Accounts
Navigation: Accounts — route /accounts
The account list shows all accounts ordered by login name, with their state and e-mail address.
Searching
The search box above the list filters by login name. The list is paged and loaded on demand, so it stays usable with a large number of accounts.
Creating an account
The Create button at the bottom opens a dialog which asks for the login name, the password and (optionally) an e-mail address. The password is hashed by the server — you never store it in plain text.
This is mainly useful for creating a game master account or a test account on a server which does not offer registration.
Account states
The state of an account decides how it is treated when it logs in:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
Normal | A normal player account |
Spectator | Invisible to players and monsters |
GameMaster | A game master account — this is what unlocks the game master chat commands |
GameMasterInvisible | Game master, invisible to players and monsters |
Banned | Permanently banned; the account cannot log in |
TemporarilyBanned | Temporarily banned |
Banning a player
To ban an account, open it with Edit and set its state to Banned (or
TemporarilyBanned), then save.
If the player is currently online, the ban does not kick them by itself — use the Online accounts page to disconnect them.
Editing an account
Edit opens the generic edit page of the account. From there you reach everything that belongs to it: the characters with their stats, inventory and skills, the vault, and the account's settings.
This is the generic edit page, i.e. a direct view of the data model. It is powerful and it is easy to create inconsistent data with it.
In particular, creating characters here is not supported — character creation involves initialization logic which the web interface does not run yet. Create characters in the game client.
Changing a password
Passwords are stored as a hash, so they cannot be read back. To give a player a new password, use the account edit page and set a new password there.
Deleting accounts
Accounts can be deleted from the generic edit page. Consider banning instead — a banned account keeps the character names reserved and keeps the history of what happened on your server.
