Title: Account Security Reminder
Posted By: null
Posted On: July 30th 2010 - 12:59 PM
Hello everyone, The staff received a complaint today about an account being hacked by somebody. After investigation, we determined, as it is 99% of the time, that the account info was shared with a 3rd party and the login info was disseminated to another person from there. I was also shocked to find out that after auditing the chat logs, there are guilds and players that are willingly disclosing their password for their accounts to other players. Since May 20th, the amount of passwords shared amount to over 50 separate instances. This is a reminder to all MicRO players that your account is your sole responsibility per the rules of the server. If you share your login information with absolutely anyone, you automatically void your right to the items on your account. Never share your login information with anyone. Whether its your friend, family member, spouse, dog, coworker or great-grandmother. 99% of the time, sharing your account information leads to loss of your items in one way shape or form. In these cases where there is no evidence of a security breach, the staff cannot do anything to recover your items. null

Title: Ways you can help MicRO Grow
Posted By: null
Posted On: June 24th 2010 - 07:48 PM
Hi all, Just wanted to throw a few ideas out there about how you, as a player can help MicRO to grow.
  • Vote for us. We ask that you vote for us on the topsites. You can do this by going to http://micro-ro.com/, logging in and once or twice a day, get some cash shop points for voting. You get some points, the server gets more recognition, its a win win.
  • Write an honest review for us on ratemyserver. I forbid the server staff from writing reviews for us, so we need your honest feedback. One of the best venues for this is ratemyserver. You can write a review at http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=serverstat&serid=8945&itv=6&url_sname=MicRO&page_num=1 - Whether its good or bad, any discussion of the server brings new people with new ideas into our community.
  • Donate. So far we have raised over $150 USD towards our upcoming advertising campaign. If you want to contribute to our production of ads, please donate at https://micro-ro.com/donations - this site is secure and every cent counts towards our goals. With this money we plan to purchase sponsorship ads on the RO topsites. We can't do it without your contribution. Please give what you can.
  • Talk with the community on the forums. Every time you post, you are expressing your opinion and opening yourself up to an ever-growing network of people who could help you in the future. The forum is a great place to establish connections with people, and the posts you make allow our forum to be more active.
  • Tell your friends. Do you know somebody who wants a refreshing new MMO experience? Tell them what measures we have taken towards transparency and accountability. Tell them how this benefits them by joining a long lasting and resilient server. We've been through a lot, and together we are making MicRO a better place. Contribute in any way that you can. Whether you're commenting on this post or speaking your mind to the public through voting/RMS, your contribution means a lot to us. Thank you, null
