saying there was a PM for me while I haven't been active for more than 3 years

Start spamming people like this, so they come back and play. Maybe playerbase will increase again!
