Scawen will not revert back to the previous model. Doing so would not only be waste of time Scawen could spend on developing LFS, but would also result every account, including yours, having much higher risk of getting stolen.
And I will ask you a question. Honestly, would you rather:
1) Wait one week (or soon just 6 days) and after that, get to play S3 for your life or
2) Take that big risk that could occur anyday of rest of your life. Risk where your account and your license (which, according to yourself, spend your last money on it) would get stolen, meaning in worst case scenario, that would absolutely be possible here, you would need to start from scratch, create another account and buy another license?
And, it's just one week, it will go faster than you think. And I also have an answer for your question "What's worse than a whole week?". Answer is: two weeks.
First, I'm 100000% sure he can just login the server or whatever his system is, change my old email to my NEW one which i can write down here, and just be done with it once and for all. It will save so many headaches...
Second, LITERALLY NO ONE cares about my or whoever's account in LFS, we are not living in 2005 anymore, people can buy the game instead, spending hours to "hack" someone's profile. This is not Facebook, this is just a game profile.
Also the reason I want to play the game so bad RIGHT NOW is cause i'm off work for that week, after 6 days i won't have so much free time to enjoy the game I want. Its super simple, otherwise i would not bother with so much writting...
All I'm asking from him is to just change my old email with the new one, so I can play the game. I'm pretty sure its a job for no more than 5-10 minutes.
I only have a short and simplified reply to this which I hope allows you to accept what has happened.
Web data security requires stringent processes and a reliable, dependable procedural system in place. This system needs to be followed once implemented, so there's no "cheating" or "bypass" that becomes a normalization of deviance (you can read about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_of_deviance).
Scawen wants to keep everything standardized. So... it's gonna hurt from your POV that you're going to run out of time to play S3 this week. But for the sake of LFS's security (... and we've hit low points quite recently last year to be fair), it'll be better for all of us.
Scawen or Geraldine can correct me if I'm wrong, but I've understood they can only change your email if all these three conditions are met:
1) You have forgotten your password,
2) You don't have access to an email that is currently linked and
3) You are able to provide proof of purchase for the license you bought. Something like a scan of a credit card statement with an entry for "WWW.LIVEFORSPEED.NET" or a PayPal transaction ID will do.
IM SO SMART ! they need to give me a scholarship !!! I JUST RE-CREATED my old email, and it actually sent me the code in the OLD (NEW) EMAIL ! LMAO ! IM SMART AF !!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I CAN FINALLY PLAY THE GAME ! ALSO CHANGED MY EMAIL JUST IN CASE !
