Yes, that surely seems out of proportations. Especially when a lot of cheaters most likely would not even bother with a post, because they are aware of their actions and simply just accept it. Some people think this is a conspiracy theory. It is not, I am simply looking for some justification that cannot be argued against, the fact is that its hard to know exactly what is going on. If it simply is effect os leaked data from another server is hard to know. Regardless I appreciate the polite and discussion most people offer.

I get your reasoning behind it, but should this not be the case with other very popular private servers also? This might certinaly be the similar case, but it just is not the trend I see. Granted not many servers if any is of course just as popular as this.

Yes, you are right. They surely require time and ressources, no doubt and I do appreciate everything they do plenty :-)

I just see a disturbing amount of threads compared to other popular private servers help forum. Why I cannot explain, why I posted. I totally agree that what the majority of people do. This was not to go after elysium or anyone, this was just a hope to potential clear the concerns with any logical reasoning there is.

This is not going after elysium. Plenty of high secure services has been access by hackers, Elysium nor anyone is exempt from this. I simply cannot be the only one who is concerned about the amount of threads about this? Simply, this cannot be from a compromised server in October only.

Fixed. No reason to apply toxicity to your reply :-) The concern is still valid, doubtfully that many compromised accounts solely from this. It does not explain people why people who did not play other servers got compromised. Have a wonderful day sir.

Unfortunately thats a month ago, and it does not explain the people who does not have accounts on other private servers. This is a reason of course, but to me, it does not add up. Having to spam ingame that you need to change password often also seems fishy. There simply is missing account security features like automatic detection of suspecious access, like when you access acounts from a different country then normal. E-mail verification and the like. No idea, but in the help forums on page 1, I count 13 threads regarding hacked accounts and lost items. That to me signals that something else is going on, more then another private server had issues. Please note that I do think there is any conspiracy or the like, but simply a problem somewhere. For example, forums are often less secure (e.g. no 2factor) or run on widely available engines that from time to time has security problems. This could for instance be a reason, if people use the some credentials for forums as for game accounts. As Elysium staff stated there has been a compromise recently. https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/33744-addressing-recent-concerns-about-created-characters/

Hi Elysium, To start off, I recently started on your servers and I am utterly impressed with the quality compared to other private servers around. Very good job! and thank you :-) I am concerned about your database integrity, the sheer amount of compromised accounts is disturbing. Firstly, I highly doubt that the majority of these accounts are accessed by random keyloggers (That mainly target popular accounts like e-mail, game accounts [steam, origin etc] and the like.) Secondly, I do not think the people who lose their gear and gold intentionally give away their stuff when they all and well know or atleast have the idea that server policy wont allow item restoration. Thirdly, so many accounts cannot possibly have been accessed by brute force. I totally understand and agree that all account holders have a responsability to secure their accounts, with 2Factor Authentication and anything else that applies, but something is fishy here. This concern is not only about account compromised on elysium specifically, but anyone who uses the same credentials on other services also. I hope someone can shed some light on this? TIP# Enable the account authenticator as soon as possible.
