somehow i never thought it would happen

But i got hacked. (Guild Wars account). I no longer play the game anymore, but it got hacked, all my valuble stuff and in0game currency was taken. my characters are still in tact, haven't went through all of them though.
 
I'm no longer active on the game, so i don't really care, but it's sort of depressing to see hundreds of hours accumulated stuff go to waste. This happened before though, when i used to play Runescape, I got hacked and I stopped playing. Recently I sort of played every now and then, but This..... oh well really. 
 
I can't imagine who it might be. Maybe some administrator on a guild wars forum or other game forums that i had to give my email address to. I'm now changing my passwords to all the sites/forums that i still care about (i don't visit Guild Wars forums anymore, so i don't care to change those).  Or maybe it was when I signed up to for a trial of some game, and no longer play it... don't really care.
 
as much as i hate having to remember and enter so many different passwords all the time, i guess i'll have to. more annoying than anything really. 
 
also might sned something to NCsoft support... whatever. **EDIT** nvm they don't reimburse on lost stuff.
 
just realized it could be anyone who knows my e-mail and has access to my password (like a forum admin).

Yea I always use different passwords for my important accounts and those I log into forums with.  I really do wonder how many forums let moderators / admin view passwords, that's a huge security risk for tons of people.

Had that happen to me when I was twelve and played Runescape an unhealthy amount. Sucks.

Happened to my WoW account a while back, and I subsequently quit.
