Item Recovery?

Item Recovery?

by Lexangus » Fri Mar 25, 2016 2:56 pm

Hey guys!
My account was banned as a result of the recent gold seller hack wave.
I made a topic about it, and you guys reviewed the issue, and lifted my ban.
My problem now is that my character is full naked and it's inventory is almost empty.
I guess the hackers logged in and selled everything and sent away all my gold (that gold traffic was the reason I was banned).
Can you guys recover the items and gold from some kind of database?
It's really important since it's vanilla wow, not retail where you can just farm a full honor gear in just a few days....
I highly doubt that I'll continue the game if I don't have any items and gold.
If you guys don't have any database to search for items, I can seek out the items IDs that I had and can guess the amount of gold I had.

Sincerely,
Character name: Halálhozó

Gamemasters don't recover anything and don't have the power to do so.

The only exceptions are due to server crashes/rollbacks lost raid items with the quality of at least Epic and the Onyxia attunement neck.

Yeahhh okay.... about that
First of all, they DO have the power for it. It's a private server, you can add items by itemID's. (You can add items in the same way on retail, but I guess it's forbidden for them because.. you know.. it's retail)
I don't see the reason why the GMs here don't/won't recover items.
As I can see the forum, ALOT of players account was hacked and banned in the same way, and I'm sure that those accounts was robbed like mine (selled all the character gear and items, and sent away the gold)

So my point is.... What I/We can do? If the GMs not willing to recover the items nor the gold that was stolen, how could I continue the game?
My character is full naked, and have 0 gold-->I can't even buy white gear from vendors, or some green from AH to start over again + there are items only acquired from quests, you can't farm them from instances or something.
The other issue is time... I spent a lot of time leveling and farming my gear. But I'm not willing to do it again just because the GMs wont recover my STOLEN items... hence I won't continue playing this game on this server.
And believe me, I'm not alone with this issue.... I only had one character which is butt naked now. I guess there's players with multiple max lvl characters whose probably butt-naked....

I'm looking forward to get an answer from an actual GM tho.
I'm patient, I'm not hurrying anything, I know that the hacked accounts are the preferenc now. I can live with that if my recovery takes a week or so, maybe weeks, but PLEASE make this happen! :(

Short answer: they don't for others, and you are no special snowflake here.

Remember that account security is your responsibility.

They don't have the power.

Gamemasters are very limited you must know.

Okay I'm fully aware of that I'm not a special snowflake here... So they're okay with the fact they'll lose hundreds of players because of this?

Account security?..... really?... You're really this naive? Look around the forum. Bunch of ppl having the same issue. Are you telling me that all these ppl had keyloggers on their computer AT THE SAME TIME? :D
I can't declare in others name, but I certainly don't have any malware on my PC nor I visited any websites that can steal SPECIFICALLY my account information on a WoW retail server... -.-
What I'm saying here is that probably there was some kind of leakage in the database of the server infos BY the nostalrius team (not intentionally of course, they got hacked I guess, but they probably won't admit it, why would they?), and thats surely their responsibility....

I am telling that you and many of those people used same login information on other servers or web sites. And thereby you failed to keep your account safe.

It was the feenix database that got leaked/hacked. Not the Nostalrius one.

If you use the same Accountname and Password for multiple websites or games, then you don't care at all about your security.

I didn't play on any other server than this, except retail where I use totally different infos. Same for other websites. I never had this account name anywhere else.

Feenix database? As I see this is a WoW 1.12 database site? I don't know how you connect these two (the feenix database and my account) since I never heard of this site, I just only googled it now...

Greetings,

We do not restore items lost due to account compromise. Sorry for your loss.

Note that there were multiple attack vectors in the hack wave. Some accounts were hacked simply because the password was very weak. Make sure you choose strong passwords with upper and lower case characters, numbers, and special characters.

Regards, GM Team.
