^^^ lol at that

ive played 50000 hours on GW.........

yeah i agree with the password hting...just an example using one of my old passwords (WsfJf_74Jghui55)

think anyone is going to guess that?...not likly unless you get lucky mashing keys

virus things i dont think they will work that well but go for it good ones will stop anything

true if you hack an account first thing is to change password (fluffyx)

unless the hackers purpose was just to delete his chars.

cause 5 minutes to clear chars then delete em? how many did the op have?

but no one can do crap about it and they won't bother to try.

It seems like a lot of people think Anet is uncaring and cold when it comes to things like this, but I mean realistically, is there one online game where if your account gets hacked you get your characters restored ?
Think for a second of the can of worms that would be opened the minute a company decided they would try to restore poor Billy's acct. They would be immediatley buried in requests for acct restoration, lot easier to farm greens this way,and quickly bankruptcy would follow. And before I get torched by the naysayers, Im sure in this day and age there probably "could" be a system of acct. restoration that would work,I think we do have the technology, but it will never happen, there are too many schiesters, and con artists just waiting to exploit the next game breaking bug, and that is what acct restoration would be, game breaking.
All that being said, I feel the OP's pain, Im sure I would feel rightly ripped off, and horribly discouraged. May your drops in the near future bring you much wealth.

EDIT: srry couldnt help but notice this.....

I hope this is an honest attempt at humor
GW's has only been out, what 3 yrs, a little less, was released in April of 2005, sooo this April it'll be 3 no ? That means that 50000 is a wicked exxageration as you cannot even play 50000 hrs in that amount of time. more like half that and that would be playing 24hrs a day. ie theres only 8760 hrs in a year. LOL that is some serious playing time.

From experience, I know that when someone logs on when you're playing, it kicks you with an error message that SAYS you lost the connection because someone else logged on. So, if this was indeed the case, he should know. Unless he doesn't read error messages.

Even so, it only takes a second to log back on. If the game itself crashed (ie, not just booted back to the log screen) then something else happened.

And no, I wasn't hacked.

almost every mmorpg ive played has restored charecters to accounts.

so actually, this is the only online game ive played that doesnt.

WoW restores your character if it has been hacked. My raid leader got hacked and in 3-4 weeks she got back her stuff courtesy of Blizzard.

well at least you have the patience to restart.

The leader of my last guild got her account hacked and unaccessible 2 times..i think shes on her 3rd account.

and on a good side, at least you still have some money and items in your storage, and the skills unlocked.
