Hacked with a GoldCard .... !?

[Dom_sufc]

Im sorry, but "Bigdeal's" posts In this thread made me laugh my ass off. Had you been drinking at the time of posting?

It should have been obvious there's no prank seen as the writing Is in another colour for a start lol

Anyway. Like everyone has said, I think It's just a bug. Only support knows now though...

eagerly awaiting your next reply Lykke

I hope it is as a lot of people seem to think: just a bug. However..

Mindark will not log onto your account without you giving permission for them to do so, first.

Aw, I forgot about the GC...Have not seen it since my friends got
the GCs.

Are you suggesting that the "steam" software (Counter-strike, Half-Life...) would be interfering with Entropia Universe, or did i understand wrong ? If so, THAT would be extremely scary too...

[Lykke]

Ok. I went in with VF's permission to see if he moved. As far as I can see from what he tells me, he didn't.

Next thing is to hear from MA support - if this is a bug - if so, to make them fix it ...

[Etopia]

remember me the old autolog in bug..
Avatar log alone in game for som min or even for long long time...

Ive seen this happen a few times, its like the chat server reverts back a day and starts telling you people just logged off that you know werent logged in. Odd

The last time ViagraFalls logged in was over a week ago, though (a little birdie told me so).

I'd be curious to know if anyone saw this happen after inactivity of about a week or so? It seems very weird to me.

For now, I'll wait and see what support has to say about IP-addresses used. There's a few IPs ViagraFalls used during his lifespan (a little birdie told me so). The majority of those were used to check the inventory list, etc, and not to actually log into the game (a little birdie told me so). The most recent logins were all performed from Lykke's IP, but apparently, Lykke's wireless network might not be the most stable ((a little birdie told me so), and thus it could be possible another wireless network within reach was used.

It should not be too hard to perform a check on said network(s) and find the possible IP-ranges. Alternatively, if MA does decide not to release an IP-address that was used, perhaps they can perform a tracert to the location of the network, and supply that.

Damn birds and their talking too much.

Thank you from reporting. We understand your concern. We have received some similar reports from other participants and in all cases the avatar in question has not been online at the reported time. our developers are working on the issue right now.

However, to be able to check wether his avatar was online on this occasion or not, he needs to send in a support case from his account. We will then be able to give him more details about his.

regards,
entropia support

Will keep you updated
