Hi all,
as some might know that i had a little "issue" with renewing my accounts which resulted in loosing 2 houses yesterday.
first of all i wanted to thank everyone who tried to reach me. beside being kinda heartbroken iam not sick or whatnot. thanks also here for being worried for me.
unfortunately all who know the houses were IDOC could not reach me (no having my discord / phone number) and those who would be able to reach me didn know in time
thanks to @Scribbles as he offered me back 2 of the plots which he placed
right now iam trying to find the other 2 owners.
i guess a lot of people will say "this can never happen to me" but just as a warning let me explain as i think it went down.
i normally buy 2 180 GTC for each of the accounts and then repeat this after around 10 ish months
in addition i have CC on the account as backup
well.... it seems that for some reason i only bought 1 GTC last time and after Amazon stopped collaborating with that german bank they canceled their CC which stupid me did not replace asap.
in addition to that possibly google flagged the EA Emails for a while as spam as i was not able to find any notification for the accounts running out in my inbox. i could find one ea mail in spam but it was not a "subscription notification" however when i added new GTC to my main account today it was back in regular inbox...
i was sure that my accounts were running at least till mid/end february. funny fact, i noticed that my main account was blocked so i logged in at that time and added my new CC just to be sure, i have no idea why i did not check the other accounts while i was already in account management.
iam sure as everyone know that there are times in UO where someone is not that active when life gets busy so i was not around often anyway and i was planning to sell of some stuff to get the stock down a little. in addition to that my job was draining me this week too so i did not login to anything UO related.
well i guess i dont have to do any sorting and selling anymore.
a first estimate shows that i lost about 90-95% of all valuable items i had including some collectibles where i wanted to setup a new library, the only stuff thats left is some tmap library books and materials and a few bits and pieces.
in addition to that basically all my shard shields and other vet rewards
also the countless hours it took gathering all that stuff and decorating the houses.
i guess a lot of you know the feeling that settles in after messing up big time.
after being around this game since 2001 (with one or the other break) i get the feeling this is the last straw.
currently i am not sure how to think about this.
i just wanted to thank everyone how tried to help me save my houses even if i could not safe them.
also i would be happy if everyone who reads this gets a little reminder and go into account management to check if all is set so nothing happens as i would not evenn wish this experience and the feelings i have right now to people i dont like. no bueno..
cheers,
Fin
