I considered it "Difficult" in a sense of "Being different", and that is something we should care for before writing about ourselves. Most sites offer a very simple process of registration and nothing at all is known about the user who is engaging a game or a community.
The fact that you have to write an introduction about yourself beforehand means a lot and I fear mine was not that great taking into account the level of difficulty implied and also all the previous experience I had registering in other sites.
In short, "Differently nice" process of registration ROK II has!
It has been quite a few years, yet from what I can remember I don't believe that it was all that difficult of a process. Perhaps things are a bit stricter when it comes to registrations and general rules compared to some other sites, but not really hard either.
Validation Fix
A new Player recently reported getting a 500 error when trying to validate their Email. I saw the errors in the logs but thought it was just a warning error that I could fix at a later date because of updated PHP versions. However, it proved to be more 'serious' than that. I am glad it is fixed now but regret many who may have joined but were confused by that error.
I went to registration like a breeze. It was easy for me because I was so full of curiosity and excitement about the game that I enjoyed the whole process.
Yes, hello, that was me. It was this portion of the registration that I deemed "Difficult." It was striking because I've joined several forums over the years and never ran into a problem like that. At first, I thought it might've been something caused by a poor Internet connection, but refreshes didn't help with that, so I knew it was something a bit more involved. It wasn't anyone's fault, but I did find it a bit frustrating.
Having said that, I genuinely appreciate that you were able to resolve the problem I was having so I could come here and get started. I've been able to enjoy the creative process of putting together what I want for my character, and I couldn't do that without the help of you and other administration. Thank you. *smile*.
