Account hacked - and restored - Question is..

#0 - Sept. 29, 2009, 1:35 a.m.

Now, most people QQ about getting their accounts back with everything stripped and missing, and a sad face.

However...

Today I had my account restored, after having it hacked via account merger... And to my surprise, I had more gear.

That's right, gear I never obtained. Better gear. New raid gear, better reputations and achievements.

Now, my account had been banned by whoever hacked into it, and I know interacting with items that may have been obtained in a malicious manner can get you banned.

So my question is... Am I allowed to use this stuff?

Free gear and gold isn't exactly what I was expecting. I'm as shocked as you all are... I just don't want to go through what I went through to get this account back.

A blue post would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Q u o t e:

thanks man well in my petition do i have to include the name of the items that i lost or do they look up what i had ?

A timeframe this happened is most helpful, especially if it was more than a few days ago. Your Specialist should be able to see everything that transpired.

Just leave that petition open if you need to logout and our Game Master staff will look into this for you just as soon as possible.

I am very sorry for the delay.

Q u o t e:

thank you very much this clears alot of my questions up i was very confused to whether or not my items would come back but now i get that it takes a few days so till then i should just lay low and maybe make a new character and wait ?

That would be fine, won't impact the investigation at all.
