I was beginning to feel bad, being the only one to experience the majesty of sad dolphin, so I thought I would share.

I imagine the computer is thinking, "Blargh, I just got repaired, why am I being immersed in the ocean, again!?" Sad dolphin is like, "Oooh, I don't understand, I just got it back from the shop. Maybe I should smack it with this wrench some more?"

[ZeroTigress]

The mysterious error dolphin is finally revealed. :U

Cute error screen.

Due to some troubling developments, guests will no longer be allowed to enter the iRO Community RaidCall. All visitors must now be approved members in order to enter the RaidCall. Anyone who hasn't been in the group before will now be prompted to apply for group membership.

To shed a bit more detail on this specifically. My raidcall account was hacked (why anyone would want to hack a raidcall account is beyond me). The group was unharmed, users were unharmed. The individual that accessed my account just added some of his friends, changed my account info, and added a new group to my account. The iRO Raidcall group remained unchanged.

 

 

After having the breach occur twice on my account despite changing the password, I realized there was a pattern. The same individual was trying to friend me before I denied his request, and a few hours later someone "else" logged in on my account. So I believe there may be a bug in the friend system on raidcall that gives wanabe hackers access to your account.

 

 

I HIGHLY suggest you take these steps to protect your raidcall account:

 

1. In the top right of the raidcall window, next to the shirt icon is a tab where you can access "System Settings"

 

2. Go into the system settings, and then to the privacy settings tab.

 

3. Check the "Reject contact request from all users" and "Block messages from strangers" tab.

 

 

Uncheck these options when you want to add a friend, and be sure to re-check them again once you are finished.

 

 

These individuals seemed intent on re-accessing the raidcall group and bothering users, so for the meantime, as ZeroTigress said, you will need approval before you can join the group (hopefully this blows over soon so we can set the group back to public again).

The inherent problem with keeping the group public is that it puts the group on RaidCall's public listing so anyone with a RaidCall account can easily look us up in the directory. Having the group private keeps us off that directory and only allows those who know our group ID to find us. I think this is a better course of action for the long-term as we only want this RaidCall open to iRO players anyways.

Even before these hacking incidents, we've been getting random RaidCall users coming into the group to cause trouble. I sincerely believe we should keep the group private so only those we've shared the group link with can find it (iRO forums and iRO Wiki).

There is a channel in Spanish?

There is not a channel in spanish, and like the forums we prefer you speak english in the raidcall (as most of the users have english as their primary language), however we do ocassionally have spanish speakers drop in. Drop and by at your leisure and see if its your cup of tea.

[dangerous01]

ok, thxs a lot Tkwan.

Thanks.

Just a word of warning: with the merge announcement, all RaidCall users will have their clients updated to the Russian version (merge starts October 1, this is just a client update). Just click on the menu button at the top right of the client window, scroll down to one of the options with a triangle next to it, and you should be able to select English as your default language.

Those who don't run RaidCall as admin will still retain the English UI as the default.

[Talvis]

You beat me to it.  However, if your client doesn't update, will it keep working?

Yep, working fine for me on my Windows 7.

I mean, will it connect to the Russian servers once the US ones completely shut down?

Guess we'll have to wait and see. Already downloaded the Russian client just in case.

I guess this isn't clearly defined in the OP.

It's a VoIP and text chat program.
