Hope for Stolen accounts increase 0.1Follow

Hmm there's another post saying the same thing now. Looks like this might really happen? Maybe keeping those registration codes wont be as useless as they've turned out to be so far, after all?


Although I will say this. By the time the snail mail (if they go that route) reaches Cali, or Japan, or wherever the center is in Europe it will probably be too late.

Fax or gtfo. :3

Scanner > Scan bank/credit card details (statement) > Email. Play.com needed "extra information" from me before sending my brother a SATA DVD-RW, so I scanned in my bank statement, blanked out my subcription fee to "bunny girls monthly" and emailed it, was sorted quite quickly.

My only concern is the loss of gil/items accounts suffer, unless SE have a policy of replacing all items (and deleting them from people who now have the items), it's like getting a stolen car back, sans door, windows, wheels, stereo, seats....

Was this just recently I'm guessing? A person in my LS might be very interested to get this info.

Years ago they used to restore items lost due to hacking. It takes a while and they are **** about it because it can be "abused", and you might not get some things back since they don't make hourly backups of your items...somebody posted about a friend dropping all their items and they got them back but lost some gil cus the character backup was from a few days before they were hacked.

With the SFT though I'd hope they can do a lot more, since they were bragging recently about all their awesome logs that can track the movement of all the items across dozens of accounts.

The abuse cop out is kind of silly as well..."Yes I got hacked, if you think I'm teaming up with a friend to dupe the items then ban the person who received them!"

Wasnt there a Happy Friday thread just one week ago that said this would be happening?

If he only waited til today to post that XD

Great news! A round of rate ups on me!!

Really happy to hear that, jayfly, looking forward to seeing you back as soon as possible. Any chance they'll be able to retrieve your character from Ifrit? I was talking to Dom the other day and we were discussing that you didn't show up on Friend's List anymore as being on Ifrit or even logged in at all. We thought whoever got your character was just banned, but maybe they just froze the account.

Hey bud, yea my account was froze per the supervisor I spoke to from SE. Not sure about how they are going to handle my characters being sent to Ifrit, but figured i'd take it one step at a time. Hope to see you all soon ^^.

from what I understand, the servers at the least take a snapshot of your character when something is changed (i.e. a dropped item).

Granted, a rollback would mean you would lose any progress between now and when the rollback is being taken from (missions, xp, merits, items, gil, AH listings, etc.) and some thing may be unrecoverable (delivery items, AH-listed items) but if you could get most of your gear, gil, and your characdter back to where you were, would you really mind if you lost the 50k of items on the AH?

Assuming this is true, SE has a winner :P I told you guys they would do something but it would take time because of the holidays....

I'm cautiously optimistic. It's nice to know that there are at least signs SE are listening and working on a solution, but I'll avoid blowing kisses their way until we see how workable said solution is. Looks promising though, I don't see any reason it won't be a success.

Wouldnt this allow people who sold their acounts to get it back?

well thing is that means say someone who was gona quit and really didn't like you could send you a ton of stuff >_> most people would be like woot free money... but if they traced that and banned you that would suck >_<
