How secure do you feel regnum is?

[Proteas]

i feel regnum to be very secure as long as you have a good anti virus and a strong password try a alphanumeric password not just letters or numbers.

try using both and you account will be safe

update your anti virus once a week that will also help

The network stuff is scarily scant....

that would add exact 0 security because the username is known. The proper way is salting.
I dont know which hash is used, but md5 is broken for a while now and unsalted md5 is broken since decades.
anyway you dont need to dehash the password because you can start the game only with the username and hash.

alphanumeric are letters and numbers only, you mean non-alphanumeric.
but your point is right. Put some special characters in you password and its way harder to be brute forced.
But if your hash gets stolen or your password get scammed/phished/sniffed ... then it doenst help you to have the best password in the world.
(i wont comment on antivirus)

Remember, there is no perfect security. you can only raise the bar as high as you can
