Org system was reliant on our forum being outdated to be compatible with a forum plugin and our server directly interfacing with MySQL tables to get information. Current corps system is still in development, once it has proper in-game UI, it will be much more easily understandable.

Old login system relied on having an authentication server application, which we deprecated in favor of moving everything to the game server itself. The old method of logging in is both completely impossible and also madly inferior in everything except people not liking to open browsers. Unfortunately, this is not our idea, this is the oAuth standard as provided by all the large web conglomerates coming together to decide on a web standard. We would embed it into the client itself, but that's no longer supported by Google. Login system can still be improved further, hopefully in the future allowing for players to authenticate certain characters once and never again (unless a password changes), and selecting from as many without entering any passwords. This is only possible with this oAuth login system. It is also more secure, allows players to use 2FA, Social Logins etc.

Filter system remains, if you're the kind of player who needs to use the N word, f bombs etc. to enjoy an online game, you need to re-evaluate you life.

Also, the some reasons we use oAuth for logins is

  1. oAuth is the modern standard for login systems
  2. It means we don't have to liaise with MySQL for logins
  3. It's infinitely more secure
  4. People can use 2FA with logging in now.
  5. and Social media logins work again, and any future social media logins we add will instantly work
  6. Because oAuth authentication is mostly dealt with on Web APIs and client, we don't need a whole application to manage logins anymore.
  7. Because oAuth is a standard, it will continue to be supported and we don't have to keep updating our code to follow MySQL table schemas every time we want to update our forum software.
  8. Because we use the forum to authenticate the logins, we don't have to check for ban status, because being able to login means you're not banned, making login processing even simpler.

Right now Orgs are bugged and Whenever Kages try to interact with them they get stuck in a black screen with no way of getting out unless a gm helps them. Woke and Esty have asked Gms for any assistance for using the new system to no avail. Will they ever get a reply back on how to work it anytime soon?

I believe that if you create a system where you do not have to login everytime you start the game, and only when you're at a new PC or logout yourself, people will stop complaining about the login system. It's a bit of a pain to open up a browser every time you open the game. Like, the login can persist how it does on facebook, which I believe uses OAuth.
