Hello,

since your passwords are stored in a hashed manner + your username, it can be said that it is impossible to steal your password . This ... however made changing names (see the previous post) not as easy.

That's why everyone who requested a name change (and got it) should go to http://dracoblue.net/profile/newpassword/ and request a new password. This is very easy, as you just need to enter your email address, click the link in the email and figure a new password.

Of course you may also use that feature, if you forgot your password .

  Draco

Hello,

it's been a while since changing names worked in gtat. I took some time to make it working again.

If you want to change your username (it still costs a gtat coin!!), because we do not want random user name changes all the time. Please post a ticket if you want to change your username.

Also I made some changes on the process, how one can remove his/her account:

Hello,

Another amazing year is over and this means another birthday for GTA:T.

So many players brought our server to it's limits, so many script updates (by me and elyks!) made the server even better again, and still: after 7 years, you keep playing this game. It's outstanding.

So enough of the words for today. Let's play.

We have one special gift for you: FREE GOLD MEMBER for 2 Weeks for everyone, who has an account and joins within the next two weeks, will get a GOLD member status, without any donation at all.

Awards and the common Stats will be released tomorrow. Also houses will be available by tomorrow, too. We will have lots of new features this season. One big change is, that the gang money got removed.

We wanted to start GTA:T with a working anticheat today, but it isn't finished yet. That's why all unban requests of long-time banned players are declined until the new anti cheat launches. Stay tuned. All PMs about that topic will be ignored.

I and Elyks want to say thank you for this amazing Season, looking forward to the next one!

Edit:
It seems like free goldmembership doesnt work for former silver- or goldmembers. That bug will be fixed tomorrow.
