[Lu Nix]

Hello Everybody,
I got a message (see below) on my e-mail.
It is strange as :

I use gold card
Even i had nice HOF few days before.
The e-mail was send on adres i did not use for creation of account.
Therefore i suspect chacking attempts - if YOu get similar info be extremally carefull.
Regards
Lu

maybe it was an old avatar that you half made up before starting the avi you use now?

I take it the link was official, and going to the EU website as per your copy and paste?

It looks genuine enough to me, the only think i would be wary of was if the link was actually pointing to the EU website or a clone.

This is indeed the email you get if you have an old avatar. I got it on my beta avatar before it got "purged", only had the TT value left when I logged in

hmm,
i was trying to make avatar about two years ago but did not receive any answer from MindArk - therefore they created one i never logged one.
Thx . Panie Majorze

I wanted to add just one thing:

Even if your mailprogramm display the correct adress of www.entropiauniverse.com that doesn't necessarly mean that you are redirected to this site. It is realtively easy to do that and redirect you to a page that looks similar to the original...
i hope you get th epoint.

So it's better not to use links from emails

Yes. Sorry, but if you check the link properties (as I do in any email with a link) you can see that it is or is not going to the right place. Or am I just being

I have only recently heard about accounts being closed by MA if you don't lock on permanentely. It's good to know that you receive a warning.

But I would like to know how long you can be absent without getting in the danger of account closure. Dis MA publish a certain time period somewhere or does anybody know?
