Frenzie got her account back
I run all checks, particularly word construction checks and verified that the person I was communicating with was indeed Frenzie( it took me a while to gather this info)
Frenzie managed to get her account back. And is using it.
What is left now is for the hacker to return the marshal position back.
Players who got kicked out in the process of the hacks can now re-join Emperors. Entry by mail has been temporarily turned off. We are not sure what these people are after.
So forum communique should be kept to minimum.
So to ''ex'' re-join Emperors. and initiate operation takeback.
This was a huge blow to the server. Unacceptable....
Even with a rollback It's still player stat compromise for players with a rogue player (from a rival league) placed in as a Marshal to see all stats etc. ..
.
I would certainly hope that other actions are being taken. Those that did this should not be able to log into game.
If they are allowed to remain in game. ..what...so now those players that did this have the stat details etc. "get to just remain in game" and log in and share all info obtained with whomever?
(they certainly didn't pay the sapphires for the privilege of being Marshal correct nor were they appointed but rather via malicious means)? I think player ban's are quite warranted in this scenario. We aren't talking about alt's that befriended their way to a top rank for stats here. Unacceptable if they are able to remain in game.
Picture this ....you are in a league and while you are offline someone hacks your league Marshall's account. You log in... you see you've been kicked from the league.. you see all of your friends (people you play and talk with everyday) were kicked from the league. You're good friend the Marshal (hoping for all the absolute best for you Frenzie btw ) has been demoted and many troops destroyed. You can't really just rejoin the league because you now have a (rouge account "not one of your members") sitting in the Marshal seat. Now they see all stats and goodies of your account....joy. ....
On one hand...that's an injustice for you to right.... as a player (and all of your friends). You've done nothing only to log on and find. ....You were kicked from a league (and now have to wait your seven days ...stats compromised....etc etc. )
On the other hand...now imagine you weren't kicked from the league but instead lost much defense (and now have some rouge player "of a rival league" now knowing all of your stats because of this malicious act.
...Are any of these scenarios fair to you as a player.
(you'd want Plarium to do something about it right) so how is the aforementioned scenario any different (...what because it's not you, but rather...a rival? that makes this ok...? I think not....)
I for one believe that "all" troops should be returned.
....Imagine this happens to you and your league. ....you'd cry foul and want troops returned due to due unfair (I call it illegal) "gameplay" .
This was cowardice and not a way to "get ahead" in gameplay. All it really does is derogate an already somewhat dying game (all the more reason to not play this game many would say)...but it just proves that the players that did this have no real ability to play this game at a level that would rival the players and league(s) these players felt it necessary to do this to.
They should not be able to log in.... If they can't play (at a level to compete) and have to resort to this to (supposedly "win") then why should they be on the game server?
They retain compromised info such as stats etc. they should go.
...once again I ask all players.. imagine... you log in and find this has happened to your league. ....
If actions aren't taken to fix this, (to include account bans) it simply means this can happen to any league at any time.
Making it truly an absolute mute point for any of us to even "play" (thus taking away "money" from Plarium....
)
For those suggesting that troops not be returned.....are you all so willing to accept that ?????
As for those saying win at all costs... I suppose that every person saying this are (they themselves) willing to forego getting any troops back if this ever were to happen to them. I can know better...they'd be screaming for troops back and how unfair ...etc. etc. so I don't believe "any player" would just "accept" win at all costs if it happened to them (and they themselve's or "their" marshal were hacked).....just sayin'.
This is in not a "win" simply a loss for the server and those players that did this are losers. (cheating is not winning ...it's cheating). It's the age ole sayin' cheaters never win. Nobody will respect the players involved and as such will not make for very good recruiters or "competitors" in the game.
