My account has been manually abandoned, when never in a million years would i have abandoned it! Is there some 'hacker' or virus that is causing this? GMs, is it possible to reverse the abandonment when i did not consent to abandoning? This may also explain the abandonment of Half-Pint or Chet Militaire?

We discussed this in chat and will in IGM, but we do not reverse an abandon. If your account is compromised, we are not responsible for what happens. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll answer you in game now.

Is this an virus that can harm other people or was Bob's account simply compromised.

Under the page:
http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Player/Account?page=abandon
The system will require you to check the
"I understand this: check box" and after that you may be able to click "
Abandon Account" and a prompt will pop up
"Are you sure you want to abandon your account?" and after that another pop up will appear "
Are you REALLY SURE you want to abandon your account?" and after clicking that here you go - Account Abandoned!, and the game will move you back to the login page.
I think the devs created enough security measures and warnings on account abandon feature. Hacks - I think this happens when you share your login and password to several in-game players which is against the game policy and devs will suspend your in-game accounts too.

Do away with abandon. or put a three day cool down then it abandons.
or we Players just wipe them away. we have growth charts to let us know if they are
active or not
true?

That would mess with terraforming.

I like Sheza's idea of a cool-down period... or perhaps the requirement of a secondary verification via e-mail or text. Something to add that second layer of security... Perhaps answering a password recovery-like question? This may result in fewer abandons, but is that a bad thing?
