Jothany said:I would just like to point out to VR that an unexpected email that claims to be from Pantheonmmo.com - but doesn't know my real name or my forum handle - AND has a blind link it wants me to click AND shows up in my email client as coming from
"noreply-support@pantheonmmo.com via SurveyMonkey" member[at]surveymonkeyuser.com
looks exactly like the kind of phishing email that regularly winds up infecting people's computers with malware if they are careless enough to click on the link.
PLEASE, for the sake of your players, announce something like this in advance. (or put your link in the monthly newsletter or on the forums) AND tell your members to not click on stuff like this unless they have already heard that it's legitimate.
I agree that it would have been cool to get a heads up. Baz questioned it on Twitter.. and VR clarified to Baz on Twitter.. and then Baz talked with Mr. Schlow who updated him.. but I mean I guess they expect us to click anything that mentions Pantheon or VR.. and their presumption seems correct. Haha.
edit: now that I think about it.. I wonder if there are other forums they're using. I see scattered mentions of new forums, pre-alpha testers and I see some devs no longer post here. Maybe they're posting somewhere else? /foilhat
