True story:
I've been into bodybuilding/powerlifting since I was 17. So, 16 years now. I have hardly any cartilage left in either knee. About 6 months ago I tore the cartilage in my right knee and it kept locking up. My family and I are all into farming. My mother in law sold a chunk of land to pay for stem cells in my knees and elbows (torn tendons in elbows too).
A week before my procedure I found out my ex wife had moved back to my state and enrolled the kids to school. Her and her husband quit their jobs so they took me to court for more child support.
Anyways. I had to use my stem cell therapy money to pay for my attorneys retainer.
I've been drinking tonight so thought I'd overshare lmao!
Sorry to here that. Have a few drinks here at the bar, and a water in between.
I forgot the whole reason I came back here. Path of Exile...
Last season I played was Delve, which was quite a few seasons ago. But decided to give it a go again, installed an 80GB patch or update, and tried to log in. Since the Delve season, they implemented this stupid security "feature," that if you reset your modem and your IP changes, you need to go to your email and enter a new code.
This is to stop someone else logging into your account, so you get notified (and re-enter a new code,) every time you try playing from a different connection/location (I change connections quite a bit, and don't mind the occasional code.) But, we also reset our modem daily, and so my IP changes daily. I have to re-enter a NEW code from a NEW email, every single day...
Now, they can disable this feature. But, they won't tell me how many security steps I have to follow to verify I own the account, and won't disable it until then. I have to tell them the state/city I created the account from and my current IP address. Somehow this verifies that I own my account, or is one of multiple steps. My public IP changes daily anyway, and actually lists the incorrect state.
So, I logged in, deleted my old characters, and replied with a statement saying that the account was now empty, no characters, no items, and that I want them to delete my account.
We'll see whether they can delete my account without verifying that it's my account, but won't disable their own stupid anti-IP-change code feature.
Edit: Ok, they still want my IP address. Does anyone know how my public IP address, which changes daily, can verify my account? IE: If my account was hacked, and my email was hacked, couldn't they just log in, and send their own IP? They also want to know where the account was created, but don't find that a common request in account recovery/verification.

This came about because my last time in Delve league, my last log in for a long time, was in a different suburb. I've traveled around and used numerous people's wifi, so I asked what the date of that log in in that suburb was, so that I could confirm that I was actually in that area.
They didn't answer that query, but they asked for my Account Name AND character names. Fine.
Then they asked for my IP and state/suburb I created the account.
All the while using my verified email. I think I'm going to take the IP address of another person's connection and send that to them. See what they respond with. The account is defunct anyway, so it doesn't matter. I just don't think they need to re-send a code every single day, or any of these measures they've taken. :/

Well, I got the job. Have to get to SoCal by the 30th. This will probably be my last major trip cross country.

@djmbbandie Congrats on the job.
@Drystan I am still playing PoE and I get messages that I am saying in from a new location (which I'm not) and have to retype the password and a code on a semi-regular basis (every couple of months or so).

@TheNix - I wouldn't mind if it were every couple of months, but we reset our modem nightly (housemate doesn't like sleeping with the modem on in her room, so we turn it off before bed. We can only have it connected through a wall in her room, and have considered having a cable going through the house into the hall.) Our IPs get reset every time, so it will always change.
I've been playing a fair bit of Magic Arena lately. I've always enjoyed the concept of the game, and it's quite fun to actually play it. The virtual currency is a huge bonus.

Congarats. @djmbbandie
@Drystan: Make a box over the modem so the light isn't annoying if that is the problem or is it sound or something else?
Hopefully somewhere next year I'll have a new gaming rig and I'll play some PoE again and I'll try out Magic Arena.
