    My account was just hacked or something, the password was changed.
    I know I was typing in the same password and everything. Caps Lock was off.
    I changed the password back through pw recovery...so, yeah.
    I had 28,950 or something around there when I left and now I have 28,850.
    Not that it really matters, it's only 100 creds.
    Just thought I should inform you. ^_^ I hope to god it doesn't happen again.

    Edit:
    If I made any PMs the last day...they weren't from me...I checked to see if I had any new ones, but I don't.

    People, its not "hacking". They just guessed your password, or figured it out somehow, not with a program, just commen sense, too much time, and or its related to something about you...

    yeh hacking isnt guessing or getting someones password somehow. You mite hvae been fined but it doesnt explain why you lost your password. I suggest PMing a admin and getting them to check out the IPs that have recently been on your account and see if 100 creds have been sent anywhere.

    You have been PMed with the info you requested, but it doesn't seem as though your account has been used in any transactions or anyone else apart from you has logged into your account.

    Don't worry, I made sure my password was weird and not about me, and it wasn't like 5 letters either, because I knew someone would try and hack into my account, so I doubt someone guessed my password.
