True In-Game Registration

[philip-ulrich]

I don't know how feasible this is, but it might be cool to do a command with a username as an argument (or email? But that goes back to PII in game again where they could accidentally chat it) and it will generate a custom register url with whatever information already filled in OR maybe even register them and send them an email with a password and if there is any other information needed for registration... prompt them for it when they login the first time? I feel like some natural nodebb functionality will get in the way with this... but if you can figure out a way... this would be baller. That command could be /register and if they already have a login, you could make that the /login command.

Creating a new account with just an email is possible.

I could immediately send them a password reset link in-game, since it expires there's no real danger of sending it.

/register definitely makes more sense as a command to register a new account. I think I'll be adding a command /link for linking your character to an existing account.

Super delayed response on my part, but that sounds pretty great!

I'll be getting to this as soon I can.

I'm working on group/rank syncing right now and I want to get that all ironed out first.

No rush! You do you bro. Take whatever time you need.i appreciate what you are doing.

Can't do user registration. Too much involved in creating the collection. However nodebb-write-api has a set of tools for doing it. OKHTTP java library could accomplish it. complete with password reset.
