The Open Cave

I had used this, once, and it is working how it supposed to work!

It looks like it worked now, so enjoy your time on the server!

Thanks for the help, Al Bina and Opa. As you have quite rightly pointed out, Al Bina, it is now working.

I think I may have found the crux of the problem, after conducting some experimentation with my password. Primarily, it is worth noting, I use long complicated passwords for all my accounts. That being said, the first thing I did was to take the advice from Opa and enter a simple password. This worked first time and I was able to enter the cave.

However, the assumption made by Opa that I must have entered it wrong 3 times is flawed.

The reason I say this is flawed is because I said, in my origional post...

SmilingOne wrote:...I've also copy and pasted it...

It is nigh on impossible to enter the password incorrectly if the paste function is used.


The next step I took was to shorten the origional password I used. I reduced it to approximately 12 characters. This also worked. I then proceeded to increase the number of characters incrementally by one each time, until it failed. I found that it failed at 16 characters. I tried this 3 times with different passwords.

The next step I took was to simplify the password to just one character repeated 16 times. This also failed. The moment I changed back to 15 characters, it worked again.

To sum up, I feel this highlights either a limitation in password length or a flaw in the encryption algorithm.

I remeber a post in the GoW forum about the Gehn shard. It discribed exactly the same problem. It seems, plasma can't handle more then 15 characters as password. I thought this limit was increased. Thanks for the clarification.
