Ok so i just recovered a old account earlier this week by doing a password recovery. Just recently as i was playing i was kicked off a few times. At first i jsut thought it was internet or something cause it usually screws up during the night but now when i try to login in my password doesnt work and i got a email saying that it was changed. Ok so i go back to account management and try to recover my password again but it says there has been too many recovery attempts made recently.

I was wondering if this may just be one of the update/password problems posted earlier this morning or is there really someone else on my account?
Also, how long does it take before i can try to recover my password again?

It truly sounds as if another player has gained access to your account. Before you do anything else, I strongly recommend securing your computer and registered e-mail address to ensure that no one else is able to access your account information once you've reclaimed the account a second time. For more information on how to do this, please review the following thread:

Once you are absolutely certain that your computer and e-mail are secure, take a quick look at the following sticky for more information regarding account retrieval:

As is stated in the aforementioned stickies, you will need to call our Billing Department to reclaim control of the account since you are unable to do so with the password retrieval tool. Billing and Account Services can be reached using one of the following numbers:
