I recently returned to FiveHeroes to find that my account had been breached. I made a forum post requesting help from the GM.
The GM, HotpocketSloth, was kind enough to check the logs and confirmed that someone had breached my account & taken my items:
But then, out of nowhere, a user by the name of MeIsAgoodPerson claims I shared my account with him:
Obviously, I had no idea who this individual was. But then, I started to think about the account details I had used on other servers. I looked at my records, and found that I had in fact used a similar username and password on Vengeance Mir (owned by Booom). This is the only other server where my account ID and password was similar to FiveHeroes.
For example (obviously not my real details):
FiveHeroes ID: account
FiveHeroes Password: password17
Vengeance ID: account17
Vengeance Password: password
So I started to dig deeper. Who is this MeIsAgoodPerson? Why is he suddenly claiming we shared accounts?
Surprise surprise. I found out that he is in fact Booom, the owner of Vengeance Mir 2 (the server I had used similar account details on), on LOMCN.
Here is Booom talking about the spell ShadowStep that he created:

Here is MeisAgoodPerson talking about his ShadowStep spell and asking Ben to include his creation in FiveHeroes:
In the above screenshot, he ( MeisAgoodPerson aka Booom) even posted this video showcasing ShadowStep to Ben and demonstrating that he is still working on the spell.
It goes without saying that you should not use the same/similar login credentials on different servers, however, I believe I have managed to demonstrate that Booom abused his position as a server owner to fish for FiveHeroes accounts.
Thanks for listening,
Dan

NEW INFORMATION

Just as a follow-up, and a heads-up to those thinking about playing the upcoming Heroes Rise server.
Booom is very likely now posting on the DeathAngel LOMCN account (advertising the upcoming Heroes Rise server).
Booom posted this video on the FiveHeroes forum. The YouTube account is named Heroes Rise:
(see previous post showing that Booom on LOMCN = MeIsAgoodPerson on FiveHeroes)
DeathAngel on LOMCN is advertising the Heroes Rise server:
The last post on the Booom LOMCN account was made 15-07-2017:
The DeathAngel account was created the next day, on 16-07-2017:
Good luck to those who want to try his new server. However, this is likely his latest attempt to gain a database of account details.
If you are going to try Heroes Rise, make sure you use a completely unique ID/password not related to any other Mir accounts (learn from my mistake). :P
