A cantankerous discussion on the EQ2 Forums posted over the New Year’s holiday addresses the issue of Account Hacks and Compromised Accounts. Due to the holiday schedule, some players have experienced as long as a 2 week wait to have their accounts restored or rolled back. Update: We’ve found a far more constructive thread on the subject of the increase in Compromised EQ2 Accounts. Amnerys has posted an update on the situation as well as a word on Velious Winter Rewards for those who were not automatically granted them:
From the EQ2 Forums: Attention Fan Faire attendees! Are you in the Destiny of Velious Beta test? Do you want to be? So far, fewer than 200 Fan Faire 2010 attendees have been flagged because they either haven’t filled out a Beta application, or because they haven’t yet accepted the NDA. If you would like to participate in the EQII Destiny of Velious Beta, these are two things you need to do before we can flag you for access! If you attended Fan Faire 2010, you will be admitted into the Beta program as a thank you for attending....
