PSA: Account Sharing and Identity Theft
Recently we have been made aware of a situation where players have been sharing accounts between members of their guild. While not technically a violation of our Terms of Service to do so, it can put your account, and your personal life, at risk by doing so. You should never share your account credentials with anyone, especially if you have bound your account to a personal and primary email or Facebook account.
Once a person has access to your account credentials to log into HoDA, this also means they have access to log into that email or Facebook account as well. A person could very easily impersonate you in your real life by having this information, sending emails as you or interacting on Facebook as you. Additionally, whatever information you have available through those accounts would then be made available to this person. If you also use these accounts to access any other systems, by sharing these credentials, you have now given that person access to those systems as well.
This can be a cause of Identity Theft. Given how much information we store online, particularly through email and Facebook, it is not difficult for a dishonest person to take your account login credentials and gain access to a great deal of your personal information, and take over your life. This may lead them to having access to your banking information, credit card information, work and medical history, etc.
What actions can you take to prevent this?
NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR LOGIN CREDENTIALS. Be sure your account credentials remain secure. Update your passwords from time to time, and don't use the same password everywhere you use the account.

What are the HoDA policies regarding account credentials?
- Heroes of Dragon Age Staff will never ask for your login credentials, nor do they have access to your login credentials.
- Heroes of Dragon Age is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or otherwise shared passwords.
- All activity taken on an account is considered an authorized use of that account. We do not differentiate between users of an account provided the account has been accessed through a login process.
- Customer Support will attempt to secure and recover accounts as best as possible, but ultimately the responsibility of account security falls to the account owner.

What should I do if I see objectionable material on the forums?
It is important that members recognize the real-time nature of this forum: the moderators cannot always monitor the contents of posted messages, and as such depend upon you to inform them when participants or their messages are violating our policy as stated here. You must also recognize that they cannot respond immediately to such notices and that some time may pass before any warranted action is taken.
To contact a moderator, please use the Flag Post function on the post represented by a flag:
What happens if I break the rules?
At best, your post will be edited by one of the moderators and you will be issued a warning. If the offense is more serious your post will be deleted. Posting "why was my post edited/deleted?" etc. will only make matters worse, so please don't. If a moderator has not sent you a message stating why, please send the Sr Moderator a message asking for a reason.
Should you have already been issued warnings and continue to break the rules, you will be issued an infraction - your posting privileges will be disabled for three days, but you will still be able to view the forums as a guest.
For persistent and deliberate rule-breakers your account will be "Banned". That means you are no longer welcome on these forums and/or games and your account will no longer function in them. If you re-register, your new account will be banned as well.
Posting Suggestions
In the attempt to create a compromise where everyone is happy, the following suggestions are also recommended:
1. Be civil and courteous. This forum is visited by people from all over the world, of different ages, genders, religions, and backgrounds, and are each entitled to their own opinion.
Also, see Flaming, Right to Privacy, and Hatred.
2. Make sure that your message topics fit the topic description of the forum in which you are posting. This is for your own benefit - for example, a question regarding a bug or problem should be posted in the Feedback section.
3. Use the search function before posting, particularly if the question is problem oriented. Most technical questions have been answered before, and solutions are freely available.
4. Make sure that you have followed #3 before posting
5. Read the sticky threads at the top of each forum - they are there for a reason, and generally contain information relevant to the forum.
6. Don't quote the entire message that you're responding to, only the pertinent passage. This makes it easier to read for other users.
7. If you find it easier to express yourself en français, auf Deutsch, en español, in Nederlands, in Italiano, or any other language, post in the International Discussion forum. Hopefully someone who speaks the same language as you will be able to assist you. All posts in other sections (non-International) of the forums must be in English, so please make use of Google Translate if you need assistance with translation. Posting in English will allow the widest range of people to assist you.
In addition to the Forum Rules, you are bound to the general EA Terms of Service both on these forums and in the game. Links to the TOS are as follows:
EA TOS English
EA TOS French
EA TOS German
EA TOS Russian
EA TOS Spanish
