I'm not sure if anyone knows me, but I am Calderon of Windurst and Devilpup of San d'Oria. For the month of November, I've been without the ability to play FFXI, save a few times at work to check on my chocobo.
As of December 1st, I have returned to Ragnarok after having to find PS2 parts in the middle of my work scheldual. It was difficult to say the least, and with the holidays, many of the parts didn't get to me in in a timly manner. But thankfully when everything was installed and finally updated, up untill now I felt the same innocence of a person playing for the first time, feeling the magic all over again.
Sadly, that was lost as I checked on Devilpup and my Email messeges. In my Email box was a few messages of friends in game that where harrassed by my characters. I've apologized to them, but if you felt you've been harrased as well, I would like to apologize for what may of happened.
On top of that, I found Devilpup's Bazzar messege has been changed. The long time messege of "Wo ai Kitkit <3" was replaced with a messege that I was honestly too scared to read. It mentioned that I was 5 of 8 people hacked into, that much I can remember.
To end it all, I've found some of my higher priced items where stolen. Light/Dark +1 staffs that I've kept holding for a friend to return for example. On Calderon, he lost his Brown belt, sniper ring, and Hume RSE gloves and almost 600~k saved up. The people that know me can vouch that I've earned those items from doing the quests, and the ring was a birthday present. I'm not really sad over losing such high priced items, but rather depressed and heart broken over the significance of them.
I know I can't ask for anything to replace those items, but I would like for anyone to read this to take the steps needed to change their passwords. I never did anything wrong to be a "target" for someone, and yet I was still targeted. I wouldn't want anyone else to feel what it's like to become a victim of such a crime...
Thank you for your time.
