Doesn't seem to be any content in your link.

[checkyotrack 4,607]

Dunno if page isn't loading correctly but I'm not seeing anything.

[EDM 1,055]

Perhaps it's just a note that the the webpage will be updated and the store too. Updates are only tuesdays and fridays so I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't new contents updated. Thanks for the note none the less and thank you for the hard work ever since kickstarter!

Yeah, but they do a update from the founders thingy on Wednesdays sometimes...

 

I think Pann is trolling us.

Looks like the URL was wrong and this is the correct one. 

 

I've updated the original post with the correct link.

I went to crowfall.com and clicked the link there and it worked.  

 

Great update and glad to see that the website is going to be getting an upgrade.  I also like the mention of name reservations.  That'd be very nice.

Its 'cause of y'all.  You guys are the reason we can't have nice things!

[checkyotrack 4,607]

We can't change our username? I wonder who ruined that for everyone else.

I don't like your accusatory tone, mal.

Pann's link is broken but the post is up- you can get there via the News link on the main site.

The link should be working now.

awesome news!

 

Edit

Why "Two factor authentication" have an underscore and bold?

 

My personal suggestion and another fellow forum member suggestion was a common thing that any big campaign should do is

"Two factor authentication" for their site login  and game client login as well, so it will increase protection for your backed account from being spoofed by attackers and change your personal information to theirs as it can be claimed as their own. (now we don't need to worry about it as we see ACE implement two factor authentication for website and game).

 

1) click here to read my suggestion for 2nd factor authentication and converting md5 to sha-2 or sha-512 password protection. (either of them is amazing!)

2) Another crowfall fellow did suggested same thing about two factor authentication. click here.

 

So I personally can backup the facts that the development team do read suggestion box where it can lead to an improvement for crowfall, server, user protection or website improvement and I do appreciate the development team (Web dev and Game dev) efforts and hard work!

Excuse us for testing web features. Whoever dupes and reports it is going to be a way better tester than the one who dupes it and says nothing.

 

Since ForumFall is the only game, we're like awesome testers.
