If the opened the forums and closed them it would be from their normal IP anyway so it would be absolutely fine

security question popped up that you as the user would have set before hand. This way even if a hacker gets your password and logs in if he doesn't know your
security question then he can't access your account. In the case of the hacker logging into your account via In-Game client then when he hits "log in" a new
tab/window would open from his browser prompting the security question.
Also to make sure that the security question is actually impossible to guess I would recommend making both the answer and question completely custom by
having the user type it their self. Questions with drop down menus just aren't secure enough these days.
Or perhaps when the user logs on from their usual IP again they are told about the login and the location it was from, and they can flag it as suspicious or clear it as themselves logging in / attempting to log in

It would be best just to require email verification, then you can decide to change your password if you want to.
email verification every time you log on?? / log on from a new router? Sounds like a pain D:
