Re: Email Confirmation
Here is a nice little tutorial for PBBGs, and here is the email confirmation system.
Note however that most PBBGs do not confirm email anymore. It is mostly now seen as a needless barrier to entry, with many competing games actually advertising that they don't require an email address. You can't really do much with it besides sending out coupons and ads, and even that will likely get you blacklisted from every major email provider due to a combination of forgetful players and user-flagging spam systems. It doesn't keep out malicious users since almost everyone uses non-ISP email addresses that you can get in under a minute, without any identifiable info. So it really is a decision these days for PBBG devs on whether or not to require confirmation.
