Dear Plato - I'm Upset
Stakerauo
I lost a random amount of random things from my user.
These things were:
-7 out of 17 gold.
-890 out of 890 Quality 1 food.
-2319,16 NOK out of 2399 NOK
-1x Rubber Plantation
-1x Aluminium Mine
-1x Hunting Lodge
-1x Fruit Orchard
I also lost some Quality 5 weapons, but I'm not sure how many. The things disapeared in three waves. Two which accured during daytime and one during nighttime(GMT+1).

I wrote an article explaining my situation, and I tried as hard as I could to make it easier understood by using pictures.
16 days ago:
An interegation started. I was asked seven questions regarding these losses and of course I answered the best I could...
I told him that I did NOT need all my stuff back. Only the Hunting Lodge and the Rubber Plantasion.
13 days ago:
Andra G. asked me to send him my e-mail and password so that he could change it and reset my account.
I asked him what he meant by resetting, and he replied that it was just to prove that I am the right owner of my account, and that I could even change it myself.
10 days ago:
I sent him this reply:
"Alright!
🙂
I've changed my e-mail to:
...and my password to:
I hope this is enough, and that I can start playing again.
If you have to do any more changes, then you're free to do them, as long as you tell me about it and you keeps it inside the fences of justice
🙂"
Back then I was expecting to get a reply...
Today:
I was wondering if I should reply on my ticket again, as I had not gotten any answers in a long time. Westerberg told me not to, but instead talk to Larm, an eRepublik moderator.
So I did! Larm told me that there were three possibilities for the disappearing of my items:
-I'm pulling their legs.
-Someone logged in to my account.
-I was cheating.
I know that I wasn't trying to fool anyone, and that I don't have a poor security on my log-in.
Previously I had been using eRepublik Advanced, but I deleted it when Andra G. asked me to.
Acording to Larm, eRepublik Adcanced is considered cheating and that all lost items due to the script will NOT be returned.
First I accepted this, but then I was informed that tons upon tons of players use this script, and no one knew anyone which this has happened to before. All the people I talked to agreed that it would be more likely if it was a game bug.
What is this supposed to mean? Am I being scammed by the admins? Are players lying so much, the truth is being ignored?
I change to strong passwords frequently, and I really don't understand what's happening to my account.
As no one will support me with 45 gold to get new raw buildings, I'll just have to stop playing.
Because frankly, I've spent way too much real life money on this game already.
Wow, I feel dumb now, wasting 8 months and lots of NOK on a game I thought was uniqe.

Hmmmm, interesting but its a great learning lesson man. I used a battle script and it screwed me up in battles. But, you would have to contact the person who wrote the erep advance. The Developers have no control over the modding of scripts.
Cant you just use another script that will give you all the stuff back?
I am surprised you were asked your login and password. Admins should never need to ask that.
No, they shouldnt, and considiring how many use erep advance, there should have been alot more victims, if that scripts was the source of this robbery....
i doubt the problem is with the script, a year ago i've suddenly lost half of my gold, about 10 - and I wasn't using eRA. Sent a ticked and they answered "we cant do nothing". Sad, but true.
And I Ask: Would this happen to a Serbian??
This game IS pretty bull.
thousands of players use eRA. That the admin/mod asked for password seems very suspicious to me, In every other game/website/anything i ever had a user in they always say NEVER give out passwords and admins will NEVER ask for your password. This sounds very very strange to me and not at all secure.
