Guild Wars 2

was queueing up for Borlis Bordlerands in wvw After reset and switched to my necro, and soo nafter got kicked saying i accessed the game from another account. i quickly logged in HERE on the forums and changed passwords, contacted support letting them know what happened and then checked out Security in the forums account. only My IP was logged and seeing this was wondering if it happened to be a bugged code pop up when i just probably lag logged out. Could someone have switched to my IP? was i hacked you think or just an error?

If only your IP was logged, it was probably an error. Has it happened since? Although IP’s can be spoofed easily enough, they would have to know what IP belonged to the account at that particular time. It would be unlikely. Also, my account has two factor authentication on it, so if I log in from a new IP, I get an email that I have to authorize the connection. I thought it was done by default but I guess not, I would look into that.

Unless you’re paying your ISP for a static IP address (used for hosting websites and always knowing how to access your computer outside your local network) then they can change it on a whim if needed. Normally they don’t but on the rare occasion they will if they’re doing maintenance or a power outage happens that affects the ISP.

I have to agree with HadesNuutz thakittens highly unlikely that someone knew your IP address as well as your account information. Needless to say though, you did the right thing by changing your password right away and letting ArenaNet know what happened. If you aren’t missing anything in your account I would let it go for now and make sure your new password is ‘strong like bull’ so-to-speak. Then, while you are at it, make sure the email account tied to your Guild Wars 2 account is also secured down hard with a bullet-proof password.
