E-mail showing as account name

Hi,

I’ve just logged in (20-2-2013 @ 17:57 CET), and noticed that my e-mail is showing up as my account name. I’m not aware if anybody else can see this(guild members/friends), but I find this a pretty big privacy issue. Everyone ingame could see my e-mail now by just inviting me to a party or adding me as a friend. Please fix this.

It happens to me occasionally too. I have also confirmed with many many people that they CANNOT see my email when it happens.

And I know of other people who have also experienced it.

Don’t worry.

Thank you for the clarification. It was disturbing at first sight. I’ve confirmed with guild members that they cannot see my e-mail. Client sided it is.

Hello everyone.

Yes, we have a thread going on in the Account Issues subforum about this. It has been acknowledged by the team and we are working on it. As said, is disturbing but does not represent any danger for your accounts whatsoever so we would ask you for patience till this gets fixed.

Thanks.
