As the first of (hopefully) many steps to combat players' accounts being hacked, Trion Worlds and the Rift dev team have announced that the 'coin lock' feature has been included in today's game update. With the coin lock feature implemented, if a player logs in from a significantly different location than previous log ins, the account will be placed into a locked status.
While in a Coin Locked status, users will have the following limitations: • No access to the auction house • No ability to SEND mail. Users can still receive and view mail as well as remove items from mail • No ability to SELL to vendors. Users can still purchase items from vendors • No ability to salvage, runebreak or destroy items • No ability to trade • Users can continue to play and gain coin and items, but cannot get rid of them.
