Section V - Hacked Accounts/Characters
- A.) Getting Hacked
- Your hack case in mostly will not be accepted because we do not think its actually hack case but scam or selling real cash or un-safe account. Be very sure you use strong password, lock inventory and never share your account even for your best friend!
- B.) Prevention of Getting Hacked
- Here are some ways that you can prevent your account from getting hacked.
- 1.) Use strong passwords
- Many people use weak passwords so it is really easy for people to guess. Use strong passwords. One of my favorite places to get a password is https://passwords-generator.org/. I realize you probably won't remember it. That is why you can save it in a notepad somewhere on your PC.
- 2.) Don't use the same password from another server
- You can play as many servers as you wish, that is your choice, but under no circumstances should you use the same accounts on here as you do there. This increases the risk of your account getting targeted.
- 3.) Don't visit fake websites
- Most of the times fake websites (phishing websites) have applications that will ask you to "install or upgrade your java" in order to run. These are not real and contain viruses. Once you press ok or allow, the virus will be downloaded onto your PC.
- Other fake websites will tell you to login with your account information to "win free imps" and such. They will NOT deliver. Once you login your information there, their webserver will store it and there goes your account.
- As stated in (Section I. Paragraph B. Subsection 4.), only submit your login information to our official website (http://eternalpirates)
- 4.) Don't download random tweaks
- Another way players get hacked is by downloading random tweaks on the web. Some of the tweaks are infested with viruses. If you would like to download tweaks, visit our forum and there are some safe tweaks which are free for everybody to use.
- C.) Reporting a Hack
- In the case that you do get real hack. we will investigate and gives you resolution of the case.
- 1.) Reporting
- To report the hack, visit our visit our Facebook fan Page and fill out the form accordingly.
- Account Name:
- Character that got hacked:
- Date/Time you got hacked:
- How did you get hacked:
- Items you lost:
- Your IP Address:

- If you shared accounts, your partner(s) IP address:
- Once you have completed the hacked form, all staff members will be e-mailed and they will be able to view your case and start working on it. Please give us up to 2 weeks considering we have to check through a lot of game logs.
Section VI - Scammed Accounts/Characters
- A.) Getting Scammed
- Getting scammed is one of the most common ways of "loosing" equipment or items simply by not double checking the trade window, or trusting somebody with your equipment or items.
- B.) Prevention of Getting Scammed
- As stated above, getting scammed sucks. Here are some common ways of preventing getting scammed
- 1.) Watch Trade Window
- ALWAYS check what you are getting in the trade. Many times scammers will change the item with something else with a similar icon.
- 2.) Record Your Trade
- This is not really a way to "prevent" getting scammed, but in the case you do get scammed. RECORD or SCREENSHOT it. (Recording is better for us)
- 3.) Don't be stupid
-
- i.)
- Many many many manyyyy times people get scammed is because of their own stupidity. This is the internet. TRUST NOBODY. I do not care if you known them for however many years. UNLESS you can PHYSICALLY talk to them FACE TO FACE in real life, DON'T TRUST THEM.
- ii.)
- Usually if you are doing a big trade, get people who can vouch for the person you are trading. Yes, I know I am contradicting myself from above, but usually if you find 5-10 people (Not friends with the person) who says that they are trustworthy, the chances of you getting scammed is decreased. This does not mean that person would not scam you, just the chances are smaller. There is always a chance for the person to scam you.
- iii.)
- COMMON SENSE IS HELPFUL. If somebody comes to you and say "Hey, let me borrow your equipment for a few minutes. I'll give it right back." I'll say it right now. If you fall for this. You DESERVE to get scammed. Common sense should tell you "Hey, This equipment of mine is really important, should I lend it to somebody I have only known for 3minutes?"
- C.) Reporting a Scam
- In the case you do get scammed because you did not read what I stated above, this is how you should report it.Note: You will NOT get anything back. All we will do is ban the scammer(s) to prevent them from using your scammed items.
- 1.) Have Proof
- As stated in (Section VI. Paragraph B. Subsection 2.) Record your trade. This is the ONLY way your scam case will be looked at by our staff. If there is no proof, we have nothing to go on.
- 2.) Reporting
- To report the scam, visit our Support Center, Forum or Facebook Fan Page and fill out the form using the subject "Scam Case". We will e-mail you back (to the email you specified) about your case progress. Please do not spam us. We will check the email hourly if possible.
