Reports IP Sharing

This allows you to report if you are sharing an IP with someone or may possible be sharing one with someone. If you do this, then it eliminates the possibility of being accidentally admin wacked because of suspected duping. All you need to do is enter your username, the other person's username and the reason for sharing. If you are unsure if someone else at your school or work plays, then just leave the User #2 space blank.

Reasons to Report IP Sharing:

- If you play from the same house as someone else
- If you play from public places, such as a college campus
- If you play from a corporate network, i.e your workplace

Change Password

If you want to change your password you may do it at any time just by putting your password into the Current Password box and entering your desired password in the New Password and Retype boxes.

Change/Verify Email

  • Change Email Address
- In order to update your email address you just need to enter the desired new email address and then retype it in the box below.
  • Verify Email Address
- Initially you will need to send a verification code to your email in order to verify it. You may do so from this page under the settings column. You will receive an email with the code shortly after requesting it.
- If you happen to change your email, you will receive a new verification email after updating it and until the new email is verified the change will not take place.

Retire/Suicide

If you are interesting in leaving your life of crime behind you, then all you need to do is enter your characters name into the box and hit the Retire/Suicide button.
