You probably accidently deleted your original character or someone knows your account and logged in and deleted your account.

Somebody probably hacked you and deleted your character. :(

Because the one who stealed your account would say "hey dude i took your account hope you are okay with this :) kk bye!"

No seriously, there a few ways that a player can get your account:

- You went to a site, downloaded a program, etc that promised you Free Ce, or Double your actual CR and CE but to get this benefit you have to use your User account and password. the thing you did there its gift away your account to the owner of the site or the "programmer" of such thing

- You went to a site that promised you free steam games but they need your password and user. as i said before with this, you gift away your account to the owner of such site.

- You shared your account with your Best Friend Forever r your "In Game Girlfriend" but in the end he/she faked their friendship/love just to lure you to a trap where you would trust them a lot to the point you can share your account with them, then they enter in your account take everything away and deleted your character.

and there would be more and more reason how "someone" get in your account but those three are the most common reason why people get their Spiral account stealed.

"So is it better to click "remember account" on your comp that way you won't have to keep entering your account? Especially when someones is in the room."

unless they have a nice memory to see what are you writting its better entering your account everytime (of course if you are in your own PC and know what things you do in the net or download because if you enter in some those "rare sites" that promise stuff for free you would have troubles like i posted before or in the worse case: keyloggers).

lets say you have a lil bro that plays the game with you or your friend does too and comes one day to your house, and then you have to leave (bathroom or something that will take you a bit but not longer) and they click "remember me" and plays a bit in your account and then well things can happen like someone fooling them and then stealing the account of yours from them. it happened before.

also if you keep your account with caps letters and numbers would be hard for them to figure your password dunno something like: eXaaMP12l33t since you have have shift near of Z you can press it without them notice it while you write your password. but who kind of friend would watch what are you tipping oh well who know.

==================================================================
Anyway the only way to keep sure an account its:

-Never give your account info to: Friend, "In Game Girl Friend", Guildies, etc. No matter how much you know them, or how nice they were with you, your account its yours, also you never know when they will get their account stolen frm them and the thief act like your friend in order to steal your account too. for that reason its better NEVER GIVE your account info. you never know what would happen to them someday

-Never believe in sites that promise free stuff that will send to your account but in order to do that they need your account info, obviously that its a trap and only want the info to enter in your account and steal everything you have, nobody give free stuff for free or doing nothing.

-Never believe in sites that said they are managed by GM of the games and they will give you stuff if you give your account info: GM never will gift away stuff in that way, also why they need your account if they anyway are GM.

-Players with GM names that tell you they are doing a routine check up on accounts, or telling your account its suspected from something, what ever reason, they want to make you feel fear that your account was compromised and they need to check it by entering in your account, GM never would do that they have the enough data to do that without even entering in your account, those Fake GM just want to steal your account. GM never will contact you in PM (pink chat) they will use their Special GM and that chat always says their title as GM. so if they dont want to join you or use that chat its because they arent GM no matter what reason they give to you, GM will always prove you they are GM with that special GM chat or joining you with their GM gear.

-Avoid rare sites or unnoficial sites of Spiral knights. sites like:
*spiralknightsspecialpage.tk.biz
*spiralknight.tk.biz

well you get the idea, if the site dont have .com avoid visiting them, those fake sites some of them have keyloggers and as usual will ask your user and password to enter on those sites just to steal your account, if a site have a rare link or name better not click it and avoid it.

-Avoid sites that will give you prizes if you send the link to friends etc. those are fakes too.

-Avoid click on links that new friends or friends sent to you if those links have rare url name or have an ip address or well your friends sent the link to you in this way: "Hey this cool! (This site!, This GM!, This Company, whatever they thing they put) its giving away free gifts you only need to enter your user!" that mean your friend got their account taken away from them and the thief want more victims.

-Finally in case of steam or any thing you use, that some users will come to you in a pop up chat with the Icon of the site of the proman you are using and with the name "admin" will try to lure you in a trap like a fake GM, things like "we have noticed your steam guard, your protection its disabled and that its breaking or term of service, in order to restore your account in their normal state we have to enter in your account and do the fix manually please send your user info or we going to ban you" well you get the idea they will try to convice you to send your password or they will ban you, as i said before GM and Sites admins never will do that they have the info already so why they would need it?.

Keep in mind those suggestions and your account will be safe.
