Just a note from myself, the RC master ;D
if you can set even the first range on an IP it helps more than you think
123.*.*.*
there are 255 numbers that can be put in the front space, they are usualy fairly ISP specific but if you think about it, that one vague range eliminates 254/255 people right off the bat and people who live where that ISP isn't offered also!
if you can set the second
123.456.*.*
that leaves 65025 people out of a possible (as of now) 4228250625 people on the net that could possibly use that RC account, thats 1 person in every four million! we don't even have that many players in the entire history of Graal combined. Most dialups don't change these two numbers very often, the first i've never seen change at all
if you're lucky enough to set the third
123.456.789.*
there are 255 people that can use it, however, they would have to play graal, know how to hack your password in some manner, know what RC is, know how to use it, have the same ISP, AND live near you!
those are quite a list of requirements!
so you see, while the password is a formidable method of keeping out the uglies even a partial IP range is usually possible and helps more than you can imagine.
For those of you who can't use it (perhaps you have two different ISPs) i would suggest changing your password at least once a month if you have any high access and always change it after you have discovered any viruses or other people getting into/on your computer.
If you follow all these steps and a hacker get through them he'd probably be able to hack the server it's stored on and not bother with you!
Just some recomendations i thought of while sitting here
