To be reasonable, I've been playing games for so many years, and this big cyber funeral made by Blizzard is really the first time I've seen it. You said that stopping the server is good and the entire data sealing server is over, and why do you need to mobilize players to save the data themselves, not to mention that NetEase has not promised to save user data completely? What's the redundant move?
Of course, Blizzard wants to engage in a cyber funeral and what electronic urn to launch, from the perspective of protecting player data, it does make sense. But the problem is that if you want to do a funeral, you have to do it well to attract the attention of players, and why can't you do a good job of testing before launching the urn function, so that players can download their character data and store it?
Judging from the feedback in the Warcraft forum alone, many Warcraft players have encountered the embarrassing situation of "the urn has been locked, but the ashes have not been poured in" when sealing their data, they can only watch the Warcraft account that has accompanied them for more than ten years is stuck on the bug of the electronic urn, on the one hand, because the account lock cannot be online, and on the other hand, because the progress save cannot be downloaded and their game data cannot be saved, this bad mood can only be described by the word crash.
What's worse, after the deciphering of some code gods, Blizzard's painstakingly crafted electronic urn is not safe at all, because this electronic urn only imports player character data from the background database, but lacks the most basic authentication function.
Theoretically, anyone who has downloaded the urn can apply to restore the character based on this data. Yes, you heard it right, Blizzard's logic for data sealing is that as long as someone can take the data to the new agent and upload it, he can bypass the original identity authentication and log in directly to World of Warcraft.
Let's be more clear, if you really download the electronic urn from World of Warcraft, it means that you personally transferred the security of your account from NetEase to Blizzard, but Blizzard because it is a foreign company, can not directly obtain sensitive data such as domestic player identity information, so they can only go to the background to call up a so-called character data as your login credentials.
But the problem is that once the electronic urn stored in your computer or network disk is stolen by someone else, when the national server is reopened, as long as this person can log in faster than you, he can directly occupy your account.
Of course, for those practitioners who know your account password, if they really want to steal your Warcraft account, they don't have to bother, you can log in to your account now to apply for an electronic urn, and then download the data directly. Because Blizzard is implementing this data sealing function, it also does not install a personal information authentication system, so in theory, everyone who knows your Warcraft account can place an urn data.
From a certain point of view, this large-scale cyber funeral directed and acted by Blizzard has long become a large-scale cyber-tomb robbery carnival.
