So something that has me concerned the past few days is I have seen random people that are not part of my guild or alliance and not on guest list (no one was on guest list at the time in fact) come into my GH, run around for a minute, then map out. I usually don't catch the names, one today was named Haxxorz..._??__..of Fire, missed the middle part but that was most of the name. I think some of the others started with haxxorz or something to the effect of hax as well. This has me kind of concerned if someone has found a way to hack people's halls. I wanted to see if anyone else has seen something similar before I sent a support ticket, as they usually tell me they need more proof or reports to do anything anyway. If it was a one-time occurrence I wouldn't think twice about it, but I have seen it several times this week, so something is definitely going on that shouldn't be.

Might've been an inactive guy who got kicked from your guild. If his char was in GH when his account got kicked from the guild, he's on the GH for a brief moment after logging, then he gets transfered to another outpost.

It's when you leave a guild or get kicked out of it, but you still have a character that last logged out in that guild hall, it'll login in that guild hall and get automatically kicked out of it after a few seconds.

Yes that was my first thought, but I run my guild and I know all my guild mate's alt names and also who comes and leaves, not to mention it shows in the status log. And again, several days in a row is suspicious, especially with someone with "Haxx" in the name.

Could be a person kicked ages ago - nothing new to have someone absent for 6 months suddenly appear online.

Nay of the Ether · Nov 26, 2010, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I guess...I'll just keep an eye on it

Another possibility is that it's someone with a guest invite.

DeanBB · Nov 26, 2010, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Do you have any allies? They have access to your hall and you don't see them on your roster.

mechanizeddeath · Nov 26, 2010, 10:39 PM // 22:39

I'm also thinking it's an alliance member. They may have been checking for hall NPCs, if you don't have any that would account for the short stay. I used to utilize an alliance hall for the traders when mine didn't have them, and I had a few members wonder how I got into their guild hall.

Allies show up with a gold tag though.

Since he has "Haxxorz" in his names gets me thinking he might be using some illegal stuff to get around. Dunno how such a hack would work tho. Might be that he's guest invited buy a guild in your alliance.
