Help me return my cove to its former glory (please)

cosmicbrambleclaw • 13 May 2016 at 5:27 PM

Good day to all of you who are tagged in this post.

I recently found out that I was hacked during my last semester at college, and then the hacker deleted my account to cover their tracks. I have been working with site owner @Ian to try and restore my cove to what it was, but unfortunately some of my most important creatures (i.e. cash shop, birthday gifts, gifts from people who no longer play, etc.) were stolen in the hacking.
Using the internet archive Wayback Machine, I have managed to make a small list of the creatures stolen (they all have new names though -_-) and their current owners. Obviously I can not force any of you to return my treasures, but I ask you with a sincere heart to please return them to me seeing as you received them due to me being hacked. Below is a list of the owners and creatures, it may be expanded upon later as I filter through my internet history to discover the rest of the missing creatures (the wayback machine only took me to Jul31 2015, so there are a few months- and creatures- missing currently)

I thank you all for your cooperation and for (hopefully) returning my babies to me. Thank you very much, -Cosmic

PS: I doubt that any of you good people would try to pull a trick by renaming a creature, but I will say that I do have direct links to the creatures and will not hesitate to check if called for- name changes are useless.

@noxus creatures Malevola and Aquamarinho please
@Samhain creature Ticks please
@lailaluckyseal87 creature Sorinspring please
@bang14982 creatures Colla__ and Seawonder_ please (those were creatures I recieved on my birthday my first year on the server, they are especially important to me)
@bunnyshadow creature Krasota please (a late birthday gift that same year)
@_black3333_ creature Gemband please
@iridescence creature dragonblue_ please
@emeraldfirefly creature nightlyprath please
@kota creature icywaters please
@cho creature Orbiter please (that was a christmas gift from a friend who no longer plays and is one of my most important creatures, if you know its former name I will be in debt to you)

This list is subject to change as new data appears on the remaining missing creatures, I thank you all again for your cooperation and for (hopefully) returning my babies. I understand it will be hard to part with some of them, but I will try my best to make the trade worth your while whether that be monetary exchange (ec or tentatively cc) or at the very least you'll gain a friend in me.

Thank you all, and have a good rest of your day,
-Cosmic

Good luck! I hope you can get your creatures back. I'd be devastated if this happened to me--not only losing creatures, but years of stalking names and collecting.

Wowww, some ruthless person actually had the conscience to do this. People like that spoil the fun for everyone.

Hope you get your creatures back. I'd just quit the game if something like that happened to me. I got scammed once in another game so I probably know how you feel.

I'll help ping those who probably didn't receive the ping -

@cosmicbrambleclaw

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can get your creatures back soon.

Here's Colla and Seawonder: Lot #659564

Also, I found a Prath in the Adoption Center along with them. Could he be yours as well? http://eggcave.com/egg/634960

metaphor • 14 May 2016 at 10:17 AM

Wow, so these creatures were just dumped into the Adoption Center? I think I would actually cry.

@cosmicbrambleclaw

I'm sorry for your loss ☹️

❤️ Lot #659669 ❤️

@metaphor @ushafuse @kota @leafmelody @bang14982 @emeraldfirefly

you all are too kind 😱 I'll try to get to work on the lots as soon as Im able (have to clean the house some today) and dont think you'll get out of this without some form of compensation! it may take until Christmas but each of you will receive something special 😊 (and dont try to talk me out of it, youd have a easier time teaching a pig to fly and use silverware 😉 )

Im honestly at a loss for words XD thank you all so much 😊

cho • 14 May 2016 at 6:57 PM

@cosmicbrambleclaw Lot #659688 Here you go, I'm sorry to hear that people did this to you. It's not fair. I haven't sorted out my storage yet, when I do, hopefully I can give you something that you like to help you start out again. 😊

iridescence • 14 May 2016 at 7:54 PM

@cosmicbrambleclaw

We have received a few support tickets asking about the appropriateness of this topic. To be clear, yes, this user's account was hacked and removed and, yes, I did restore this account and some its creatures.

While we do support this user trying to re-obtain their lost creatures, please note that current owners of creatures that were formerly owned by @cosmicbrambleclaw are not in any way obligated to trade them back. They are your creatures to keep, fair and square, if you wish.

However, since this topic is honest and contains sincere requests, we will leave it up and open. 😊

Good luck, @cosmicbrambleclaw, getting your Cove back on track.

cosmicbrambleclaw • 20 May 2016 at 3:16 PM

@Ian

Thanks Ian 😊 I tried my best to make sure they knew they werent obligated ^^; Thanks for confirming that this is indeed honest 😊

@ everyone else, thank you all for the help and for the kind words, I've been really busy the past few days and havent been able to get on, I'll try to offer on your trade lots and respond to messages by tonight 😊 thanks for your help and patience
