Guild Wars 2

Hi, I just wanted to share this and ask if anyone knows what and how it happened. I just tried to log in to the game and the game told me I had the wrong password. I changed it a couple of weeks ago (just before the announcement of mandatory change) and as I have auto-play enabled I have not needed to type in the password since I changed it. Today was no different, I started up the client and waited for it to launch the game, only now I get the wrong password message. I tried logging in to the website and I get the same message. Naturally I suspected that I had been hacked so I have reset the password and now can log in to the site and game again. I have checked my bank and characters, nothing is missing so my question is…what happened?

Edit: Just thought I would add that I didn’t receive any email about attempted logins but I am unsure if that has any bearing.

Have you checked the security page in the account on this website. It may show off strange IP ranges. If that is true, you should delete those and than proceed to write a ticket and have support check your account.
Sometimes hackers use accounts for botting, so they will not be shown as being changed on first sight. But you need to alert support in order to prevent a possible ban for botting.

Thanks for the answer Michael. I did check the security page and I removed all authorised IP ranges to be safe. I didn’t consider that it might be botters though, I’ll file a ticket to be on the safe side. Thanks again.

Thanks Gaile, I got a prompt response from support and they don’t seem to have any flags raised as a result.
