They stripped my characters, sold my gold, got me banned and tried to do a race swap!. Ok blizzard are fabulous and fixed everything for me quite happily, i'm still quite unnerved that someone had the cheek to access my account like this. First world problem and I know IABU to play games at my age Grin

When we were burgled they took the memory cards for the playstation. I was gutted that years of game playing had gone. Never really got the interest back Sad

Get an authenticator! Had one for final fantasy 11/14 and one for wow since about 2006 and I've never been hacked. You can get the smartphone app for cheap / maybe even free. I have keyring ones and it is just automatic now to put the code in.

I must confess it was pretty funny when my LS (guild) leader was hacked on ff11 back in 2007. He came on ventrilo in a panic and about 10 of us stalked his hacked character between his bank and the mailbox, all with open GM tickets. Guess whose items got restored very very quickly Grin

I had a taxi driver try and convert me to eve once when he saw the final fantasy fob on my keyring!

Are you still in nestofvipers mrscog?

The guild was fab but everyone buggered off Sad.

Been in about 5 now and not found one I really like.

I vaguely remember the thread was it veknilash?

PariahHairy · 04/09/2013 04:43

Was indeed.

Well I am bored / insomniac so going to roll an adorable little goblin over there to occupy myself. I think I have a real ID friend over there on horde side from the 'friend finding' thread on official forums.

My guild is my bank guild, I think that's even worse than not being in one you like!

That's the one - Nest of Vipers on Veknilash. I've been busy with work, but will be back on next week. The guild is essentially dead at the moment, but I often find adult guilds tend to do really well over winter months when everyone's inside and then decline over the summer. Maybe we can have another go in the winter :)

It was ace though - the supportiveness of MN and the fun of wow!

fatdaddy72 · 05/09/2013 12:44

happened to me loads of times :(

However ...my name is fatdaddy72, I'm a wowaholic and have been wow free for 74 days now...
