Good question. That leads me to:
Will there be a way to invalidate the token? In case that it has been stolen or something? It would be great to have an option to invalidate your own token (instantly, via forum) and get a new one instead (could be also automaticly generated at the moment of invalidation of the previous one).

For most names the reply should come within five minutes or so as we already know you are an established member. Once we get past that initial wave, it should be easy to manage.
I hope it will be like that and won't extend to become a major problem on discovery in the coming days.
Also, we need something from you @Alley please. We want to know any ETA for the server because we are blind here knowing nothing about the return time
It's also holidays here and i ll go to work again after tomorrow, so can you please tell us when the server will be back ?
Even a range of time that can be +1 or -1 days please
Thanks in advance.
It is written in the OP

Sharing your authentication token is absolutely forbidden, if it is revoked for cheating because you shared it with a cheater, you will not be allowed back into the game.

That´s specific quite a lot unless you expect to get specific hour what I doubt is possible. Not to mention it can be delayed if things will get complicatd for some reason. And also, Alley and staff in general invest more than enough time already, nobody can expect them to work around the clock to fix Disco during Christmas holidays.

That's all , cheers
RE: An extreme decision - Alley - 12-23-2016
There isn't really any ETA. These things, they take time.

There are more important things at hand than getting you back on air. Be patient and grateful someone is actually working on your behalf to secure the server and your gaming future. Your RP work is irrelevant at this point.
Well done @Alley keep hammering forward!!

Good question. That leads me to:
Will there be a way to invalidate the token? In case that it has been stolen or something? It would be great to have an option to invalidate your own token (instantly, via forum) and get a new one instead (could be also automaticly generated at the moment of invalidation of the previous one).
In every case where a password is necessary, there also has to be a way to change that password in case you become even suspitious, that it has been compromised. Since the token is pretty much a password, i think the same logic should be aplied.
How it can be stolen? It could be intercepted while it is transmitted to the server. It will probably be stored somewhere in the PC, probably in the launcher folder, so if someone hacks your PC. Shared computers... I admit, chances are low, but not low enough.
This is meant to make you 100% safe, instead of worrying, whether you might face consequences or not.
