Any trials for this game? I'm intrigued a bit.

Wait, doesn't WoW have a similar system? Over winter break I went to England and when I tried to log in it locked my account. But it seems people still get hacked left and right.

Don't know if it's the same but it definitely has something similar in regards to checking ip's. I've had my account locked a number of times due to friends in other countries trying to log into it.

I had discussed with Blizzard when I traveled to China regarding my ability to play while there. They said they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't ban me, and I replied that if they couldn't determine that there was a gap in access equivalent or greater than the travel time to the "new" location, and then see normal access resume after the appropriate travel time again, then they needed to find better network analysis engineers.

Their reply was "you won't be banned, that's exactly how the system works."

Mind you, it's a weighted system that took into account country of origin. As you know with WoW, logging in from NYC and then from SF 5 minutes later and then NYC again doesn't set off any major flags.

Some games allow you to set your account security

eg:

Highest - only the ip you signed up with is accepted
next highest - only very similar ips
etc etc until there's 0 security
