We do not tolerate account hijacking for any reason. If you see ANYONE in game asking for email and password, please take a screenshot and let me us know at support at spacetimestudios dot com and they will be banned without exception.
Spacetime Studios will in no way ask you for your password (if we need access to your account, we can just reset it internally).

Cascade, I wouldn't be so sure. With the platforms this runs on, I suspect there are some very young kids playing as well as adults who have had little exposure to the vile beast that can be found in an MMO crowd.

But don't you think it's a tiny bit humorous that you post in the thread labeled Do not give out your account email and password! and in the 1st sentence of your post you say "so i gave him my password". I really do hope that it all gets sorted out but it just seemed to me a little funny. Good Luck and let me know if I can help.

Dont you think thats a bit drastic Twink? :o! Anyways, gunnderak, seriously why did you do that in the first place? Just level up normally and enjoy the features of the game as you go along ;D It isn't too hard to get one account to lvl 45, 45 - 50 however... hmm ;D im getting there :D

Hi guys, there's a scammer/hacker amongest us his onscreen name is Veoraran; a lev 20 player. Supposedly has a lev 50 player by the name; and get this Lordmoke. Approached me when i was playing with my low level farmer (Fathom). His catch line "r u trustworthy". "Can i put my void set and 120,000 in ur stash". Thought this was a player who just hadn't had a chance to accumulate a stash large enough to store his items yet. But when he began to inquiry about my acct info and password red flags went up; so I informed him, you can't do this the game won't let you that, when he said all you have to do is give it to me. At that point I report this individual and informed all other players to be on the look out for him. Didn't know where else to post this, but here. Don't how long it takes the Devs. to act but thought I'd better get it out here for all players especially new players that might not know this.
High level players are:

Archerblue 52
Bblink 52

He begged me to lvl him to 50 so he told me his email and password and I lvled him up. The next day I was banned when he was 50 yesterday! Any reason?? Assomers, I know that you will not un-ban me... By the way his account name is Sharptip... :( I'm sad, the dev team hates me when I play PL... expecially Justg when I wanted to know some questions about Blackstar but at least Asommers replied to me. :)

This is happening all threw the game, the other night one player kept posting will buy a under lvl 10 account 200k... i posted in main this is agains pl rules and that even asking could get this person banned, i explained banned is done via devise not just account, the player stopped posting, each time i changed charecters and re entered the room they where re advertising. It seems many players who are young are giving out their account info for reasons such as....
1) somone twlling them they will buy them plat
2) i can help you respec your account to make you stronger....
3) i can help you set up skills for combos i usually charge 800k but i like you ill do it for free....
4) let me take your account to a higher lvl i can farm for you and get you free gold and items.....
All followed by i just need your account and password.....

Granted this is a game, for you Kids and adults out there, an account that is shared, can often lead to someone taking over your email accounts and then exploiting other systems( facebook, utilities, banks acct...etc) that might happen email your account

Well said Rusalio! As a fellow infosec guy (I presume we are both (ISC)2 members?

Humans are the last line of defense, and the most intelligent security countermeasure in existence! Education is the key. Current events make a great conversation starter - e.g. the Hackerazzi thing in the news now. I can't believe celebrities these days would use such weak passwords or challenge questions - but thanks to them I have material for my next bulletin!! :D

Hello,
I was playing pocket legends and heard a possible (or definite) scam. Someone named Spacetimeon (sounds official) said to get free platinum, go to this website www.pocketlegends.yolasite.com
Of course I checked it out, because they made it sound official. I went to the website and it says pocket legends free platinum, has Gameforge and Gameloft symbols pasted with no trademarks. It does not say Spacetime anywhere. It asks how much platinum you want 100, 300, or 600. Then it asks for your email and password. And nothing else. I just checked again and it changed. The logos are gone and the font and text has changed.
I just thought if this is a scam, which it seems to be, it may possibly fool many people. Best to report it. I tried to send him a friend request and report him personally, but he did not respond. If there is an easier way to report please let me know. Someone else tried to buy my account in pm chat, but I unfriended him and disappeared before i could report him.

I got the most fail scam. This lvl 1 came up to me and told me to change my face, becauz he was against ducks and wouldn't tell me why. Who hates ducks? Anyway I told him I didn't have 10 plat so he said his dad owns pl and he was gonna ban me frm the game I muted him and told him I was gonna report him. He left fast and he was gone frm my ignore list, so he probably deleted his character

Using your own account on different devices? No that's fine, that's not sharing accounts, its like using mobile and chrome, nothing wrong with that.

Yes part of those infosec exchanges. Totally agree education is key here. Come to think of if, why couldnt this sort of education be part of the education channels on tv as a free tv spot. I think that old and young would benefit alike. People dont understand how bits a peices of information collected overtime amount too. Social media like fb and apps that have others answering questions about others need to be truly understood of what becomes of the collection of information. Account sharing or passwords is only one facet of the big picture :)
