If another user got onto your account, you most likely have a keylogger. Go contact Arenanet at http://support.guildwars.com/.

You were banned 
Nothing you can do; just wait it out. Surely you can find something else to do. I suggest picking up the picture book on the side of you bed
. Just kidding.
Or...
You can go to gaiaonline.com and spam there.
Sorry,

Typical example:
They have your password, log on, transfer all your items to their account, then spam about keyloggers. Anet sees this and then bans the account.
You'll want to have your computer checked out, or if you know how do it yourself.

A key logger is a spyware that can tell what you can type...
Your password was 'keylogged', in short, stolen by someone figuring out what letters you typed.
So what can they do with the password?
They can change your current password so you cant get on anymore
Get on Guild Wars and change that password now! After you clear out the keyloggers, or they will get the new password.
Then after that, you have to wait your ban out. Nothing you can do.

im not sure but if your on the payment plan if you cancel it im pretty sure they wont be able to log onto your account but if this has been on for a while im sure there done there business

Is it just me or does it make no sense that you get logged off when another person logs in on the same account...Shouldn't be the other way around? You can't log in because another person's logged on right now.

Actually, the way he describes it makes me wonder. Maybe it's a defensive measure by A.Net and NCSoft where, if your pass gets stolen and you happen to be logged on when they log on, it temp bans the account so that the person's acount is safe. If it's true, way to go A.Net and NCSoft. If not, then they may have really messed up your account, and you would have my condolences.

Plus you can log in and kick out someone who've stolen your password, instead of having him squat on your account until he's plundered it clean.

im confussed...
cauz i e-mailed them (gw support) and asked about why i ahve been banend and what had happend. the reason why im banned is because someone has reported me for *acting* like someone from Anet.
which is true becuase someone scammed one of my friends and he lost around 100k, so i whisperd him and said that he should give back or he'll get banned. (which i regret very much for saying)
but the thing were i got logged off, because another user had accesed my account scares me...
i hope you are correct VGJustice that its a defensive measure by A.Net and NCSoft which loggs u off if anything dangrous happens.
i realy hope that its just because of me *acting* like a GM and not a key logger who has stolen all my things. (i been saving up alot for chapter 2)
~Ktadie
PS: anybody know a free anti-spyware program?

They probably did it to log you off straight away.
I had felt sorry for you, i don't now.
Still hope you havn't been hacked though.

On the other hand, I hapen to know a good and free spyware scaner called SpyBot - Search and Destroy.

even though he told someone he was going to get banned wouldnt it be better for the scammer to be banned than him? anet drops the ball yet again, its a sad day when someone scams then gets someone banned for trying to stick up for themselves.
chippxero
I'm pretty sure he must have said a lot more than just 'You're going to be banned'.
You are jump to a conculsion without all the facts, he shouldn't have done anything other than whisper the guy asking to give the money back or he would be reported, when this fails then report the scammer.
It's not Anets fault if the scammer hasn't been reported(not sure if he has or not as the OP hasn't stated) they don't know things magically.

impersonating an Anet employee is an offence that could lead to losing the account.
he was lucky.
second you have no reason to assume they did not go after the scammer as well since they dont make reports of actions taken for you to read
they do have the logs to review before making a decision.
it had to be more than a generic comment that they would be banned for scamming
Josh
Or they didn't log you in...it's just if your banned, they'll give you that message or something and your just banned...no one is actually on his account. ;\

I know its a pretty old post but u didn't get keylogged , whenever anet bans u and u r on ur account it always says someone has logged onto ur account

I recently had an experience where I was playing my game and was disconnected "Another player with this account has logged on." I was like OMG! so i logged back on kicking whoever off I guess or it was a Arenanet server glitch. I immediatly changed password. I have realtime scanners and realtime spyware running and checking everything everynight so I was to say teh least...suprised. Maybe GW finally has an exploit to hack accounts other than a keylogger? I took steps to hopefully avoid it again, but since this insane update I will be moving from GW. I loved it while i had the game, but these updates are out of control.

Same thing happened to me a couple months ago and it turned out it was just a bug. At first they told me to check everything and I told them it wasn't me.. my computer is very secure. Anti Spyware, Adware, Zone Alarm, Norton's etc etc.
It ended up being a bug with GW in the end.. they even wrote me an e-mail telling me so.

First let's clarify, banned means you can never come back. Suspended which you are means you cannot play for a limit ammount of time.

It's odd to be suspended for so long for a first offense. I thought the suspension times increased incrementally per offense, starting with a short 24-hour-ish suspension. Gaile Gray explains it on a board somewhere.
