Runes of Magic US / AU

In the last few days, I've heard of a GM coming on to Artemis and spamming world shout the name of gold selling websites. At first I thought this was a joke or maybe a drunk GM, I yesterday saw a level 70 character from a well known guild do the exact same thing. This morning I heard from someone that a guildie of mine had also done the same. He just logged in to find ALL of his gold missing and lots of other stuff too.

From what I've been hearing it looks like there's a serious problem somewhere, it may be a security hole on Frogsters end, it could be a trojan on someones system or even a website which mines data somehow.

Regardless of what the reason behind it is I'd like to ask everyone to be VERY watchful over your friends and guild members. Make sure you speak to them when they come online, watch out for people logging on at unusual hours. I would also recomend that you perhaps even change your passwords to be on the safe side.

Nothing more is known at the moment other than its very unlikely that these people have given out their accounts to gold spammers....

Just a heads up, would appreciate hearing about any other strange goings on so we can try and catch anything early.

One more piece of advice for those who want to be cautious, send all your gold to a low level character or something, they'll most likely go for the highest level character on an account.


*Update* Problem now seems to affect only US servers. Russian servers were recently all forced to change theirs for an unknown reason.

Was all on Artemis. I just want to add that this could just be three random incidents that all happend at the same time, but its suspicious enough for me to want to post a thread.

As these guys already stated, we have another one on Artemis right now. Any other servers have anything to report? Remember to keep names/guilds/etc off the forum please. Just trying to get a feeling of how many people have been hit so far.

And another one just replaced him within minutes
