My help is to offer advice!


1st off, the likelihood of your account getting stolen or hacked is slim to none. So if you say it was hacked/stolen, chances are no one will believe you.


The most likely cause of losing your account is that you gave it away! When you give your account to another person you should not assume you will get it back. In fact, in some cultures it is not polite to give someone something then ask for it back.


If you like your characters and account, please keep it!


Most of us love the STS games and appreciate the effort the Developers put into the game. When they have to constantly respond to requests from people who are having seconds thoughts about giving their accounts away, it takes them away from more important/relevant issues.


Remember, for the millionth time "Do not give your email/password to anyone!"

Yeah. You get them back and the person also keeps them. It's a double your items trick.

Hey All,

Please click on over to a post I made yesterday entitled, "And Now, A Word From Your Customer Support Team..."

It deals with gifting rather than sharing account information, but the message is the same.

For the TL;DR crowd, here's the important bit:

Please always keep in mind that we are on the Internet, and that there is no way to be sure who's on the other side of the connection. No matter how many raids you do together, no matter how much you hang out in-game or on the forums, unless you know someone in meatspace, there's no way to be sure that they're as cool as they've made themselves out to be.

It's a cynical way to view the world, but you can never be too careful.

I believe CrimsonTider means a spit-take. :)

For my next trick, I'll make him shoot milk out of his nose.

Thats not a scam you werent paying attention. You can not report someone for a mistake u made. For ex.

Anyone silly enough to make their own thread about being scammed will surely disregard this thread. Also, there's one known as Gnosis whose purpose in life is to reply to support tickets. The noobs give him/her a reason to live.
