" Eldyrus wrote: How about this suggestion: If you get hacked and your items stolen, maybe you can get access to temporary non-tradable items and skill gems that expire after one month. That way it can give you a chance to do some farming and recover and it still will not affect the economy. Just a thought. Why would someone need these items to farm? You can farm with random crap just fine. People get spoiled with high end gear and fail to remember that the game is still playable without it.

No...just no, if it was server side do you realize just how many accounts would be compromised?...pretty much all of them, there wouldn't be one or 2 reports per week about getting "hacked" over the last few months there would be hundreds if not thousands. I wouldn't waste my time and effort in compromising GGG security just to rob some low level players, I'd be going straight to AXN. Sorry for your loss Killipse, if you want some gear I can help you out in Standard. I've not got anything awesome, but plenty to get you back on your feet. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future!	Posted by CaptainWaffleIron on Nov 14, 2015, 6:55:29 PM Quote this Post

If you have compromised the servers you could just create your own rares and blame some supporter/dev for all in the logs.	Posted by Hilbert on Nov 15, 2015, 5:16:57 AM Quote this Post
Hello, today I finished cleaning the malware from my PC and I had nothing, and as I explained in previous emails I only have a Steam account. I explain again how I proceeded: I entered the game from Steam. then a sign appears in the game which has a very long text and only I clicked agree and continue, I don't remember well but then I think I remember that I was wondering whether to link or enter from steam and that's what I did, then it asks me for a new nickname which I put in and when I finally can access the game I no longer even have my characters nor my stash. I just want to recover my account where I can invest money. which is the only account where he spent time playing. I repeat that I only play from Steam. Please I hope someone human reads this and tries to help me, I have all the information they ask for even complete purchase history or videos showing my steam account. From already thank you very much. The support people don't help me, I don't know how to sue this.	Posted by Deleted on Sep 20, 2023, 9:55:46 PM

Please just lock thread that more than 5 years old (or may be 3 or 1...) Nerco a decade old thread for what? This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee. About the username: Did you know Kowloon Gundam is made in Neo Hong Kong? quote from the first page: "Please post one thread per issue, and check the forum for similar posts first" This is the end of forum signature	Posted by neohongkong on Sep 25, 2023, 5:00:43 AM Quote this Post
Still relevant tho, and it was a nice trip down memory lane to when GGG communicated with us.	Posted by Pangaearocks on Sep 25, 2023, 6:07:54 AM Quote this Post

This is a little ironic coming from a game that really pushes players to rely so heavily on 3rd party content to exist. :D	Posted by Shardbearer on Sep 25, 2023, 8:41:33 PM Quote this Post
