Due to excessive account sharing, and issues that have arisen because of that I have had to change it so that 2-Factor Authentication has gone from being a recommendation to being a requirement.
To learn what 2FA/2-Factor Auth is you can read it here: What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)? - Authy
This has been done for the following reasons:
Once we release source code, we may look at adding 2FA requirements and device whitelisting to Dragon's Prophet and possibly Dragon Saga.

This has been done for the following reasons:
- Players who have shared accounts get banned because we ban all accounts banned users have access to. This also bans all accounts they try to bypass the server on.
- Players have their accounts wiped or equipment/shards/diamonds stolen either due to trusting the wrong person, or retaliation for a falling out.
- Players sharing accounts and being flagged for multiple accounts by someone who tries to bypass account restrictions; depending on the number of accounts it is easier to ban all accounts and deal with individual tickets later.
- Rare instances of players who have had accounts actually hacked; this has been extremely rare and is a case by case basis of users sharing passwords from past servers or re-using passwords.
- I have also enabled HaveIBeenPwned and a few other services for checking for compromised accounts, so some people may start getting alerts about this.
