If you got your account back it shouldn't be a problem.

This happened to me a few times and I'm pretty sure it's a glitch b/c it changed back to the pw I made the account with.

There is really no way a "hacker" can get the passwords directly from the game.

I don't even think blank can view passwords.

If it is a hacker/person trying to get your password he's using a keylogger.

So best to do a virus scan.

Wrong, Blank can view passwords. There was a command for us in beta but after so many accounts got stolen we stopped dealing with account theft enless it was staff.

You could probably do it with database access too, I'd bet, but I don't think that anyone could manage that.

Let me just say: Enough to make us stop dealing with it.

That used to be true, but not anymore. Blank (or any admin) can't dirrectly view your password anymore. All passwords are put into the database encrypted as a MD5 hash string. Blank can view those, but he'd need to know what a hash means to decrypt it.

Btw vB does that, and pawn gets the account info from vB.

Indeed, in beta we had /changepassword!

which helped me get my pass back after flex owned me ;_;

ANyway, unless you have a keylogger....

Plus.. <.< If it's "stolen" Why are you here? <.<'??
