    Default Changes to www.adom.de and rogueleague.org in the light of GDPR

    Hi everyone!

    The ugly shadow of GDPR looms in the near future. Thus we will make a slew of changes to the website:
    • Very soon it only will be available via https (we are already testing this and will change over in the next 24 hours barring any problems). All the old non-https links hopefully should be transparently mapped to https ones.
    • We have updated (and continue doing so) our imprint and privacy policy for the 25th of May. At that point both documents hopefully will stabilize.
    • Forum registration now will require a minimum age of 16 years (due to GDPR laws in Germany, where we are situated). If you are under 16 you no longer are allowed to register for the forums and will be asked to unsubscribe, deleting your profile in the process. The procedure for parental consent for people between 13 and 15 is so mind-numbingly stupid, complicated and far beyond anything that realistically can be handled by a small team like ours that we sadly are forced to this step.
    • Similarly access to the global highscores at http://www.rogueleague.org will now be forbidden for users under the age of 16.
    • ADOM will be extended to include new terms of use and a confirmation screen for your age.


    In the background many other things are happening to make our processes GDPR compliant.

    None of this will make your data safer in any way as we always have been careful to not share data with third parties or abuse it in any way. We only use it for the growth of the community and to learn how to improve ADOM. But EU regulation offices hopefully will be happy with wasting our time, preventing us from developing our business and plastering boring documents all over the place.

    If you have any questions, comments or insights, use this forum to share them.

    Oh yes, and www.ancardia.com will be shut down. One less site to care for with all this new documentation shit.

    Ah, I've missed this thread.

    I'm one of the IndieGoGo backer and recently tried to get the latest backer release and encountered some issues with that. I assume they are due to this thing. Will there be an e-mail update with new instructions or there was one that I missed?

    I know about the Steam beta thing, but I needed the ASCII-only version which is not on Steam (or again, I might be missing something).
    I like my women like my ADOM loot - hunted as treasure and in extra quantity.

    You can find the new secure download area at: https://www.adom.de/home/download/secure.

    Please use the same login data as for the ancardia website.
