Website age verification every single time!

Requiemslove · April 2015

Hi, so I understand there is a need due to this mmos age rating for precautions, but every single time having to enter your DOB details? Why is once a day not enough, or even once every 3-4 hours or whatever? Instead its "oh you closed the website and then opened it up again five minutes later from the very same computer with the very same ip, how do I being the website know you are the same person?" Seriously, why such paranoia?

Strange, I do not get that issue, rarely does it ask me to login again, if you got cookies enabled then it should not be an issue.

I am not on about login in, I am on about when you start up the site from the client. Every time without fail the DOB check comes up. As for my cookies...well as far as I know I should have no issue with them.

Ooooh, well that is interesting, that should not happen at all, if you are going in from the game launcher, very strange.

I can understand sometimes it asking for dob check going in from browser.

I will ponder this matter and get back to you, I can understand your irritation though, I would feel the same, thinking whhhhhyyyyy hehe

Opinions are a wonderful thing to have. Otherwise the defecation would collect and build up inside of people and they'd ultimately explode, making a horrible mess.
