IMPORTANT! The Xbox Hack Story
I felt it necessary to explian what happened before I got my new slim to my xbl account when it got hacked, as I will not be making any more updates to this blog. So basically, on halo 3 launch date in 2007, I got the legendary edition, which I was stoked about. I completed campaign on normal first then legendary, Which I enjoyed a lot. After that I started to play matchmaking a lot. I wasn't very good at first but got as good as I am now pretty quickly. In 2008 or 2009 (I can't remember) I recived recon armor on bungie day in the bungie vs. world event, july 7. This was the beginning of a lot of bad xbox live memories with players I suffered from (I had had a few bad experiences before but not many) which I am planning on makeing a machinima series about sometime this summer. I then met a player (I suspect the one who hacked my xbl) in mid 2009 who I willnot repeat his gamertag. I developed a good friendship with him and we played a lot together, although he was older than me he wasn't the type to be irrationable about all younger players. In january of 2010, my account was hacked, and pretty much everything I had unlocked on it was deleted (my achievements, my 200 exp in halo 3, And all of my purchases with microsoft points, although all my armour unlocks in halo 3 remained). I have not seen his gamertag on xbox live anymore so I asume he got banned. When I recived notice that the intolerable malware was removed by microsoft, I was stunned to see everything I lost was still not redeemable. Microsoft stated in a email "We are truly sorry about this catostrophic event that has fallen upon you. Everything you have done in game is gone but it may please you to know that your exp progression in halo 3 and all deleted achievements will be able to be redeemed once more on this account, you just have to put the time in." Put the time in my ass, they still didn't give me back the map packs I got for halo 3. That explains why all my achievements for halo 3 are recent, after I got the 360 slim which I will explain in a minute. All my halo 3 game data before the erase was destroyed too, including my service record, thats to explain why it says I have been a player since only 2011 on bungie.net. I asked them to fix that information, but they never obligated. Okay, so why didn't I get on after my account was "fixed"? Well, in the time after the hack and before my account was given back to me, my stupid friend, some time in april, chucked a base ball at the window of my room and as you expected, it hit my xbox. My xbox was actually fine looking when I went inside (I can't say the same for the window though ;P). But about a day after the occurence, it got the rrod. My brother as stupid as he is not knowing about the xbox repair service, decided to spash it with a hammer. Then I waited until the end of summer, 2011 until I played on xbox live again. The first thing I did was change my gamer tag to probenji, in case the hacker was still out there (and megaluigi33 sounds kiddish anyway). I slowly regained achivements, as well as my rank in halo 3. then, in december of 2011, christmas day, I played reach ON MY ACCOUNT for the first time (I had played reach before a lot at a friend's house) And now here I am today! The only good thing that came out of the hack, was my KD was erased. In my early days, I was horrible at halo 3, and didn't try very hard when playing competetive, so it would have been a bad reputation on my part for how good I am at the game, as you can tell by my reach KD. I would have had twice the rank I have today, and rearning all the lost achievements was a pain, which I actually just completed today (I just got the have fun repawning achievement and the killtactular one in grifball. Well I hope that cleared things up, and as I said this will be the last update on this blog. Peace out blogger.
