That's the one thing i hate about having email as account name, if they can find out your email and hack into it they're halfway into your gw account.

Totaly true, they should have more security measures.

Kariston The Swift · Jul 23, 2006, 05:34 AM // 05:34

I believe that happened to several people from what I've heard. Several forums were hacked including either War Machine's or EvIL's and several people got their accounts stolen because they used the same pass and email for the forum as their Guild Wars account.

when i was playing again i was shocked my the message u have been logged out because someone else has logged in with your account

Read these two carefully..

ofcourse i tried to log in again still same msg other player is playing on my account

If you state that you were logged in and then someone also logged in, which kicked you off, wouldn't that have done the same thing to the person who logged onto your account?

Don Zardeone · Jul 23, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

....

Did you write down your pw on a piece of paper?

eh...

....

sir wan · Jul 23, 2006, 07:02 AM // 07:02

After I was kicked off I tried to get in again but I kept getting the message someone else is playing with you account unable to loggin.
You would think that the person that was playing under my account would be kicked of as soon as I logged in again which wasnt the case.
And to Don I did write down my password but it was in a 100% safe place.
And I know they didnt get my pass with forum registration trick, because I used an unique 12 digit long password that I only used for guild wars.

ischuros · Jul 23, 2006, 09:30 AM // 09:30

Well, were you playing in any internet cafes, accessing your email in any cafes? It may be a longshot but there could be a 'hacker' looking over your soulder n those places, if you do use them.

Silent Kitty · Jul 23, 2006, 10:56 AM // 10:56

You still have your original disk, right? It should be some use to you, because it is proof that you are owner of that account. GW support should do something with that information. When you send them your key, that should be at least one indication that there is something wrong. Writing down a key code is not enough, but it should be ground to further investigate.

sir wan · Jul 23, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

To ischuros I had not played in any internet cafes or on other people's computers, so that couldnt be it.

At Silent Kitty yes I do still have my original guild wars and factions games.
Complete with activation card with scratch layer in factions and the paper that you had to rip open in guild wars containing my serials.
And I have the receits from the stores where I bought the games all of which I can fax or send pic to them.
But they need to reply to me first which they havnt done yet, but there was a weekend between it.
So im just gonna have to wait and see.

maraxusofk · Jul 24, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

hope u get ur stuf back man. this happened to me before. im pretty paranoid so i make lots of different passwords for lots of dirrent things with 15 differnt emails. yes its a pain in the ass but its reliable. unforutnalty i did get hacked a few weeks back. prob cuz some guy at a place called vanteus in san fran installed keyloggers on all the computers. luckily, after i got botted i imediately relogged on, changed pword, and changed email. since then, i do taht reguarly. gl man. OH and btw, customize all ur valuables ppl so u cant get ur items stolen.

8. Do Not Abuse the English Language

This is a message board, not a chat room. Secondly, Don't use "Leet-Speak" here. As such, you have all the time necessary to articulate your posts in a coherent matter. "You" is only two more letters than "u." It won't kill you to type them. Completely illegible posts are subject to moderation - and I can't guarantee their accuracy of 'translating' the author’s original message.

Additionally, when one punctuation works instead of 10 (example: ? instead of ?!?!), use one.

I agree with you completely Olfin, but it has proven pointless to address this subject, in general. In regards to your quote:

"As such, you have all the time necessary to articulate your posts in a coherent matter."

Articulate:

One can only use this word when referring to verbal or phonetic examples ( talking,speach), not writing.

Matter:

I believe you mean "form", the use of the word "matter" to refer to written material is a common error.

Other then these two mistakes, i agree with you.

In regards to account hacking, hope Anet or some one can help you out. ( the guy that lost the account, not Olfin

)

Anyway, I dont think theres anything you can do, sorry.

I compleatly dissagree if u have many passworded things make small changes to each on like

exp.Meowmix for gw and Meowmix 910 for email

sorry that u got hackd

@Nocere Moriari

And I agree with you that it`s pointless to address this. If I did, that`s all I`d be doing when posting but according to Webster the 4th definition of articulate is: 4.Characterized by the use of clear, expressive language: an articulate essay.

Anywhoo, I cut and pasted that from the forum rules so their words not mine.

sir wan · Jul 24, 2006, 08:06 AM // 08:06

Yes maraxusofk I could of had customized all my valuables but im a business man

.
And I have gotten very paranoid also after it happend to me.
I use zonealarm firewall,spyware doctor and free avg.
And I also found the probable cause of the hacking.
While scanning with spyware doctor i stumbled upon a trojan banker

.
some info:
Trojan.Banker.DK is a trojan that aims at stealing online banking information like username and password from the victim machine and sending it to its creator through SMTP.
But it can also steal username and passwords and instal keyloggers.

Glad you agree, about the dictionary definition... no body is perfect. The forum rules made a mistake no big deal. I did not find that definition in any dictionary ( looked at webster 2005, 1984 and 1979) and on a couple on line.
I am not disagreeing or implying anything, and don't want to ensue in an offence. Not to mention that this is off the subject. But i will keep looking around.
So let me salute you and express my allegiance to you in regards to the protection of the Indo-European Germanic language that is English
