man using this feature to track me yet again.
Clearly, this community doesn't care about such a very real threat...Vodani deleted.
So your one of THOSE kind of people....
Exactly what kind of person is that? Also, exactly how does a blatant ad hominem add anything to the discussion?

Im sorry mate but its not up to the entire game to be changed to suit issues you are having... If you have these issues and tickets/police are not resolving it perhaps a name change or deleting your character is the best option.
And if its a real threat to your physical safety I would dare say you probably have bigger things to worry about than playing a game... Good luck.
Yes and no: The goal of a stalker is also to control the behavior of their target, and, preferably, to isolate them. Quitting the game is playing into both of those desires. The less Vodani interacts socially, the less he or she has a network of people who can at least provide some grounding influence, the more he or she will be at risk. Either from the stalker, potentially encouraged by the "victory," or just from the sort of strain that can put on a person.
It may not seem like a big deal to you, but it actually matters to someone who has to spend their time looking over their shoulder. If nothing else, blowing off steam is vital to the emotional health of the individual. Someone who is stalked living an entirely isolated and utilitarian life, ultimately, has given all of their power over to the person stalking them. It also further endangers them. It may seem odd that an online game might be where the line is drawn, but it makes absolute sense. When one is trying to let their hair down, they want to actually be able to do so.
Vodani: I'm not suggesting you endanger yourself, naturally. Keep safe, keep connected, and remember: you're not the only one.

Am I missing something here? Vodani was talking about a toon possibly being stalked as a real threat, how can a toon be threatened.
A toon is a toon it tell's no one your real name or where you are from it is just a toon, if someone bothers you r toon use ignore if that is not enough...teleport somewhere else, they wont know where you teleported to or just log out ,it actualy is no big deal.
As for keeping a record of when your toon logs in and out.....give it a break, who in there right mind cares enough to keep a record of how long each toon plays and say someone did go to all that trouble what they going to do with the record.......nothing at all it is usless. and meaningless
Yeah, you did miss something. Vodani was saying that he or she was being stalked, not the toon. The toon is a tool. As for what could be done with the data? Usage data can be used to establish daily patterns. Such as: when you're at home. When you're at the office. Whether or not you've stayed late at the office. It also allows certain stalkers to maintain the delusion of a connection between them and their target, which further fuels stalking behavior.
Should I continue?
