The sad thing is, if she gets/got the account back, she was even going to invest even more money into em by buying the physical security token and i was going to pay for 3 months out right when subs came due for payment when the free days ran out.
That's a large part of the problem.... people aren't understanding just how big a risk their accounts are under without proper security. The tokens were created specifically to address rampant hacking that was going on in XI--RMT's made tons of money off of hacked accounts over the years prior to this additional layer of security.

NO one should be playing these games without at least the free token (provided you can run it on your phone). If not, buying the physical token is a wortwhile investment, considering how much you will potentially invest in the game. And they last a long time...mine is from the original pre-order batches and is still running just fine. And I logged in almost daily to XI for years, only out of game a max of maybe 10 or 12 months (part of that from the earhquake downtime), AND I used it in the 1.0 beta and have been using it since the 2.0 beta4 as well.
