View Full Version : A Warning to new players

Hello,
I decided to put this in the "New Player" section of the forums because I'm pretty sure the older players are aware and are smarter than falling for these types of scams.
There is a player roaming through Alterra advertising a false website that will "give" you 800 plat for FREE. This is NOT TRUE, what this player is doing is waiting for newer players to take the bait, enter their email in the website and bam, your account gets stolen just like that. I have seen this player on multiple character's which hints this player is stealing accounts daily. For example, I saw a L51 Bear wearing Hate Armor, a Winter Festival Candle and a Crimson Holo Shield, then he was on a L60 Bear wearing Mystery Armor and L60 Nuri's gear (like a newer player would do). I've already sent emails to support about this and this is just a warning to newer players.
Good on you, Kevin!
Way to warn the newer players, dude. :)

I talked to a person who did this (let's say that person is X), X made a website and paid people in game to post on his website. A very well forumer, Elyseon, took the bait and entered his username and password. X went on to his account,and stole 45 million gold worth of items. I talked to X today, and this is how our conversation went:
Me: Hey X, where did you get the demonic dagger set?
X: I bought it
Me: From whom?
X: CS
Me: Why would you buy it in the cs when you could get a discount buying it as a set? Wouldn't you want to make a profit?
X: I don't want to make a profit
Lawl.

There was also paying for advertisement. The website person says "paying for advertising. 200k per hour!" and sure enough someone fell for it and started advertising for them and farming reports...

Wasn't it a Website which was a copy of the forums or so (Zombie's Website).
There was a thread in PL's Market about it, I just googled that website but It wasn't available anymore.

The website Zombie was advertising was different from this one. They all serve the same purpose though, to steal your account.

Only trust Two websites.
The game
The forums
Anything else is redundant and full of credibility issues.

Report, mute and move on. This scammer was actually Crankybearsm, he created a website and started to advertise last year. Delphina locked that thread, telling us to report and that she will include this issue to the meeting.
