World of Warcraft: Account Security reminders - Image 1 


In every MMORPG game, players are always concerned about account security. The same goes for Blizzard with World of Warcraft, the company shows concern for the welfare of the players. In order to keep things in order and to resolve game-related issues, Blizzard blue poster Eyonix has made a lengthy reminder to the gamers.


Eyonix posted that players "take caution when being directed to outside websites and update the security on their computers accordingly." He also suggested that gamers should also add Internet security, in the form of a firewall and/or anti-virus scanner. In addition, consultation with Network administrators should be sought after whenever a problem is encountered.


He also recommended that players should use the Blizzard Launcher when starting the game as it provides greater security from harmful software. If players want to know more about the Launcher, they can simply go to this site.


Eyonix also noted that gamers should run the Windows Update or Software Update in order to secure a safe operating system environment. In addition to this, players may have to run the updater more than once to ensure all the high priority updates are acquired. Many of these patches require a system restart and additional patches will complete the process.


Finally, Eyonix had some additional information for players for future uses. He posted:

If you come across a suspicious link or program, please report it here.
