I prolly had a keylogger, so noone should worry for that.
My problem is that my antivirus system can't find shit on my harddrives : (
So im kinda afraid of logging into stuff.

Guys, you definately should be looking for keyloggers, trojans, and bot-net viruses. You can get them from MSN, Facebook, and Myspace. Be sure not to click on any links people send you, friend of yours or not. Hackers can get just as much if not more for your Login/PW for GW as they can for a stolen credit card number.

Are you not being just a bit to para..........noid?

It could be that they are trying to figure out what is happening and will make a statement when they find the answer.

chfanfiction · Aug 19, 2008, 01:41 PM // 13:41

I haven't gotten the update, but I think I'll uninstall GW before I go on vacation...

EDIT: I haven't actually gotten the update, I don't think. The only one I downloaded recently was the double green weekend thing. However, I DID get a VERY suspicious e-mail from someone who said they were taking a survey. I didn't fill it out, but I went to their site. Is it possible by going to their site i allowed in viruses?

distilledwill · Aug 19, 2008, 01:42 PM // 13:42

I just loaded quite a few new files, had a hard time connecting before and after the update. Eventually got on and everything was ok. Didnt really see any changes.

Regina has responded, and ANet is looking into it. It seems to be pretty varied, and they appreciate any useful information about people's experiences with this "update".

I was a bit nervous - still am - since it wasn't an official update. Nothing posted about what it was, or might be. But, I've been back on and haven't lost anything. (Not that I have much anyone would want to steal - no huge storage of plat or ectos or lockpicks - not much elite armor, etc.)

Like others on here, my "update" happened late Sunday, stuck at 99% for about 2 minutes, then closed and restarted like normal. I haven't seen any changes in gameplay. I don't run any 3rd party programs nor mods. Hopefully some glitch with the update server?

Where did she reply? I couldn't find anything on her talkpage, I'm not supposed to log on GW at work (but will update the client anyways

) and I don't think I've seen her on Guru. I could've missed the post though, wouldn't be surprised... hehe.

Anyways, I'm gonna leave some detail here...

Location: Quebec, Canada.
North American account.

- First computer. Client is updated whenever because it's my main comp.
I had the update Sunday as well, thought it was a bug fix patch. I checked on Wiki and couldn't find details, so I just shrugged it off and didn't report it. I found it weird though. It tired updating it twice; failed the first time, succeeded the second.

- Second computer. Client isn't updated often, not my own comp.
I updated the client again yesterday during the evening, got the normal (big) updates since I hadn't logged on it for 2 months or so. I logged off GW to cook, and when I logged back on I had the strange update. Just like the other computer, the update failed at first, but the second one was completed just fine.

- Third computer. My laptop, client must be pretty effing old.
Going to update the client once my boss goes away. Think they have a press conference this afternoon, I should be safe.

3rd-party programs... doubt so. Texmod is on my computer but I haven't touched it in months, same thing with GWx2. Since then, I formatted the main drive where GW was installed, and not too long ago (maybe 3 weeks) I switched all my games on another drive, separate from my general download folder where Texmod and GWx2 are.

I got the update last night, it stopped at 99% and I didn't feel like missing GvG so I exited ran the /image thing and got back in fine. Only programs I had running were vent and IE.

Thanks for that, didn't even see it... not the first time I'd miss something along the lines >_<. On page 2 too. /doh

Dark-NighT · Aug 19, 2008, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Ive had a number of these updates, they never fail to update and the game seems unaffected for now, but i am a bit worried.

Now i never actually go to websites i shouldnt be on in the first place so im not really afraid i will get hacked or whatever, but i will do some more virus and spyware scans just to be sure.

I MP I · Aug 19, 2008, 04:26 PM // 16:26

I just got 2 items downloaded as I started up the game. Oh the weirdness. No problems logging in though.

Snow Bunny · Aug 19, 2008, 04:33 PM // 16:33

I haven't had to download anything, and I think I booted up the game maybe 5 times last night.

It's just very strange...
