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.

yeah, with the way the internet is at the current moment, i'd worry that this game would get more popular again (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and since a lot of people view it as a "furry" game (i've heard multiple people refer to it as this whether or not it was the original intention) and it would draw attention of people who would wish to harass those who play. i think having some form of 2FA would at least protect a bit from trolls, spamming, raiding, etc

Can't do anything animal these days without  it being "furry".  ::)

i joined this game waaayy back in 2011 and i remember it being super active. i was a part of a lot of rp groups back then and it's honestly cool to see that this game is still up even if it isn't as active anymore. i'd love to see it grow again, though. something about those days were just so special.
