    Problem: Account hacked and items stolen
    Details: I just logged in to my account today, only to discovered that all my NX (~1.5 million), Mesos (~1.5 billion) and some equipment (130 WA stonetooth, pants, facestomper 6 WA, stormcaster glove 15WA, cape 7WA) had been stolen (there's more stolen items like apples and scrolls which I forgot its quantity / names). Is there anyway this can be traced? Any help is appreciated! Thank you! I remember logging in last on 18 January 2023 and all items are still in tact.

    I have taken action and already reset my passwords.

    Any of your friends / siblings / GF play Royals ?
    Option A: While you didn’t pay attention, they were taken by someone you know.
    Option B: Keylogger / accessible remote control software.
    Option C: your PWD, Pin and PIC were easy to guess.
    Option D: Hack the server DB and pull some info. Quiet unlikely. We all would suffer.

    Suggestion: Strong password (aA&@567) use digits, symbols, capital and lower case. Check password strength online via searching in google “how long will it take to hack my password” just make sure to input a similar but not exact password to check ;)

    Pin doesn’t really matter but usually pin crackers work top to bottom or vise versa, haven’t seen any crazy algorithms yet, so safest bet is pin first digit 5. However, might be wrong on this one.

    PIC is a must for security, mix of Upper Lower case and digits.

    Thank you for your suggestion! Its probably option C....had been playing for years and never gotten hacked so I didn't bother to change to stronger password. Had already taken action to strengthen them after learning the hard way. ~f4

    I'm just hoping something can be done about it ultimately. Seeing years of hard work going down the drain like that is painful beyond words.

    But once again thanks for the suggestion mate! Cheers!
