This exact same thing happened to a guildie of mine. He had his CD keys and managed to ultimately change his password...

however, as for your characters, there is no rollback. Any damage the hacker has done is permanent. Sorry.

One question I have is - why do you keep logging out and then "watching to see if the other guy logs in". Why don't you just stay logged into GW until you get it cleared up? The other guy can't log in while you are. You can even minimize GW and continue to do other things while you're logged on. To minimize bandwidth, just sit in the Guild Hall (if you have one) or go to some obscure town in the International district.

It should be pretty easy to get him banned.

Actually, the other guy can log on while his cousin is on. In fact if his cousin is logged on the game will kick him so that the other guy can log.

So, no, that's not gonna work.

Exactly. It should also be noted that he can go to the character select screen without anyone seeing him and delete to his hearts content.

=> Yes, it won't work lol! What you can do is trying to make him logging in your account again and ask "Game Master" from Anet investigate their IP. Everytime you log on, your IP show up and save in the game. I'm sure it won't be a prob for GM. When GM have his IP, he's in dam trouble lol. That mean everytime he log on with that IP, his account get banned lol! Good luck! Though there are ways to change IP but it will always be reset to default unless he changes it everytime he get on the net lol!

Thank you guys for all your input. We salvaged all the items we could from his account - and traded everything basically to his brother's account (We all play together - lan sometimes). You have to leave at least one character on the account at all times and the "hacker" left the W/Mo assuming that was his favorite while he deleted his furthest character that he played the most (his monk).

I couldn't figure out why he left the W/Mo until he contacted me and said he would leave the tank for 100k. I had this money, which I'm giving a good portion to my cousin now, but I remember the rule about keeping one character and turned him down.

They are currently trying to verify that my cousin does own the account to get the password changed. This guy still has the nerve to long on and FARM on the w/mo he left. Once again, I'm not going to announce his name just in case that would jeopardize our chance of getting him back.

As to how get got the password...i have no clue. Maybe he broke through the yahoo account my cousin uses and found an e-mail with his guildwars info. He wouldn't just give out the password but since he plays the game on 5 different computers, it is very hard to determine what he could have possibly downloaded. Is it possible that something like a key logger could have been attached to a build file on the guild wiki? I'm fairly certain he downloads builds from them and I have no clue as to how reliable that is.

I'll go ahead and post an update once this gets cleared up. I'm sure the ip logs and the screenshots are more than enough proof to get him so let's just see.

Thanks for your help.
