*sorry, couldn't post it on GD section*

so i was thinking of a way to prevent account hacking or making them more safe and i came up with this,i dunno if it can really work but its just an idea
IP limitation system..like the email verification system..its an optional system.
its based on limiting the ips' working per account..that your account couldn't log in from any public ip..only it can log in from your ip
it should go like this:

1-you go to JM website and log in and choose manage account
2-choose ip verification(limitation) system
3-press something like (attach my ip)
4-the website read your ip and attach(belong) it to your account
5-then you can only login from that specific ip address and no one can log in to your account (only in game not on website too,so if you had problem and wanna change the your connection then you'll have no problem with it) from any other address

of course some people will have to change the ip for some reason,i guess it can be easy too

1-Same as the previous
2-Same as the previous
3-press something like (change my entered ip)
4-it will send an email with a code to your verified email
5-you take the code and enter it
6-it'll ask you for your secret answer
6-then it'll take time to read the existing ip to compare with the older one
OR
6-you can write the ip that already entered before
7-now pop-up a windows that asks if you want to enter the new ip address manually OR if it want to check the ip and enter it automatically

Hope you like it,of course should add any other ideas to improve it..then if all went well i hope we spam JM with it ^^

anyway i'm just a beginner so if you want to flame or act smart on me here you go !!! but I'll be ignoring them
EDIT:Added a poll

yeah... apparently you never heard of dynamic ip?
trying to use ip to lock a user to accounts wont ever work, even without proxies, isps change ip monthly

I don't really like the idea. At least it needs some improvement

But what does it really matter ? not trying to sound rude but why do you think joymax would implant it ?

dunno i thought it'd be a lot safer, even if someone hacked you he won't be able to log in with your account..or hackers can pass this ?

Yes, "hackers" can bypass this easily.

it was only a thought so i guess np ^^
anyway thanks for letting me know..guess mods should lock or delete this thread now

Not a bad idea in theory, but in practice more difficult to execute. No worries.
