I haven't been on MO:ULa for quite some time (maybe a year?). I recently got a new computer and re-downloaded the game and logged in tonight.

When the character screen loaded, I not only saw my old avatar, but also another one. This new avatar was named Sadat. I don't ever remember creating this character.
The Sadat character is a male (I am female and always play female characters). No one else in my family has had access to my account. I have no idea how this character got here. I do not remember ever creating Sadat. I don't even think I've ever made a secondary character.

Any ideas? Did someone get into my account? Did I create a character at one point and it somehow got turned into a male and named Sadat?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've really no idea whether someone could have gained access to your account, but it seems unlikely that an avatar would change gender and name arbitrarily. However, a couple of weeks ago there were some oddities happening with high KI numbers where creating new avatars wasn't working properly, Relto bookshelfs were broken, etc., so there's a vague possibility that someone else was creating that avatar and it erroneously got assigned to your account.

If you're worried about it, you can always raise a ticket with support - http://support.cyanworlds.com/

Thanks for the response, Mac. That sounds like a plausible theory.
I deleted the character and it hasn't shown up again. Nothing else has been tampered with in the account, so I don't think someone got into it. I'm just going to think of it as a weird glitch.

If it happens again, I'll contact support. Thanks for the link!
