What he meant by it being useless is what iAkira said. 99% of people's IP changes constantly. I'd also like to point out that all someone would have to do is get the IP of an Admin and use a proxy, then free stuff ftw. It's a good attempt, but it's very flawed.

Why don't you register MAC instead of IP?

yeah mac would be
or maybe dynamic dns lol

Well I guess I can change it to MAC o-o maybe tommrow.
anyways
@johnlth93 oops i guess it is Staff Mod please edit it :)
@Fraysa I answered to that question already.
@Shawn I guess that's a problem if admin cant protect his IP o-o

.... You do realize it's not THAT hard to get someones' IP right? Not to mention, if people live in the same area, i.e. city, they could eventually have the same IP that someone else had at one point o_0

This release is just too stupid, I'd rather not have this instead of taking risk and adding this. If you were bored, just do other better things instead of wasting time on this. Personally, I think this is retarded and useless. Nice try though.

Eh, I'm more comfortable with my GMs having only 1 GM character each. It avoids confusion among the players and its unnecessary.

MACs are even easier to change than IPs. (Google: TMAC V5 R3 / Technitium TMAC)

Btw, a proxy cannot fake an IP (Internet doesn't work that way), so IP is safer ... unless your ISP does DHCP and your IP changes constantly... But what are the chances that the next person to get your IP also plays your server? ;D

So mean today Alex. Need to blow some steam off or something o_o?

@Emily, I didn't know the details about that o_o

Well I have an idea, once you make someone IPGM in the SQL it'll be like that:
hisAccountName | hislastIPonThatAccount
So I can do that if lets say your IP changed, you need to log to your original account (the one that the admin use !setipgm command on him) and your ip on the SQL will update, cool huh ?

Why don't you just do it manually, so much hassle for something that's not worth the time.

Because as a GM you dont have access to the DB, and as an Admin I dont think you want to edit each GM IP once it changes.

Maybe you should try a similar method with MAC addresses.
