ALL weapons GONE (from character and PM).. hacked?

Unfortunately though, if it is a case of someone getting knowledge of your password and logging on your account, I doubt SoA will do anything to help you. Unlike the hacking we had a while back that was caused by their security holes (and up to now they still haven't been able to restore people's stuff), this really isn't their fault.

ST has been compensating those who have been hacked. They summed up the value of the lost goods, then reinburse you with an option of one to two picks at 5 optional compensation packages. I've seen someone get a choice at some rare weps, furniture, units, and 20 mil. I'm sure this person lost a lot, for him to get such choices. But yeah, ST is actually taking a step up, as opposed to the past.

But yeah, I'm not sure if this situation calls for reinbursment. Here's to hoping!

If I find two Bico's, the second one is yours! (Don't tell Basi, he'll impale me with a kitchen knife and I'll be shipped along the east coast as pulled pork >_>)

Oh, I must be late on the news then... Last I had heard, ST were still looking into how they could return lost stuff.

This sounds like a case of someone guessing your password. It sounds like the perpetrator sold your items at the Variety Shop and logged off.

If there's enough evidence (perhaps logs of radically different IP address during aforementioned period) then a case for compensation might be able to be made.

thank you for the information, it's going to help me organize my complaint to ST (working on right now).

confirmed:
- i went to check on my meseta and i was at 1.9 mil.... last time i logged off i was at ~700K. so whoever did this sold everything to the variety shop... *nauseated*

this sucks hard. i dont know anyone who would have a motive to do this to me personally, so it just seems like a really random act. i hope ST can help me out.

thanks for your support too guys! i'll be working my way back to something decent again

I don't know if this is different for PS2, but would they also have to guess your username? Or is that available somewhere else in the game?

It seems like quite a weird event though, I don't know why the heck anyone would guess someone's password just so they could log on and sell their things, and not even take the money from it... talk about being bored. You sure you don't sleepwalk at night?

I hope everything works out for you at least!

[Tita]

yeah, i seriously thought i was going crazy or something O_O

and i highly doubt a username would be visible anywhere in the game aside from the log in screen in (i've never been able to view).

right now my nephew is telling me about someone he had to blacklist during the short time he was playing (he was being excessively abusive to other players as well), and i do remember this person being really annoying, like suspiciously so. this person plays on a PC. unfortunately, i can't put anymore weight on that speculation, but that player is the only player i can think of who would be crazy enough to hold a grudge on me (and possibly others?).

i hope this isn't the case, and Sega's IP check on the log ins would be more revealing anyway.
