Runes of Magic - Reset Secondary Password

I play a lot of games, this generally means I have a lot of passwords, and I've learned from mistakes; thankfully made by others; to use different passwords on different games.

One game however does seem to stress online security more than others, it provides an on screen touch keyboard to use with the mouse, as well as allowing keyboard entry, so potentially foiling key loggers, and this is Runes of Magic, it is the only game I've come across which supports a primary and secondary password system, whereby there are two layers to get into the accounts to play.

Recently I tried to retrieve my Runes of Magic account, I logged into the primary password, but for the life of me could not remember the second...

So, I used the options to reset that secondary password, and the site told me the password has been reset....

Think about that word... "reset", if it has a value, it is set to a different value, like you "reset an alarm clock", it had a time to go off, not it has a new time to go off, you didn't cancel it, you didn't wipe it, you reset it...

So when this site said it has reset the secondary password, I just assumed it'd be given a new valie - like the primary was - and I'd use that to log in and change that secondary password... Nope, the site just said "reset"...

But what had it been reset to?... So I contacted their support their answer... "it has been cleared"...

Cleared is not reset, reset indicates a value just like resetting the primary did, please please Runes of Magic people sort this out.

To the confused public, when they reset the secondary password, they just clear it!

World of Tanks - Grinding to the T34

I've reinstalled the machine with Windows 7, and sure enough all the networking problems I was having have gone away, but I'm pleasantly surprised with how spritley the machine now is.

Vista must have been really really in efficient, for example, running World of Tanks, I would run her only in medium to low settings to get 20 fps...

With no changes of hardware, just an update to Windows 7, and I'm now in 1680x1440 resolution, high settings for everything and I get 50-55fps.

Its so pretty....

That was the main victory of the evening, which I spent enjoying with lots of rounds of World of Tanks.

My first discovery was something I had spotted before, but I think will take the next patch to explain, you see you now get missions in the game.  Or at least the rewards for the mission, but you don't have any way of knowing what the missions you have are.  They maybe listed somewhere, but no-where I've spotted in game.

In patch 8.8 however, which is coming soon, WarGaming are adding a way to spot what the missions are.

The night however, as enjoyable as it was, did result in a spectacular number of Defeats for me, despite my best efforts.

Sometimes I was simply out played, sometimes I was clearly stuck into odd matches, and I was spending a lot of games in my T-80 Light tank - an odd machine, grinding the XP for my T34.

But my efforts were not helped with derps like this

Or grease balls like this, whom I spotted on numerous occasions sat in strange locations usually at the back of the pack waiting to pick off enemy targets which the rest of the team - whom are lower tier - have softened up for them... Basically reaper creepers, that's the term I'm going to invent for them.

I did get my T34 before ceasing playing for the evening, and I even unlocked the high-pen gun, but I'm not happy with the vehicle, its match making is pretty terrible.

And I'm also stuck with the news that my favourite tank - with my most trained crew - the VK30.01H is about to be turned from a tier 6 medium into a tier 5 heavy?  Go figure, Jingles has made comment about this, but... Argh, I just want to smack WarGaming.

It might be time for a break and return to war thunder, in which I have also been playing recently, and made a level with my Japanese aircraft.

Also still enjoying Elite Frontier...
