On my recent log in i dont see anything suspicious, what should I do?

Change your password to be safe…dont click the link in case the email is fake.

Yeah, I would change your password. That is a real email from ArenaNet, but what happens is when someone tries to log into your account via a different IP they send you and email which you must confirm to allow that IP to access the game.

PS: Don’t click that link as it will allow them to access your account!

What that email means, is that someone in China:

• knows your GW2 account name
• knows your GW2 account password
• tried to log into your GW2 account to steal it.

That request for authorization by email from ArenaNet is the only reason your account isn’t already stolen – and depending on what your email login is, it may actually have given them enough information to log into your email account to authorize their theft using the links in that email (if your email password was the same as your GW2 password).

Change your GW2 password to something you’ve never used anywhere before immediately. If you used the same password on your email account itself, also change your email password immediately. Don’t make these the same password when you change them!

Consider changing your password on EVERY site where you have previously used THAT username with THAT password, as every single one of them are now compromised.

I got this email too. It happened after I tried to login form a different computer.. in this case my laptop over wifi at work. If you tried to login on a different computer then it was probally you. I would still change my password just to be sure.

Don’t click the link AT ALL. Clicking the link gives the location in question permission to access your account.

dude.. don’t post that link! anybody who click it it’s allowing the other people to get in -.-

dude.. don’t post that link! anybody who click it it’s allowing the other people to get in -.-Seriusly..that was just stupid. The people ask why are they hacked.

ahh apologies to anyone on the mod queue, reported the post to get the link removed, only to find the link was removed as i did it lol
