Ok, so here's the story.
I started a RAF account with a friend, so that he could Powerlevel a character to 60 and get into the game faster. He was a vanilla player, and wanted to play again, but didn't want to play horde.
So I started the account, did the link, and let him have the info on it so that during the day (while I work) he could use that account and Dual box the 2 characters to 60.
Well, after I paid for everything on the account, I went ahead and transferred my sons warrior over to it, so that I could slowly make it my sons account once the RAF was done. Since the warrior was 55+, I made a DK on a server and started leveling it up.
My friend hit 55, and made a DK of his own, as he wasn't enjoying his druid as much as he thought.
I go to log into the other account and check auctions for my DK, and my DK is gone. Turns out my account was hacked. I guess he DL'd a keylogger and my DK is gone as is all the gold that he had been stockpiling from running the lowbies around.
His account is intact, just my DK and the loot (some BoE's that hadn't been AH'd and gold) are gone. Anyone know how long it takes to get that kind of stuff restored? Will they return my DK to the proper realm? She had been xferred realms, stripped of all gear, and left copperless. Will they even bother restoring?
I know, I know, when you let other people use accounts, it's a higher probability it will happen, I was just trying to help an RL friend out. Never thought that he would get a keylogger.
I guess the only thing that I can be happy about is that it wasn't my main account. My son's warrior, a 55+ NE warrior, and the DK are the only ones affected.
