sega_rt
just wonderin about the storage...i just put 100k in my storage yesterday and i just checked a while ago and i have 89k left. i no i didnt take any money out of it..but somehow i lose 11k (im the only one that plays on my account) . so i was wondering wats going on? does stroage take a certain percentage off of my money when i put it in storage or what? has this happned to anyone else? also ive put money on my other charcters (10k) that i created..but i havent played them for a while but once i decided to go back to them they lost money. he was down to 2k. again..has this happened to anyone else?..is this a glitch or wat?

Methinks you've been hacked. There is no penalty for storing your money.

If money disappears out of your storage, I would say reset your password asap and contact guildwars support. You were probably keylogged..

Maybe an insider.
Someone you live with may have fooled around with your stuff.
I know this guy... his brother always stole his car while he was asleep....

way to little to be a hack...if that were the case it'd all be gone...I'm thinking inside job as well...you got a little brother?
that's just wrong

You have probably accidentally withdrawn it on one of your characters...I have it all the time :/

hacker? i'm sure a hacker would take all 100k. AND, it would be more than one hacker--it's not possible to just...take...the money. You can't drop the money(unless you buy 1000 dull carapieces or whatever and drop them), you have to take it via trading with another accomplice.

There's no "hackers" that "hack" accounts, and even if there were they wouldn't steal 11k and leave 89k.
guru-freak
yea mtm is right .. well i wuold write to guildwars/support abaut it. GL m8

lmao well like we said change your pass and contact GW
Textural
Or maybe you were just tweaking too hard one night and got sleepy and withdrew it/spent it. You can't always believe your memory all the time...especially when time eats it little by little. ;(

I don't think it might have been a hacker. He would've taken all 100k out. At least that's what I would do
. Could've been you one night, really sleepy or you forgot a tranaction you made.
For good measure, you should change you password. Make it really tough to figure out. But before that, scan your PC for any Keyloggers, and while your at it scan for viruses too

It's very common to see people saying "I was hacked!!" but any online game at this moment has a very complex security, so it's highly unprobable that someone would actually discover your password using brute force.
So in effect, "I was hacked" means one of the following:
1. I downloaded a trojaned bot/hack/whatever.
2. My guildie/bro/friend/family member has access to my account, and unfortunately they don't seem to worth my trust.
3. I forgot about something I myself did (such as selling /giving away something).
This is what "hacked" means

If they left you a note saying this:
"You have been hacked. Well, not really "hacked", just more like DL'd my trojan. I stope 11k, spared you 89k. Have a good day!
"
I think you should contact ANet.
haha, seriously though I highly doubt you someone went on your account and took only 11k. Storage doesnt steal money, either. You must of withdrawn it without knowing.

I keep leaving 100k on random chars and forgetting they had it, i'd go through ALL of them before taking any action.
Linksys
If it was a hacker and Anet cares, I'm sure they can look into your account and find out the IP numbers that used to log in. And if they cared after that, they can find out which ISP the foreign IP number is from and get the ISP to find out which person used that IP number at the time of the log in. But last time I heard of action like that being taken was record companies tracking down people who download music for free.
If it was a hacker that took only some gold but not all, maybe he/she was hoping to do this every once in a while instead of taking it all. It may have taken him/her a long time to finally gain access to an account and he/she wants to invest in it over time. If you use the same password for other things like email or something someone you know may know the password to, that may have something to do with it.

People don't get hacked and this guy just lost his money regardless of what he says.
Whenever someone gets "hacked" it's a result of their own stupidity because they gave someone their password or downloaded something (usually hacks for the game) that had keyloggers.

I doubt someone would go thru all the trouble of hacking to take GW gold anyways.

Hackers do it for thrills and entertainment, think about it you have the power to go into people's accounts who wouldn't do it? It's just like a newly found exploit in GW people do it, cause they want to.
True hackers get in when your computer is unprotected, or you download a third party program, but than it's your fault.

so if someone wanted to hack your account they could? i am not just talking about a random person but if they knew say of how much wealth you had and decided they wanted it could they get it? say someone finds out so and so has xxxxx ectos and sets out to get them could they if they really wanted to?
Linksys
They would need more than the person's character name. Their email address is the username to log in the account. The character's name won't really do anything.

Fellow citizens of Tyria and Cantha...
The Xunlai Agents are growing restless at the fact they provide a very convenient service and never get paid nearly enough to compensate for the work they put into it. They have begun voicing their opinions, and even some are on strike. So recently rumors have been springing up everywhere of certain Agents secretly pocketing some of the gold they handle. Among several victims, the renowned warrior known as Stefan had noticed thefts in his storage bank. "its hapned trhee tmies now..im getnig sik of htis," Stefan said. Many others have reported that the thefts came in intervals of 11k each time. Certain that the Agents of Xunlai were at the root of this treachery, Stefan resolved to bring the thieves to justice. And so we are left with ample proof of the cause of these misfortunes...
This news report is brought to you by......Ahem, kinda got carried away there.
Anyway, like everyone else has said, I'd suggest changing your password as soon as possible, and keep a closer eye on your family members.
