A few days ago 311s account appeared from vac mode (where it had been for over a year) and left the TA. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I sent a PM anyway. This morning when there was no reply, I decided to send him an email about it.
His response was:
311 wrote:no no...............someone must have stolen my account, cuz i didnt come out of vacation mode
Also this morning I found this in my inbox ingame.
"shinobii has quit the Tauri Alliance alliance 01:31"
Shinobii's account has also been on vac mode for a long time, since about march.
Whilst I havn't been able to contact Shinobii yet, I can only assume this is no co-incidence, and that his account too is now not in his control. He has not contacted any member of TAF since logging in and dropping tag, much like 311s account didn't make contact. This is totally out of character for both of the players I know. Shinobii would at least make a post on our forums to say goodbye.
IDs
Shinobii : 37189
311: 21720
I don't quite know what to suggest at this stage. But I thought both the game admins and the community should be aware that these accounts are not under the control of their rightful owners.
EDIT: Both accounts are still dormant on ascended.
