The options you set here are valid for your account and all of your characters (if applicable):
- Change Password
Change your password here. Note that it needs to have more than six characters. Please make sure you are using a Strong Password.
- Change E-Mail Address
By default, the e-mail address displayed here is the one you used to sign up. Please make sure it is always your current one, because the important password retreaval function will send your password to this address, should you ever forget it.
- Timezone
Select your timezone here. It will affect all places inside the game where times are displayed, including chats and forums.
- Use image pack
Here you can download the imagepack to copy most ingame images to your computer.
When playing the game, your system will refrain from downloading all often used images (for example all which are displayed on the nav screen) from the Pardus server, but will use them from your local computer. This way the game can be sped up a lot and are even able to completely customize the images.
If you encounter any problems with this option, please consult the Technical FAQ.

If set to enabled, you will see a dynamic calculation of prices when trading in planets or on starbases. On some computers this may lead to lag. If the trade screens are loading very slowly for you, try disabling this option.
- Disable e-mail login
For increased security you can choose to disallow logins using your e-mail address. This way possible hackers who already know your email address will need to get not only your password but also your account number. Make sure to not lose your account number if you enable this setting.
- Delete account
If you want to delete your account, type your account password here. Deletion here will trigger GNN news entries about all your characters' retirements. Note that there is no obligation to delete your account here if you do not want to play Pardus anymore. After one year of inactivity, accounts that never enjoyed a non-promotional Premium Account and that have no characters are automatically deleted.
Also, deleting your account is an irreversible choice.
Buildings and starbases vanish when the owner retires.
