someone accessed my account (somehow) and sold everything i had.

any idea how they might have done this? (and no i have never given my password to ANYBODY)

i have the name of who did it. because they sent me a /tell laughing about it later

That is horrible. I would report their name to a GM. I'm sure there's a way for that sort of thing to be tracked, even if you didn't get a screenshot.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Sorrier still that the GMs once again prove how useless they are.

With the name/server, you can track down their POL account....why not do it yourself if GM's won't?

Have you used any 3rd party programs? Game window minimizer? Bot program? If so, it may have had a keystoke logger and sent them your password.

i dont use 3rd party programs because they violate the TOS

First, 3rd party programs Do not Break the TOS..this is a common misconception. Look up their stance on Absentee play in your POL viewer. According to their own TOS They allow 3rd party programs SO long as they are not unattended, or circumventing game measures, EG: speed hack is illegal, however Something I have written for alot of people, a Dancing macro, ( Tarus ) which does emotes in specified patterns and says things and accepts donations..is perfectly legal to use. as two good examples.

Next, There are chatlogs maintained in your POL folders on your C Drive..I suggest you search through those chat logs if that person said that, and it was recent you should almost definitaly have a log of it which you can present to a GM, if the GM still does not do anything, Call SE. And keep escalating it until someone helps you. I have found that SE themselves Are Extremely concerned about their customers and Will help. GMs I dont really consider SE...just low wage workers who are collecting a paycheck..there are a few good ones...few..

Minkasui

Server - Titan
Nation - Windurst
Job - Black Mage
Level - 52
Race - Mithra
H-ID - 00-2019664

Hope this helps somewhat.

Edit - And PLEASE do what Tivia sugguests. You are the only one that can pin this on the hacker, it's up to you to persue it.

Omg Minkasui is a bad mithra, I really hope you'll get your stuff back! I would donate if I were on your server...

Don't forget to change your password before you reobtain your items. If you don't, the hacker can always dump your items again.

Prrsha · Post by **Prrsha** » Thu Nov 04, 2004 8:51 pm

Also if talking to square doesn't work, you can always make a stink about it on the alakazam boards. If enough of the populace gets rilled up about it, square may do something about it.

At the very least, it will drag the hacker's name through the mud.

the very FIRST thing i did WAS change my password

I'm so sorry to hear that this isn't working out for you. That's absolutely horrible.

Yeah, Allakazham does have it's fair share of vultures.

I wish there was something I could do for you.

I wish there was something i could do for you, too, but I'm not on your server so I wouldn't know where to start, really.
