Fellow DH players, I'm here to seek some advice about peculiar incident that happened week ago. Our guild Vikings participated GW as usual (finished rank ~30). Next morning out of nowhere some lvl20 player was inside our guild, promoting himself as GM and kicked everybody out. I as GM was logging in multiply times every day and we hadn't approved any new players for a long time. I did live chat with IGG and several emails have been sent, but the replies seem to be generated by a bot (aka Adrian P, Jayson L etc): "With regards to your concern, please be informed that we have double checked your concern and we are unable to irregularities on your guild." The real questions remain unanswered: 1. How the outside player was approved 2. Who promoted him as GM So has this happened to any other guild in the past and can we do anything? Thanks in advance.

This is interesting.
It never happened to us. Tho the only way to happen in such a short time is only if the GM passed the autority to him. Which is not the case since it's you and is neither the case of inactivity taken over since you stated you have logged in already in that day.
I hope there is somebody here to help you and in any case keep us informed on the status with IGG.
You got two choices: - IGG helps which it might happen after more and more chatting with them - the person behind the hijack will return it (small chances tho)

That means someone has access to your account and he logged in different device made his other account GM.

I realize that this doesn't help your situation, but just wanted to say how sorry I am that this happened to your guild. I think it's a real shame that someone would be such a jerk to hack a Guild Master's account so that they could take over their guild and kick all the members out. Totally nasty and juvenile. I hope they didn't get access to any payment information. Thanks for posting about it, because it could have happened to any of us. At least now we're aware of the possibility.
IGG probably can't/won't do anything about it since it was due to an account hack and they'll say they're not responsible for things like that. Since they know who he is, they should at least suspend the account from playing, but they probably won't do that either.
I hope that all the former members will get together in a new and even better guild, and will be really careful about account security, especially for the admins.
Good luck to all of you in starting over again.

Luckily we had back up plan, so we are good. The person who hijacked our guild seems to have some personal problems. Anyway guild was sold and new members may not be aware it's stolen, so they are not responsible. We made unfortunate mistake, but we learnt our lesson and it´s never gonna happen again. Thanks guys for your support and have wonderful day!!

Thanks guys for your support and have wonderful day!! Glad to hear that you had a back up plan and everything is ok now. Still it must have been very tough having to go through this experience. I hope all the bad stuff is over for you guys, and from now on it'll just be onward and upward!

I am not a GM or anything but just wanted to say it's refreshing to see how supportive guilds are with each other. Happy to see you had a backup and good luck in your future gaming.

I think you'll find that the members of this forum are pretty friendly and generally support one another, which is pretty different from a lot of other game forums. Sure we compete against each other, our guilds battle one another, and of course we have our disagreements and/or strongly different opinions about various things, but most of us still try to stay friendly and look out for each other.
