He also claims he created it right after wipe,it would be easy to check the date the character was created.
Then simply check the password(in case he typed it in wrong).

Characters and character passwords have been stolen in the past.

The only thing that could probably be checked is the creation date. But characters haven't been stored in plaintext format for a few years and password is encrypted.

The bottom line is - we don't offer any kind of technical support for your password problems. Keep your computer clean and secure. Keep your passwords strong and in a safe place. Never share a character. If you play on someones else PC, clean the game cache when you finish. If someone stole your account or you forgot the password, then well... tough shit. It's a free game done in our free time and we don't have resources to investigate such cases.

you can bet your ass that if it was someone within the circle jerk, or one of your friends character that was stolen, you would help them.

i want my character back. i have strong anti virus and my computer is clean. someone obviously guessed my password and then changed it.

i want my character back, and i know you can help me. and yet you cant be bother to do that. that is pretty sad that you would act this way.

Dude, you won't get any help, if you would I could get help too with one of my alts which I've changed password and forgot.
It was just you or someone who took your character and changed password, and you just forget it.
Just make another alt, and it'll be fine.

i didnt change my password.

but your right. someone took mine and changed it. this wasnt one of my alts. it was my only character. i spent months and months getting it to where it was. i can prove it by describing my build, somthing VERY specific to the build itself that only i would know. i dont want to say it on the forums, but i will message one of the mods/devs if they feel like not being selfish and helping someone in the community, which by the way, makes the game.

Actually Johnny Nuclear (one of the devs) has a few characters/nicks stolen. So I surely wouldn't bet my ass.

1) You would have to prove you had this char this seesion.
2) You would have to prove you didn't give access to character to someone else (which is impossible to do because it would be just word of new owner against yours).
3) Characters are stored in non-plain-text files I am not sure if they really are encrypted or it's just some binary format, but it's not plain-text format anymore so even if you would be able to prove points 1 and 2 only thing that could be done without convincing new owner to voluntarily give it back is deleting the character entirely. (The character files are [to my knowledge] handled via engine, and engine devs have better things to do than to add backdoors into the system incase someone would forget their password.)

so we can't really help you

[Pilgore]

i can prove it by telling you via PM somthing very specific about my characters build, that only my character has. i can prove its mine without a shadow of a doubt.

[Mayck]

that still would leave problems 2 and 3
How could we possibly be sure that someone just didn't tell you stats of his character?

Ok I take back the point number 3 the character files are openable with certain tools.

[Pilgore]

why would i go through all this trouble just to steal someones character? if i was, why would i mention the name so that they can chime in this thread to tell me im full of shit?

its mine, i made it, i leveled it, i spent hours and hours farming to get everything i had. i want it back. you probably dont know how hard it is to play this game solo, seeing as you guys have factions. i dont. i did everything by myself, for myself. and after all the time and effort i spent, i have to start from scratch all over again? no. i want my character back.

[DocAN.]

It looks like "I want my Brahmin full of stuff" back topic and devs are like:

Dude, you do not understand, it's not kindergarten where you say " it was my toy, because it got scratches and its mine" noone will believe you, thats nothing bad, just understand this that you made a mistake and need to make another alt jeez.

[Pilgore]

do you have a link to that topic, DocAN?

and as for Tomowolf, i never made a mistake. my character was stolen, how is that my mistake???

and the kindergarten analogy is just plain retarded and offensive. i can prove its mine, and have done via PM. you dont even know what it is, how can you comment on it?

factions doesnt make game easier but brings more goals, what makes your gameplay rly difficult. I can tell you that it was realy easy for me just grinding and collecting stuff for no reason. But now when iam with faction and PVP active, it made me to leave most of my superefficient habits. Also i have only minimum of knowledge from my faction, all i know and got is made by just playing solo, sometimes listening to other "adventurers".
