There have been rumors floating around about accounts being broken into via unknown means. This happens sometimes and when it does, it's good to review your own safety measures for your accounts. SOE gives some great tips at keeping your account and beloved characters safe!
Gamers have heard the advice before, yet a lot of people still opt to share their account information with close friends. Having a guildmate complete a quest for you while you're sleeping may seem mostly harmless, but bad things can happen. While it doesn't always end in catastrophe, you could log back in with a new last name like "Lovetrollslongtime" or something slightly worse which might result in a banning. It's not always obvious, malicious attacks that cause good accounts to go bad!
