What the Hell!!!
So I just went through hell to get my stolen FFXI account back. (See post below this one for all the drama.) Well after a week or so everything was going fine. They were able to recover half of my stolen items..none of my gold, but it was still better then nothing. I really did not want to give up the game. One day when I left for work I came home to find that someone changes my password on me again. It was 11 at night so I had to wait till the next day to call customer service. It was to late it all my stuff got stolen yet again!
I did a virus scan and a ad-ware scan and it did not turn up anything. I got a better ad-ware removal program and it did find a "keylogger". To be on the safe side I deleted the whole game off my hard drive. I am going to have to load the program back on t m computer and test it out to make sure no one logs into my account again before I ask to have my items restored.
I am currently waiting to get my account back. I had to do another fraud report for the mishap. In the mean time I was looking for an alternative game to play. I have heard a lot about World of Warcraft. I downloaded the trial and from only ten minuets of playing I knew I did not like it as much as FFXI. Main reason being that none of the male characters is HOT! Its a dumb reason I know...but still. LOL
My other alternative is Phantasy Star Online.
The characters here awesome looking and you have ton of options to make your character look different. There is a free trial to play the game. I may just have to try it out soon. Any one else know anything about it?

I was Robbed!


As some of you might know I currently play Final Fantasy XI online. I have been playing this game off and on for about two years now. In early January I was logging on my account and my passwords did not work. I tried a number of times to log in but still was not successful. I planed on calling customer service but they are not open on weekends. (which is when all this was happening) On that following Monday I called the customer service line. What they told me was a total shock! They told me that my credit card number and password was changes. I of course did not do this my self by any means. I was not expecting for someone to have broken into my account.
After fileing fraud with the company and having to sign and get paper work notarized two months had passed. It was a longer process then I thought it would have been. Well it did not help that the first time I sent the paper work I forgot to put my player ID. So I had to send it again. Hehehe
When I was finally able to log back in I had about half of all my items and all of my money stolen and I was on a different server. I was super upset and very irritated on all the things I had to do just go get every thing back to normal. (it was a long process) After all the time I spent on fixing everything they were only able to give back half of the items that were stolen and non of my money.
If they were not able to retrieve any of my items I was going to give the game up and start playing World Of Warcraft. If any of you play online games like this you know how much time it takes to progress in the game and get items and money. To lose all of that would make the game pointless to pick back up. I did not play for two years to start back at square one.
Well since I was able to get some of my things back, I decided to keep playing the game. I had to post a blog and rant about my problems. I feel much better now. LOL
