What is this all about? I have been logging in from the same computer since I started playing this game, why am I getting this error?

    There is another thread on this. One issue may be if you do not have a static IP. You may want to check this first to determine if this is the issue or something else.

    It's definitely static, I have a cable modem and they typically don't ever change.

    I also have a cable modem and I have a dynamic ISP

    For example: Time Warner Cable uses dynamic isp and they are a rather large cable/internet provider.

    Never heard of that before in my area, everything around here is static as far as I know but I will double check.

    @Azalin76‌ While it is true most cable modems are technically static, if you've had a power outage in your area or reset your modem it is possible for the IP to change. More so for the former than the latter; resetting won't normally change it except in the rarest cases.

    That said, I do not think it is wholly based on IP. If I change my PC's name for example it asks me to re-verify. (I change my laptops name frequently, not so much my desktop) I also recently changed out my RAM and it asked me to re-verify... So, that leads me to believe that multiple factors are checked and verified when the game starts.

    I actually have gotten this error since I first began playing. I always have to check my email and type in the code to play the game.
    dip me in the blood of mortals and throw me to the Dremora
