As a past MMORPGer, let me sympathize and say that fucking blows. And there's nothing the company can do about it? I'd think signs of hacking would be obvious but I'm not a hacker, so maybe not.
They say to email them with all the info I have - which isn't much - and they'll probably shut down my account for a day to try and recover stuff/investigate.
Whats weird about all this is that whoever did it wasn't smart AT ALL and left a ton of stuff behind. I just get this picture in my head of those ID theft commercials and me speaking with a 14 yr old boy's voice talking about all neat shit he bought in game.
If you send in enough tickets, you should be able to get back all your armor that was a quest reward. I don't think they will give back your gold or anything you can't prove you got in a quest, because they are stupid jerks who deserve to die. This happened to a couple of my guildies. Also, get the addon called "auctioneer," and use it to make yourself some cash. My husband made 3000 gold in like a month with it. Also also, the good money comes from being 60, so soldier on, soldier. Sorry about the haxx. :(
Yeah, I actually just got auctioneer last week and was *finally* starting to see some gold come in from it. Most of the stuff that I had invested in and needed to throw back up on the AH was in my bags :( Luckily the BF has over 400g so he should be able to support my broke ass.
My guild master (go "Puppies and Rainbows"! btw *g*) said that people seem to get the best results from calling their phone line, so if I don't see any action by tonight, I'm calling. I'll raise a stink, if only because this was their security flaw, not my stupidity.
Strange that you say they won't give back gold, etc, because on their recovery page they say they can/will. Ah, well, we'll see. Grrr.
They might give you quest reward gold, but as far as I remember, if you can't "prove" you had it, they are jerks about it. I hope they give you back your gold, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Or take up a collection from Puppies and Rainbows. Isn't that what guildies are for? :D
