Curse

Yesterday after playing for a few hours then switching between characters, I got the message saying that "Your account is not authorized currently to play Guild Wars."

Does anyone know of any reason how an account can suddenly become unauthorized? Has anyone experienced this before?

I have already contacted the Guild Wars support. They just asked for my character names and then said that my problem has been "escalated" to a senior member of the team and said they will contact me. But it's been almost 24 hours since their last email. Based from your experiences, do they really take long to come out with a solution? Do they have support on weekends?

Thanks.

This is a very serious problem this means either :

A: Someone stole your cd-key and is using it malicously
B: You downloaded the game from a P2P service, and have been caught

Worst case senario you have to buy a new cdkey

A) Could be, but I definitely hope not.
B) No I didn't download the game from a P2P service.

I'm in the process of completing/buying all the monk skills (completed ranger and warrior already). I definitely do not want to start from scratch again.

did you download anything lately, Niklos?
there might have been a nasty in it that watches and nicks yer key, so update or grab a anti-spyware and anti trojen and worm program to make sure...
