Title: Got Hacked a Few Months Ago..
Post by: Black Wind on November 02, 2012, 09:39:29 am
Greetings cRPG community

A few months ago I was hacked and lost all my stuff... That's why my trade page has been down for anyone who may of been wondering..

I chose to address it now, as I stopped playing for a bit because of this (didn't address it on IRC, because timezome differences)

I lost:
+3 Mail Mittens
+3 Scimitar
+3 Grosse Messer
+3 Brown Rus Lamellar
+3 Shashka
+3 Lamellar Vest
+3 Great Long Axe
+3 Italian Sword

To someone from NA...

I'm an Australian player, and I earned some of these with a constant x1 multiplier. It was a really hard grind

I have also been playing for >2 years and I just had my efforts stripped from me...

So, I was told it might be a good idea to try a thread asking for any charity :)


I'm not expecting anything whatsoever to come of this, but figured it'd be worth a shot.

Thanks for reading and/or any patronage :)

You can contact me over steam for any reason. ID = hi_its_me

Then whats the problem? If he is hacked, and all the looms went to banned accounts... why can't they just be refunded?

Yeah, that's where I got the 'topic suggestion' from.. He said "Since it happened a few months ago, I can't help as it will take items from honest players, and they will lose their stuff ... "

Which is fair enough if you ask me..

hacked usually doesn't mean "give out your account password to 14 year olds" who then take what they please when they want

The Devs couldn't just give you brand new +3 items? They'd have to take the old ones?

No "that'd create an even bigger loom surplus than there is now"

Which is fair enough :)

What happened is the following:
Ricky who is banned since mid summer accessed his and two more accounts, ripped off something between 40-60 points worth of heirlooms, he then gave away all the stuff for nothing in return or traded loompoints to heirloom other +3 items and gave those away as well.
Highly likely that he sold the stuff off for rl cash.

Since this happened so long ago all items involved were traded over multiple people already and just reverting the trades is almost impossible.

What I will do is message everyone who got an item from ricky at that time without giving anything in return and get items from them.
I can not prove they payed rl money for it but no matter what they are the guys who got something without giving anything in return as far as I can tell.

This will take a while though since ricky used multiple accounts and even more chars to do all those trades.

I am sure in case I can actually get everything back Blackwind will return those items you are giving him right now since he seems to be a nice guy.

Also as he said we never do create new loompoints or items to return anything lost.
If I get the go from the overlords I'd rather hit him with some items from perma banned accounts, there are enough of those.

TBH if I was one of those guys, I'd want to give you your loom back. Maybe have the devs give those people some loom points in return for giving it back to you or something? (saw Meow's and the other posts above. Fair enough) Hate to see that you have to restart completely just because a hacker was able to spread it out among enough accounts.

This just makes me all the more happy I turned down Ricky's offer to "share heirlooms."

The bastard still owes me 50k, though. God damn it.

Best of luck, Black Wind. I hope you everything works out for you.

Some people...

Sucks to hear that man, takes what happened to me a while ago to an entire different level. I haven't played as much as most people and have been scammed myself so I can't offer you anything but condolences. However, I'll do my best to raise up an extra 10k(Currently sitting at that much just to cover my own costs ><) and send it your way to at least attempt to pay equip cost or something by the end of the week.
