Gold missing

Recommended Posts

I just logged in after 10 hours from last login, my gold are missing from both my toons wich didn't apparently move, they are away from mail. They left me 32 copper and 11 on the other toon but nothing more is missing, wich is weird since bags plus gear would be worth 5 gold more at least. About 75 gold is what i had, wich itself is a good amount for a starter around lvl 35, at least it is for me, but the main problem is safety. I'm not going to play if one day, after months of raiding, i'll end up naked with all the items gained with friends, stolen.

Did anyone have this same experience. What happened next?

Have you changed you password recently? There was an information from The Elysium Staff, asking people to change their passwords if they had been using the same password on another private server. It seems like you have been hacked and it is really hard to do anything is such case (especially when there is no evidence on whom might do it).

You probably had the same account name and password on Feenix, Kronos or some other private server that got their database sold or hacked.

No, i didn't. I started over with a new account on a new mail with authentication system this time. Useless to wait something it won't happen like having my gold back. I really hope it won't happen again, theoretically it should be impossible now...

This happened to me as well. I logged in this morning and I only had 99 copper on my character. The last time I played was Sunday morning, and I had just over 2 gold. There was nothing else missing from my bags or bank, so I do not believe I was hacked. This happened on a new account with no affiliation with retail, or any other private servers.

Was there a recent patch or server restart that could have caused this?

This happened to me yesterday and, unfortunately, it looks all the people this happened to were hacked. I was at work when my buddy saw that I was online. When he whispered me, they replied with a gold selling website and then he was ignored. My friend took a picture and texted me showing that my account was hacked. I immediately changed my password and set up two-factor authentication. Like everyone else, all they took was my gold and left the silver and copper. I think they're lazy and just take your gold and spam everyone with their website. They don't go through the trouble of emptying your bags/bank or selling your equipped gear. Also like most everyone else, this was a new account which I've never used on any other website/server. My suspicion is that the Elysium accounts were hacked and they don't want to admit it, but who knows. It seems like we're just out of luck for the stolen gold, so we should be thankful our gear wasn't sold or our accounts banned (which apparently happens with not much you can do about it). I do think it's a larger issue that should be addressed, and they should do more to let people know that two-factor authentication is now a possibility.
