Tiger was Hacked :'(
Ok, so it wasn't on this account, it was on Singing Bunny. But same difference, it's still me.

ANYWAY! Here's the story.

I was logged on as Bunny yesterday around 5:30, 6:30. I go downstairs to get a snack and end up being down there an hour or two. COme back up and Gaia has logged me out. No big deal, Gaia does that, right?

WRONG!

I go to log back in and it tells me my password is wrong. Try again a couple of times and guess what? 15 minute stuck out.

So I log onto Tiger and make a topic in the Q&A cause I'm freaking out and can't think what to do.

I try to do the whole "password recovery" thing and am told my email isn't in the system. s**t.

Meanwhile, I'm logged onto YIM freaking out to my friends while trying to get my account locked so I don't lose any of the TEN MILLION GOLD worth of items I have on that account. So anyway, all of a sudden, YIM logs me out. Try to log back in, wrong password. Uh yeah. So, just to make sure YIM isn't being stupid, I go to Yahoo and try. Nope, wrong password.

SO! I'm freaking out more and right away clear all my private data and run a spyware check. Delete whatever is found. Realize I should go and check my hotmail account which is what I have Bunny registered on (which, btw, my Yahoo address is registered with my very first account which I no longer get on). Guess what? My password is incorrect. So, I reset that one too but don't see a message from Gaia so I'm like *death*

Either way, the hacking report has been sent and I PM'd a mod to have the account frozen. I fortunately had a recent screenshot of my inventory that I sent in. I took this 5/2/2008, so yeah. Only a month old :]

So anyway, it gets better.

I couldn't sleep at all last night and ended up staying up all night. So this morning I get online and check my email on Yahoo. Guess what I found? A Yahoo password change (not me), a Gaia change (not me), and a Yahoo password change (me). I'm like "YOU b*****d!" So, I go to check Hotmail, cause remember, I hadn't seen anything from Gaia. But, now that I'm not freaking out and have seen Yahoo, I check the deleted message folder. LOOK what I found!

Oh, and even better. I sent my account a message when I was gr saying that this person was a b*****d and I would get him. And guess what? HE WAS READING MY PMS!!! Cause when I checked later, it wasn't in my outbox, it was in my sentbox. I mean how rude! Reading another users messages! GR!

Um. Yeah, but that's my story. I'm not freaking out too much. I just kind of know it's all going to work out and I'll get my account back, I just need Gaia to get to it.

And what else? Oh yeah, I was going to lament now.

So yeah. I mean, it's not so much the fact that it's pixels that I'm missing. I know that gold is not real money and that life could be worse. I happen to think I'm doing very well. It's the fact that I put 4 years into making that account and that all of the items have a memory attatched with them. I'm hoping they're all still there.

But yes. Um.
