Once a while, it says that I connect via a new IP and need to authenticate via email. I have been playing from the same PC and same connection all these time.
I have no issue for the game to want to authenticate my account, it’s just few clicks away only.
Is there a limit that I can authenticate it? Why does it detect my game running from a new IP every few days? Is there a penalty if I don’t fix this?

You probably have a dynamic IP set up through your ISP. You can call them up to confirm this, and if it bugs you that much, ask them to switch you over to static.

no penalty, its basically to stop poeple from anywhere else accessing your account and stealing your stuff. like the battle.net authenticator but Anet work on IP. i log on at work and their IP changes hourly.

do you play on a dongle? i do and that sometimes gets affected.
