Warning:not connected to central player database?

[Sharpflame]

I get the warning that my password may be exposed to staff and whatnot,But I dont get what it is telling me.It happens on certain zones.

[Yoink]

There's a central network, SSC (read: joke), that unites all of the "main" zones. If you connect to a zone off that network, you get that warning.

The message might be slightly misleading; first thought I had when I first saw it years ago was that the zone staff has the ability to see my password.

 

That's incorrect. The person who has physical access to the networks database files (that stores squad, user, and score information) is capable of decrypting and finding out your password.

Yes. Nothing serious. Basically, there is a small chance that your password could be stolen by whoever runs smaller servers but in reality, nobody even wants to steal anyone's password (unless you are someone well known ).
