well, someone has guessed your password. the only thing to do is delete that account and make a new gold account with the same name but different password. you can't change your password without makeing another account. about your clan, the only thing to do is ask 4 leadership back.

Wow that has to suck. Of course, If you make cancel that account and make another one then you will be able to make another clan.

aye, while at times there have been certain circumstances to help ppl fix their accounts...there's really nothing else to do except cancle ur account and make a new one if someone knows ur password.

They could fix ur account then..but it'd just get messed up all over again since the person could still access it.
Make sure ur not using an obvious password (any real word or name, combo of the two, or either of the previous stated spelled backwards).

It's odd to see many peoples accounts being 'hacked' (passwords guessed). Is there perhaps a backdoor or something to the game?

Or perhaps people are using their names as passwords, eg.
player/player. But, alot of people (as of late) I have seen having problems with it.

you have to understand the age setup here for a majority of these people. Basically...what i'm trying to hint at is that a large portion of the players here are young (and by association of that..stereotyped as stupid).

As they are young, they are inexperienced. As they are inexperienced, they do not understand why it is necessarry to properly protect their accounts (via secure passwords). Many of them are still in the "i want to be cool" phase and even though nobody else should see it in theory, they make their passwords not only physical words, but words that easily relate to their password account names.

This, combined with the number of experienced comp users and pranksters...means that they are a gold mine for anyone wanting to cause trouble and find easy pickings.

I seriously doubt there is any backdoor setup, it would have just been seen so more readily than and obviously with the flash setup. no, I'm afraid that like many places in real life, there is just an abundance of stupidity and naievity here (did I spell that word right?).

Just my theory of course :) based on similar incidents I've seen elsewhere.
