[quote=pavchka]I don't know why it requires you to select the highest level character per se, but at any rate I recommend you take a screenshot of the highest character that's on your BasilID saying something along the lines of "I'm *insert BasilID* and I've been locked out of my account". It's considered sufficient proof in case of impersonation, so I don't see why it shouldn't be accepted here.

What an incredible hassle, though. I really hope B can find another solution.[/quote]

I will probably have to do that. I can't think of the email or password I used for that account now. Since I had to log into this one via email when the upgrade happened i accidently erased the saved information for my other account. So now I don't remember anything but the user id. If sending the screen shot does not work then I guess ill just have to use this account but I just don't want to be at risk in being banned because having multiple accounts on one IP.

But I can't check my account settings since I CAN'T LOG IN.

Lucky for me, I apparently have a second account.

[quote=zcrimsyn]Question @pavchka I just received an email from Mr.B or maybe his automotive message that explains what to do. Basically it wants me to take a screen shot in game with the highest level main on the account in game. Now do I just go log on the highest character and take that screen shot or does it matter what character I log on? What if those are not my main character but just a character I added on that profile? My main character I did not add on to that account I just added some of my old characters. Now I want that account back because I do not want to be banned for using multiple accounts on Basil. If i can not get that account back I at least want those characters removed/account deleted so I can add it on this account here. I apologize if I had to use another account but with out being notified of the change I am locked out of that old account now.[/quote]

Regardless of the purpose Mr.B should have at least gave a notice about the change before doing so. This wouldn't be a big issue if there was some notice like he always does with site updates. If there is a notice then I apologize for not being able to find it on the site.

[quote=shivalau]That's right, as if basil needs some pointless security. Hahaha what a joke....[/quote]

It's only account theft and the associated defamation, scamming, leaking of personal info and doxxing, plus phishing and the spreading of unsafe links and malware such as RATs and keyloggers. *insert F3 here* Those are no threat at all.

You can choose not to fill in the contact form, but that'll only guarantee nothing at all will happen. I'll ask if he can temporarily change the system back so people can retrieve the email addresses they signed up with. I don't know if he can, but it's worth trying.

[quote=dennisb0t]@Pavchka: No, it was a few months back where I tried to log in and then it told me "for security purposes your account needs to be revalidated" I couldn't remember my email so I tried to contact him using the contact page. no reply..?

Also, I already contacted him yesterday about it again and when providing proof I think its quite silly that we have to log on to maple because there are a majority of users that have quit playing maple. To provide proof I have to reinstall maple

EDIT: I actually told MMORPG about this as well in the cytube chatroom. He said he would make a post about it in the mod section but I havent been in contact with him for a few months too.[/quote]

I know what caused the revalidation thing (I assume you know as well), but that MapleStory evidence is a hassle and not foolproof... you'd think he could do an IP check unless you have a dynamic IP or something. What's the name of your old BasilID?

Yep that was happening to me. It looks like Basil had a maintenance to deal with it, since it was down briefly.

If it helps anyone through contact on the bottom of the page I asked about it and they fixed it, I don't know if it was for everyone but after I shot them an email I stayed logged in and stuff.

[quote=Pavchka]You submitted a complaint a few months ago about a feature that was implemented yesterday? Or were you having a different issue?

MrBasil's aware of the problem. You can contact him using the form on the login page. He'll then try to restore access to your old account.[/quote]

yea ok I'll wait a year for his reply~
