Hiperiberia Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Ok so, I was happily playing in HS when all of sudden I get "Disconnected from Server" and I cannot enter the zone with same name again. I come back in with another alias and I tell what happened and nebulou says "stolen" and the same thing happens again. When I try to reenter it says "Invalid password for specified username. The name you entered may already be in use by another player, in which case you should try another name. Otherwise, check your password. You may have made a mistake entering it." I never touched my password on either of my accounts. Here's a log of it happening: SSXHAMM> ok got to make dinner SSXHAMM> heres my brother LOST IN LIF> ist 5 SSXHAMM> supT James1293> dang! Mas> rar nebulou> lol WARNING: Disconnected from server [Here I entered with my other alias.] Log file open: session.log Now entering Hyperspace. Note that your current money and item statuses may not reflect their actual values. Myuu> On my other account I just got disconnected, and now I can't enter with it. o.O nebulou> stolen WARNING: Disconnected from server So if this is true, I want my accounts back. It was Hiperiberia and Myuu. I don't care about Myuu though, Hiperiberia is the main one I use. I can provide password and such if that's what you need. And now you know you've got some account stealer here. o_O
Suicide_Run Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Did password your alias it in the zone?
nebulou Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 nothings going to happen probably. i see accounts get stolen everyday. im getting tired of this, and tired of typing out the same message of "use ?passwd" everyday
Evil Doom Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 weve always known that.... since were not connected to ssc biller you need to use ?passwd=(password) for a password to work in hsi dont think much could be helped... but ask a mod ide say for now make a new name and dont forget to ?passwd it... best of luck to ya
Hiperiberia Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) No, I just got told by a player that I had to do that, and I had no idea I had to because I thought it'd automatically do it when I simply typed my password into the "password" box when I registered a new name. I had no idea I had to put it in the zone itself, and if that's how it is, it should be written somewhere, atleast. :S Somewhere noticeable. I just want my account back. EDIT: If the account's password could get a reset I'd be glad and I'd quickly put a password on it before anything else. Edited February 28, 2007 by Hiperiberia
nebulou Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 the reason it doesnt use the password in your profile is because the server isnt set up right. for some reason the admins refuse to use a biller. i got my accounts stolen twice before someone told me to use ?passwd if hs ever gets put on the SSC biller all accounts will be reset and account theft wont be a problem anymore.
Evil Doom Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 cant be reset on hyperspace as long as were not on biller i think... restart for now if u want and wait for a mod to help you
Hiperiberia Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 Well it's pretty lame that the admins DON'T put up "Put password using ?passwd= or else your account will be stolen!" SOMEWHERE. I looked through it, it's NOWHERE. How are you supposed to know this? Seriously. PUT IT UP SOMEWHERE. Put it in the news! Put it as a WELCOME message in the zone! Jeezus. o_O
Evil Doom Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 your right there, there should be a warning to password your account!!! lets see what a mod has to say about it
11___________ Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I should make a list of all the stolen accounts, but it would take forever with all the names.
Evil Doom Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 the mods alrdy have a list of all the account stealers, dont worry the problem will be fixed once we get biller (i hope)
Deathmonger Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I agree that it should be in the news and the instructions to set the password should be in the welcome message, not the smart!@#$%^&* "Note that your current money and item statuses may not reflect their actual values." Sure, foreshadow what's going to happen to the newbie but don't tell them how to prevent it. Makes the staff look really smart when it happens without actually being helpful. And to those who say it's been warned lots of times, that's re!@#$%^&*ed because there's no way that a newbie or somebody who hasn't been on for awhile would know unless they happened to stumble upon one of these forum messages or be online right when something like this happens. Instead of keeping it a secret (lot of good that has done, hasn't it?), or saying the biller will save us, make sure that every time people log in they know that they need to have ?passwd set by putting the instructions in the welcome message. It's a shame that this keeps happening when it could be easily prevented with a simple announcement in the welcome message.
rootbear75 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 i've been playing HS for quite a while now and i have never ?passwd'ed it... no one ever told me to, nor did i think i ever needed to...kinda pisses me off
Suicide_Run Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Yea, staff needs to tell ppl in News, Zone Msgs or Welcome Msg.
11___________ Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) they made an attemp at putting it on the news, but failed at the ?passwd= part Multiple people are stealing accounts is my guess. All should be banned. Agian, stealing accounts is stealing accounts. Edited March 2, 2007 by 11___________
James1293 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Who is actually DOING the stealing of these accounts anyway?
Suicide_Run Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Probably some desperate loser who wants a few extra gold so they can buy some antideath. Like I understand why people go after the older player's accounts.....but why bother going after the new people geez. Someone has too much time on their hands =/
Deathboy-evil Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 I read the 1st post, and a few others. There's some bs in there about staff needing to tell people about the password thing.. I completely find that pure bs. It's posted all over the forums, said everyday in the zone, more than a few times, etc. You MUST set a password (local) on your account when a zone is not connected to a biller. HS simply isn't connected to a biller yet. Once we get a biller, you will have your account back to the original password you have set it as .. which corresponds to all the rest of the zones with billers. As for now, someone has taken your account. Logged onto it using some bull!@#$%^&* password, typed ?passwd= and has set a local password amongst your account. There is nothing at the moment I, nor the rest of staff can do for you. But I will let you know that there will be consequences for whomever has taken your account. Everything in the zone is being recorded. Cheaters, Thief's, etc. And once our biller is up, they will suffer their punishments. I suggest you don't do the same as others have done to you. Otherwise you will also have to suffer the same punishment. Simply, at the moment, nothing we can do. Topic Closed.
