Many problems may rise, though:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) How would you set this lock? A password locked interface like the recovery questions?

 

 

 

2) You would need a password to get there, most likely. Once you do so and type in your IP and set it locked, how would you delete it? Just get the password?

 

 

 

3) If it's programmed that you can only delete the IP from the IP you wish to be deleted, how can you delete it if you cannot access the IP? Your account would be locked to a certain IP that you can't use, and you can only use the account from that dead IP.

 

 

 

4) Since 3 may be the case, a hacker can easily get someone's IP by simply getting their password. They could then delete the IP. That would then defeat the entire purpose of this thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If none of those could happen, this thing would rule. you prolly can't understand half of it but yeah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you sure you read my previous post? Solution #1 answers most of, if not all, your questions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Test period. All configurations in-game (didn't mention that part, I know).

 

 

 

2) Yup, you need a password to get in-game :)

 

 

 

3) If you for some reason should get locked out, I presented an idea for a recovery system.

 

 

 

4) The IPs wouldn't function as passwords. Hackers may find out people's accepted IPs, but the hackers wouldn't be able to add or delete any such IPs unless themselves are operating from an accepted IP, which the test period should make sure wouldn't happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should get some pictures, these things are messy to talk about :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A huge issue would be newbs not reading the instructions(like they tend to) and(if they have dial up) they register and lose their accounts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No big issue. Even though I believe Runescape would do much better without these people, the recovery system (still mentioned, last post, Solution #1) would, after a month or so (during which they'll have plenty of time to realise the importance of reading instructions), get them their accounts back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What if you want to get on your account from another computer?? I think jagex thought of IP-accounts but then ppl would complain that they couldn't get on their account from a laptop/friends house/ ect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well then you should either:

 

 

 

A) Not have enabled the function in the first place.

 

 

 

B) Add your friend's IP(s) to the "Accepted IPs"-list before you go to your friend.

 

 

 

C) Wait til you get home.

it still wont help....people can change there ip addresses....so they can change it to someone elses....its not like you cant find out ip addresses somes things (such as invisionfree)can show ipaddresses and it will let you steal your pass it will never work

Yeah but... They can't change their IP to an occupied IP... can they...? Can two computers share IP?

Oops, misunderstood the idea. I support.
