i cant believe it

I've been involved in supporting MMO's since being a Game Master on EverQuest back in 2000.

EQ or Evercrack as I knew it was a blast, it was the first real good MMO IMO. Still remember it taking hours just to recover bodies from the planes. Sam, what server you play on?

I miss those days of naked corpse runs to the basement of KC! lol

Same thing happened to my friend. Although he didn't say he was hacked, all he told me was it was saying his password was wrong. He emailed support already.

This might b different, ur friend might have leave his account email user name on the login page of a device or chrome and someone failed several times to find the pass while tryin to log on.

In the past, for weeks had to reset my password nearly every day because i like to test PL and SL on new phones/tablets in different shops.
I didnt think to erase the email username...
Silly me.
I suppose someone else tried each time to log on and failed on all the devices i was on lol.


But then i hope we find answer soon for the possibly hacked account.
Really think is useless to hack a game -_-

Assuming a player is on cable internet like most of us, their IP address constantly (about weekly) changes.

Not quite so.
It doesn't change into something completely random. It'd still be inside the same network and outside access would be trivially detected. The odds of that other party being in the same network are next to nothing.

But I'm glad it got sorted out.

For the record, hacking is just rather untrivial. It doesn't happen like in the movies. Forceful penetrations are freakishly rare. They're virtually all random penetrations as a result of certain vulnerability having gotten targeted.

And those that get code inside, i.e. those that would have such capabilities as key logging and such needed to obtain access, would hardly be interested in some silly SL accounts. There's some real money to be made with that stuff and screwing around with some kid's game is just not it.

In this case my bet would have been those sharing the computer or those overlooking the password typing process (public terminals). In this day and age capturing the password as it's typed is simpler than most people realize (video camera in every freaking phone). So be careful with that.
