This has been an occasional issue for me in the past, but now it has become intolerable.

Before, I could log in and browse the forums, and once in a while I would be inexplicably logged out. Log back in, good to go.

In the last week or so, I simply cannot stay logged in. I log in, it says it was successful, and half the time it pulls up the forums without being logged in. The times that it does show as logged in I can only go maybe two pages and I'm logged out again.

Any insights on what to do about this? In fact, I'll be shocked if this message goes through the first time.

Yes, NCSoft's web team's attempt at making accounts more secure only allows 8 hour logins if you stay connected with the browser up. However either your IP changing, you closing your browser or 8 hours elapse you will need to login again.

There are a number of threads about this with one or two with CS's response that its NCSoft's doing and they can't do anything about it.

Discovered my issue, not going to go into the steps involved as it was quite complicated.

In other words, you won't share information that might be helpful to others that might be having the same issue you were having that caused you to come here asking for help.

Got it.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
