Several MMORPGs, including Guild Wars, are being hit by hackers who have got into less secure systems and simply matched up e-mail addresses with passwords. Make sure you change your passwords in such games - and never have the same password for more than one place. Remember that the same also applies to the forums - it is bad practice to use the same password in more than one place because while HBGames don't have any security issues to note, other sites may be less secure. If your password is the same everywhere, then it only takes one site to cock up and you're a gonner.
Guild Wars are now employing a "security question" - since character names differ from account names, you need to name one of your in-game characters to sign in. Should stop some of the hackers.
