How secure do you feel regnum is?

Uhm... Now that I read my reply I made a mistake... Packages were the Packets the client sends to the server to communicate. They're in plain text AFAIK. Ciphered packets would help to make the game more secure.

Sorry, I confused packages with packets (translation to Spanish would be: enpaquetados with paquetes ). My fault.

Edit: added a few more thoughts

Nowadays, it's almost impossible to break security in most of the cases, but there's always a way and it's social engineering. I could get my school's wi-fi lan passkey which was secured with wpa-psk just asking some questions to my teachers. Of course it has nothing to do (and I used it to send some mails ), but you can do the exact same thing to retrive the user and pass from anyone in the game. Unfortunately, this will keep happening because there's a large number of innocent-minded players that trust everyone.
