Recently (two times today) i was disconnected from WvWvW (if it matters), game has exited to character select screen and i got strange message telling me that somebody else was trying to log in onto my account from another game client. After first one disconnection I changed password and after one hour the situation took place again. Sadly i reacted so quickly that I didn’t copy error code.

I must admit that I’m sure that no one knows my password and I’m quite affraid if they’re some hacking attemps…

I had only 2 different net conections marked added to connections list which allow me to play without authorization via email and none email arrived on my mailbox telling me that somebody was trying to log in from different place.

Anyone had similiar problems…?

If you changed your password, and there was another attempt using the new password, I suggest formatting your HD and reinstalling your OS. Either you have a keylogger on your PC, or the hackers got really lucky guessing your new password so quickly.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

And now, when I was suggested to check security info on my profile I see 2 new authorized networks added without my permisson to the list which I don’t know…

If I have a keylogger on my PC I’m almost sure that I will lose my accont because I recently changed password for email which was used to create GW account… :<
