I have some ideas for email verification...

On registration you could enter your email

The server would get that email, create a randomly generated code like 33ftt64s or whatever and take a PHP page you've got and rename it to that (then rename it back for other use), upload it to your FTP, send an email like "Please verify registering GIAKEN by clicking this link: www.whatever.com/randomcode.php"

Then you click on it, the PHP page will send a packet to your server. In the server you would have a Verifying folder which will store files that were created in place of actually creating the account files...like 3rwer43.ini and you would get the code from the PHP page's packet. The server will then get the name and password from that verifying file and make the account. If the server is off the PHP page will simply say "Failed. The server is offline!" else it will say "Success! You are now verified!"

Wouldn't be hard to do for me (except the PHP part...I don't know PHP). Not sure how long it would take to do it...

The player wouldn't need any extra DLLs or anything...the server just needs it.

If you do that then you shouldn't rename anything. Just doing how websites do it, whatever.com/verify.php?code=23j32l4j0f

Oh yeah...

Well I don't know anything about PHP...but that would be a lot smarter.

If you wanted to do it without the PHP. You could send the code to the user, then in the client you have a 'verify' section that you have to enter the code. The code gets sent to the server and if it works, you get verified.

Yeah I wasn't thinking about that part Always trying to make things more difficult.

I'll probably make a tutorial soon.
