So a couple weeks ago I remember seeing a forum post about someone being told by a stranger that they whispered them.. and they quoted their message word for word..

I just got a message from saying ich liebe dich from a complete random. Thought it might be wc, but it was a whisper, I've never seen their name in my life, looked in all 3 of my guilds and can't find them there. They weren't standing near me or anything either. I also hadn’t typed a thing in chat

And it reminded me of that post I read.

Has this happened to anyone else? Imagine not even being able to trust whispering in this game, wth

    Maybe they were trying to /w [@username] someone else and mistyped the name?
    This creature called a songbird. What a devious creation! This winged nuisance erodes sanity with its incessant chirping. What a brilliant form of torture!

    You can whisper anyone in-game if you know their @ name and if they are online ...

    Some decades back, when the only mail was postal mail, I got a letter that read "Darling, I love you and I can't live without you. Please marry me." This surprised me, as I didn't have a relationship at the time that was close enough for the letter to make any sense. Trying to figure who sent it, I looked more carefully at the envelope ... and saw that it had been addressed to "Occupant".

    Actually, this is a old joke lifted from one of Tom Lehrer's song introductions.

    "ich liebe dich" is not "random stuff" though, it's pretty specific ...

    A random player saying "I love you" out of the blue with no followup to a player who doesn't know them from Adam seems pretty random to me.

    I tend to go with the "once is coincidence, twice is..." principle when it comes to interactions with random players, myself.

    Sure, the act of randomly saying "ich liebe dich" to a random player is random, but the content of the message is not random (as your initial post implies).

    Whatever. Its no "asdghew46gf" if that's what you thought I meant.

    On a funnier note, its close enough to "ich liebe es" that I now have craving for McDonalds mcnuggets, the nearest of which are 40 minutes away.

    Awhile back, someone asked for help in Stonefalls zone. I answered, in zone, and got a random whisper from someone else saying I was sexy... not that it isn't true, but still random. I shrugged it off and thought it was just in error... about a minute later, the person who asked the original question had a follow-up, in which I responded to in zone again. I then got another whisper, from that second person, which was a bit more vulgar. I put them on ignore and went along my merry way.

    I think the second person was just playing a 'game', whispering whoever responded in zone... so there are silly folks out there and you can chalk it up to that I guess.

    Maybe the misspelled the name of intended recipient into your character name/account id?

    Or maybe someone saw you in the game world and thought they would tell you they love you (in german)?

    Did you not reply asking what it was about?

    Or just someone amusing themselves in weird ways.

    Like the guy standing at the Vivec wayshrine randomly whispering people "OMG NOT YOU AGAIN! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

    When I replied* he just said "STAY AWAY!" and then I blocked him because geez, who needs a weirdo like that?
    *(asked him what was up, said I never met him, might have the wrong person)

    Turns out, he did the same thing to several other people in my guilds. Some people have way too much time one their hands.

    I'm sorry you felt your privasy was compromised op but this could be a catalyst for you to be more careful about what you say or disclose online even in whispers


    As a general rule, never trust the internet I know it sounds old and cliche but it will serve you well in future.
