Scams

I have just had to tell another player they are screwed because yet again they gave their account information to someone they thought they trusted, and ended up getting a character stripped down and deleted.

Deleted characters we can restore, but they will be in the state they were when deleted. Stolen items we will not help you with. This is the internet, people have no problem stabbing eachother in the back with a friendly face.

You must not give your account information out, and in most cases we will not assist in these matters. I say in most cases because our guides have a mandate that they are in no way obligated to spend the massive amount of time it takes to track down and reverse it, nor can we always take a player's word that the actions were done maliciously. If a guide assist(s/ed) you, consider yourself lucky.. it is completely their discretion.

With that said, you should never give your password out, nor should you ever perform a trade with someone until both parties are ready with the items/currency (none of this "oh give me the item and I'll log onto my main and pay you" crap. We've been seeing an increase in this activity lately as well, sometimes the culprit even impersonating someone you may think is a friend, so be careful.)

I am actually surprised that people are so trusting on this server. =/

I fell victim to this shit but Sirken and Rogean were kind enough to help. It's sad really that people are so lame. I dunno maybe it's been too long, but on live I would share my info with tons of people within my guild and never once had a single fear my char would be deleted. I can only speak for the red server but I guess the type of human beings there are a special group. Never sharing info with anyone again, you shouldn't either.

You should flag the scammers accounts as red, so anyone can attack them at will. Would be fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
