Hello everyone and welcome to my art gallery. I will be periodically posting art of my characters here. Pieces that I commissioned will be labeled as such, all others were drawn by me.

Game Discussion / Re: I Wish I Had Joined Earlier
« on: March 12, 2023, 04:17:12 pm »Honestly at this point, I don't even think we'd need to worry about hackers anymore. It's been 8(?) years and I'm pretty sure they'll be long gone. I'm sure there would be other easier ways to deal with hackers?
Hackers don't just hack something and leave. Their goals are to steal as much personal data as possible and cause as much chaos as they can. No game or website can let down their guard these days. Places that do let down their guard end up having more and more security breaches. And for a game that is already experiencing a dry season as far as player activity, another hack would be even more destructive. When it comes to player safety and security, there cannot be compromise. Not everything the community wants is safe and secure enough. And if something gets hacked, who would be held responsible for not securing things properly? That's right. Raz and the FH staff would be liable for it if proper security had not been in place.
Technically, the login page is FeralHeart's form of 2FA (2-factor authentication). And a lot of games and websites are using similar methods these days. Perhaps the 2FA method used by FH could be changed to a different method, but it probably isn't going to be removed entirely.

My two cents anyway.
Removing the login page would certainly make things more user friendly, however there are currently 2 issues that prevent that from happening. The first issue is hackers exploiting bugs in the game. That should be something that can be resolved. However, the second issue is lack of funding. If you look closely at the current website design, you will notice that most of the ads are on not just the homepage, but the login page as well. Which makes sense because most of the traffic would be on those 2 pages. And since the login page must remain open while playing, it seems logical that that particular page is probably the main source of income for the game rn. The forum gets little use these days and only has a few ads on it. And it was Kov's wish that the game remain 100% free, including no player donations. So it has to survive on ad money and staff donations. Without sufficient funds, there's no money to cover the costs of running it. Which is actually the bigger problem with the current state of the game. Lack of players means less funding from ads. And ad blockers are problematic too.
There are 2 solutions for funding issues. Increase revenue or cut expenses. But neither are simple.
