A friend of mine got his account swiped of all his goodies... Someone made a character with a name identical to a friend of ours, except they used an uppercase "i" in place of a lowercase L in the name... So instead of giving out his info to a friendly guild member who just wanted to try out a shadow chaser, he gave it to an account stealer and all his stuff is gone.


Just a friendly reminder, be careful what you're doing with your account info. Have a good day.

The only people that have my info are two very trusted friends, and I give it to them through Ventrilo so I can tell it's them.

It's not about never giving it out, it's just about being smart about who you give it out to (and how you give it out, for that matter).

Oh... I guess it does sound that way, huh. Well whatevs. I had to do something so I wouldn't feel bad about leaving his naked character to party in Rachel.

This about people getting their stuff stolen because they shared their password never gets old.

And yet people still do it why?

"if you really do <trust> me you'll prove it by giving me your <password>"

can replace <> with other stuff used throughout the ages

I dont give out info, ever and i dont loan any item I can't afford to lose (or at least not without collateral), except for god items since they havea certain level of insurance. I wish MVP stuff could be tagged in the same way.

Being Too Trusting, Nice, Believing in people's Innate Purity instead of the Doctrine of Sin - all can be substitutes of the world "gullible".

We all make mistakes. People make mistakes in different areas. We all have blind spots. While most would think it's "common sense" to not be "gullible", for others it's like second nature. They can't help but trust. For the OP who gave out their password, this is a good lesson. Atleast this happened in a virtual game and not in real life. And for others who are reading this, learn from it. You may be the next "nice enough" person.

We all want to live in a world where you can trust people. But sadly, there are just people who could care less about their integrity and just want to earn their cash (in game or out of the game) by ripping people off. Just be glad that you aren't one of those people. Zeny/items is a small price to pay for your integrity. I have no idea why they do it. But yeah, just be aware that people aren't as nice as you are.

I hop you better got some proves for this, cause calling out names and accuse them to do bad things that gets kitty sad and crying without any prove can make god wants to kill you slowly and painfully....

An old guildie of mine fell for this trick too. He reported it to the GMs and I believe he got his stuff back. Worth a shot.
