How odd

  So I finished running Gold Leather for the daily bonus, and nothing goes wrong. So I exit so that I can spend my AP before the servers go down, and before my screen even loads, I see a chat bubble saying "pro level up :o". I was thinking that I ended up standing on another character, but looking at the chat log, I see that it was me that said that, which is weird, because I don't type like that, and I didn't level nor was I in a party with anyone, let alone one that leveled.
  
  And to make it weirder, my character then proceeded to say "ready up :P", which was even weirder, because I was just standing at the docks and not on a boat. So I'm thinking one of three things.
  
  1) There's a glitch in the system somewhere, which is causing my character to say something that I didn't put in myself like a macro or a glitch that just makes people say something that someone else said
  
  2) Someone has access to my account somehow, and somehow can play as my character while
  I'm playing as said character. Now this is just ridiculous, because as far as I'm aware, logging in from someplace else while your account is currently logged in at a different computer will bring up a prompt asking if you want to kill the ghost log in, which would be the one I'm playing on, but since I wasn't forced out of my client, I'm inclined to believe that's not the case
  
  3) My character has a mind of his own, and it's of someone in the highschooler age group, because while I do use emotes and things like that, I capitalize the start of my sentences, even in game. Of course, unless I'm lazing about in town, I rarely talk in game, because I'm not exactly a quick typer, and could potentially harm my party or something, even if we're just traveling down something that doesn't have any enemies, because in that case, I'm so slow at typing, the rest of the party is really far ahead of me, so I have to catch up to them while they're killing the enemies
  
  So anyone else experience something like this yet in Vindictus, or is this just an odd case of a weird bug that I was somehow (un)lucky to find?
  
  I'm not sure if I should change my password or not. I'm okay at remembering things, but knowing me, I'll probably end up mixing up my passwords or combining my passwords and might have problems logging in after changing it, and I really don't feel like changing my password for every account I use on the internet.

  I assume this was with the chat windows?
  Sometimes severe lag can cause it to appear as if your own char is talking to yourself. It's likely a combo of lag + wrong chat window.
  
  Like I had Intex asking me about lag with the window being labeled Invertex yesterday.

  Could be, like I said, I was in the middle of changing screens when it popped up the first time, though it still seems odd to me that my character talked again with the speech bubble coming up after the "pro level up :o".

  Well, it's probably just another lag related glitch like the chat window one.

  It's lag most likely.
  There was a guy (party leader) who I partied with who lagged so bad that everbody's sprites became his and the camera was centered on him despite where we went.
  AND we were still on boat so he lags like butt `-`

  Your character has a mind of its own, kill it with fire.

  This happened to me, but I happened to be in a channel with a goldseller... so guess what my character said? T_T

  This happened to me as well, but I forget what my character said.

  same here, just after I changed channels, my character pops up with a virtual gold ad above his head. Was like: "wtf?"

  Another odd glitch I found was that I was using Thousand Needles with Twin Spears...

  My bet is that other people are saying those things, and your window says that you were the one who said it.
  
  But I doubt that other people read it as it being you says it.
  
  Because once "I said": Ready ?
  Then it said: Wtf? Why did I say that? I didn't even type anything.
  
  Which was exactly what I was thinking so it freaked me out (Exact wording and timing) but then I realized that the first person's message came up on the second person's screen as them, then the second person typed and both messages appeared like I was the one who said it.

  I waited on the boats and whenever I was on the boats mailbox I started saying bot-spam stuffs.
