WHAT??!! Only 400KB?? I thought that for the time you have to wait (30 mins), this would be a lot much than that... I guess that they did it to not overload the DB, then.

Tyvm for your reply :)

P.S. For that weigh, it definitely worths the download & the storage.

...or because the encryption process... yeah, that sound even more logic now that I think about it :P

I have another question: Since we're talking about account back-ups here, what happens if we changed our password after the back-up? If we restore with the WEBS file, will it revert the old password or will the new password be retained?

Spoiler: Show

==========================================
EX:
Password when back-up was made: 1234567890
After a few hours, password was changed to: abcdefghij

3 days after, complications happened which requires restoration of accounts using the WEBS file.
so which password will be used then?
================================================== =

I'm asking this because if the old password is going to be retained after restoration, i have to make sure to make a personal note on what my password is during the time the back-up was made.

nay, im sure they used sums, if you decrypt it and change absolutey anything , the backup will be useless cause it will return a different SHA1sum, well i hope
warmane is smart enough to do that

Out of curiosity, here's a hypothetical. Let's say the community splits in two: one side wants their characters and vice versa. Who gets to be able to import account data?

Last backup: Never (backup now)

Is that a glitch or is it expected?
