Hey thanks so much for looking into the problem we've had and correcting it. I appreciate the problem being rectified but with what occurred I don't want this to happen to anyone else. This all started with a password change to my personal account that I did not do, nor received an email on the password changing. Is there going to be a further investigation on the people that did this in the first place?

any comment on the accusations here?

You may need to be more specific. If you mean in regards to the RMT allegations, we are unable to verify the information provided from our logs. We would need reports like this to happen promptly not a month + after the alleged incident took place. The server generates a lot of logs and we need to prune archived logs eventually.

so, nobody is under investigation?

Anytime we receive RMT tips we investigate. Investigations are generally not "ongoing" we try to bucket and close them out best we can. If a ban has not gone out we do not have sufficient evidence to support any RMT claims.

We encourage any and all RMT tips to be sent to OctoWoW@proton.me or DMed to me directly here. We of course monitor regularly for new RMT activities independent of these tips but they do help a lot.

All characters and gear/money is being restored, may take up to 24 hours to complete fully. If you do find you are still missing gear/items/gold/characters after 24 hours from now please do let me know.

We will let you know here any new developments in the investigation, or if it stalls out. Do you have a date and/or time window that you know this password change occurred? Specifically the last time you were able to log into your account, and the first time you realized you were locked out and your password was changed.

The following accounts/characters/forum usernames have been banned for trying to frame another player for RMT. In light of recent posts and public statements this felt appropriate to post here rather than wait for the inevitable appeal.


Account (Forum Name) <character name/level>
TOMPEARL (Tompearl909) <Tompearll/1>
HIMITORI (Himitori909) <Tomspearls/60>

How is Himitori909 able to post on the forums if his forum account/name have been banned?

Yeah, Tom Pearl was a Himi joke about a TikTok guy of that name. He has a sound board of the guy on our Discord. There was an ongoing joke about renaming the guild to <Tom Pearl Fan Club> even lol.

This whole situation is really suspicious. His password was changed without a notifying email too, I believe.

Thanks for looking into it more, Kestrel.

May I suggest again two factor authentication: https://octowow.st/forum/viewtopic.php? ... =2fa#p7963

This might have stopped this issue, and similar issues in the future.
