even if they have your account name it's not easy. Noobs like to talk big. Tell them you've screen shotted it and are submitting it as a bug report... and do just that.

Well, everybody knows everyone else's ingame name already, right? You just have to go the city and look at everybody's ingame name. If that were true, nobody would be playing SRO anymore. What's needed to access an account is not the iingame name, but rather the login name. Make sure your ingame name is not the same as your login name. At any rate, even with your login name, they still need your password. If you password is not easy to guess, you account is very safe.

Not true, although ever since forum revamping it's a lot better now. Highly believable source

Brute force attacks will not work so well if you're getting stopped every time for 10 minute intervals.
