Rogean - it's not that I don't have faith in your abilities its just your servers aren't as secure as you may believe. I'd look a little deeper.

O rly? I just use 12345. If it's good enough for Spaceballs, it's good enough for me.

12345? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard! That's the kind of thing an idiot would use on his luggage.

I will not say this happened nore that is didn’t. I will say that is it a shame that now we have to worry about someone getting into our accounts and making a profit off of a free game that is for everyone to enjoy. I guess it is still true [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] only takes a few bad people to mess it up for everyone else.

It is sad that this happens, but we all know it does. But a good way to avoid this is to stay off any funky websites that might be shady that corresponds with the project 1999 server and or just update your password to a complex password with Numbers / letters / uppercase. Change it once or twice a month as you feel need.

Seems like a lot of people are far afield of the original issue here. I am not certain that my account was hacked (an imprecise and excessively connotative word, I know), nor am I bitching about being banned. I play quite rarely, my one character having only reached level 23 after a year of existence. All I know is this:
1. No one but me knows my login info
2. I have never personally broken the server's rules
3. My account was banned for RMT
4. Uthgaard produced a log showing quite irrefutably that a character on my account of which I have never heard received 50k from a plat seller

This is just a heads-up for you folks. I am essentially illiterate about web security, and cannot say with any accuracy how/why/if there are "hackers" (sounds too much like the "government" or the "mob" often implicated in JFK's murder, now that I use it again) running around here, but just wanted to recommend that you guys keep an eye out for anything like this.

@gcobb, cant he also show a log of who that 50k plat was traded to, thereby revealing the true criminal? I know they have those on record
