Also means that i dont have access to my account with the exception of the couple of computers i have my password stored on. It's even more inportant for me to keep my account safe as i'm GL and have full access to the guild bank etc. i have a very simplistic password for websites etc i dont mind getting hacked, a slightly more complicated one for hotmail/skype and for things i keep under high security i have a complete nosense password that i dont even know and copy and paste from an encrypted document.

A lot of brute-force/dictionary scripts now take that into account, and will joyfully try changing all the E's to 3's and so on. Likewise with keyboard patterns. (Of which qwerty is the most egregious.) Be careful of L337 speak too.
