[quote='Diamndzngunz',index.php?page=Thread&postID= 29409#post29409]Talk to a GM also. They can TRY to get you your stuff back. So I think. Also be very carefully what you download. Make sure its a reliable source[/quote]Be very careful with this now. I am not saying you are being dishonest in any way. There are people that have others log on and "steal" peoples accounts, sell items, take gold and have the accounts recovered. Later on down the road they get the gold back from their buddy and have a boat load of cash, cloned items.... then a knock on the door, or a letter in the mail saying you have now committed Electric fraud. Yes folks these actions are not seeing court. Your Accounts get banned and you can end up with jail time, fees, and Public service. The law is finally catching up to technology.

There is really only 2 effective ways to "hack" an account:
1. is keylogger trojan horse and this is not easy to get.
2. Your friend, buddy, guild mate you trust did it. 99.9% of the time The IP ends up being someone you know that you gave access to your account. I wanted into by buddies room and he had is account information right on the table and it was as easy as his name and a word. Needless to say I logged onto his account and created a toon named Fatcamp and made a little gnome. Then I took his hearth stone away got him naked and ran him all the way into the top of the cave in winterspring. (on his main) with a little not attached "you have been hacked"


Now I know some of the bad guys. I admit freely that some times on my server I had gold farmers I would loan gold to. There is a guild on my server that had several of them in it. What they would do is they sold their gold to IGE people. I in pre-BC would take a rogue/druid/druid into Dire Maul and recoverthe book [url='http://thottbot.com/v261856']Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying[/url] There was a bug for a few months where this thing was dropping at a rate of 25%. I sold 11 for 2k-7k Thats right 7K. The price dropped so I had to sell em for 1100-3k I also bought some off China god bless them for 900g

Long story short I got into a guild and then really started to care about my fellow gamers and Quit that business
