Logged in today, after weekly reset and the following 6 Guild Message of the Day (GMOD) displayed

This guild consists of my toons only. They are all accounted for and show on the guild roster. I logged into a number of my other toons and did not get the messages. I use the authenticator every day I log into Battle.net to play. I immediately changed my password. I do not use Discord. I have had all my toons on the same server from day one and have never moved any to a new server. Any idea why these messages appeared and I am concerned about my account security. Nothing missing in guild bank/personal banks. Any ideas on what happened here? And thanks!

That is odd you have a authenticator so ihighly doubt you were hacked.

The last bit (the Discord link) seems to be the Discord channel of another guild on your server. So I guess the GMotDs got mixed up?

Adding: looks like the url got edited out. So that’s nice.

Not sure, but thank you for the report. Passing it along.

I don’t see any weird access, Bitzei.

If this has happened to you - if you relog, is it still there?

Possibly try a full UI reset, Maybe something is currupted. Does not sound like you have been hacked, they do not waste time with MOTD sillyness

Thank you for the responses! I’m not seeing these message again on this girl or any other toons so must have been something glitchy.

Logged in twice today, both times two MOTDs showed up. The correct one, plus weird second one.
First time I logged in, the second message was “Only sometimes”
Second time I logged in it said “Remember: Don’t feed the trolls”
Very weird…

Actually this happened to me last night on an ALT. I got a weird Guild Message of the Day but when I checked the Guild tab, it had the correct message.
I panicked at first and then realized it must be a UI issue with all the other bugs right now. It didn’t show up for my other ALTs.

Happening in our guild too- we have no set guild messages. i log in today
Guild Message of the Day: I have taken over as GM to use the guild bank for storage,if anyone wants GM back please let me know-Lindreith (Alecca)
Followed by Guild message of the day: Welcome Crusaders of the Light. One of my toons is still gm

File a bug report. The more data points QA has on it the more likely they can find the cause.

So I just had this happen today on two of my characters. My wife’s char saw nothing. Absolutely weird.

There was one difference. I played a game of Plunderstorm, she did not. I’ve noticed previously after playing Plunderstorm, when switching over to Retail, the gold arrow in my mini-map would stop functioning for quite a long time. Wondering if this GMotD is a result of Pluderstorm as well.

It is, and it’s been looked into, but nearly impossible to reproduce.

It only seems to happen to a handful of folks, and only after a maintenance, then clears up.

Thanks for your report.

I am unguilded on my other character and getting spammed by random guild messages of the day as well. I am also getting spammed by notifications “You are not in a guild” and random members of said guilds I suppose going offline. I did try to play Plunderstorm right before this but left while in the lobby because very few people were queueing.
