Our account management system went live yesterday with great success
As expected, there were also things that needed fixing and tweaking. Here's what has changed since yesterday:
Registering a master account by email will now immediately open up character management with your new account so that you don't accidentally leave the registration menu and register another account using a different log-in method and get your accounts mixed up
Added an email confirmation input field to the registration view
You'll no longer automatically be logged into a newly created character if you create the character from the game scene whilst already logged into a character
You can no longer switch to a recently created character whilst already logged into another character. When logging onto a character for the first time, it needs to happen from the main menu
Resetting your password in the main menu now initiates password recovery for legacy accounts as well
Added a "Forgot password?" button to the legacy character import panel
Accounts on very old save files (accounts that have not logged on in years) wouldn't be correctly picked up by the name checker during character registration, meaning that the name checker could incorrectly tell you that a username is available when it was in fact taken
Accounts that hadn't been accessed since game modes were a thing (late 2023) could be imported to a master account but wouldn't be visible in the character management view, as the system failed to assign them a game mode. Fixed
Guest accounts can no longer import characters until they secure their account with a log-in method
Fixed a niche character state issue causing a few users unable to properly access their character management
