Shadowbane Servers Hacked, Chaos Ensues
Vanguard(DC) writes "There was a major hacking incident last night on the servers of Shadowbane, a newly released MMORPG by UbiSoft/Wolfpack. The attackers wreaked havoc on at least one game server, with apparent god-like capabilities in-game. There's already an official statement on the forums - 'Ubi Soft and Wolfpack Studios are now working with law enforcement, and we promise all of you that these individuals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.'" There's a little more information via a post on the SBCatacombs messageboard - apparently the carnage (including many less powerful players getting killed) involved "..teleporting people all over the world, teleporting hostile guards into the safe-holds, bringing in hordes of special event monsters, and teleporting everyone to a city at the bottom of the sea."
This news actually makes me smile after wasting 8 months beta testing this garbage. Waiting and waiting and waiting for the game to get a even hint of some content. Waiting and waiting and waiting for the lag to stop, for no mem leaks, and server stability. Until finally it was released I am so utterly disappointed with its total lack of any original ideas, gameplay that blows, classes and races that are completely unbalanced for pvp, I could go on forever. Looks like some others got as bored and fed up as me. I love it. I just wish i could have seen the look on all the losers faces that still play this crap when they got smacked around.

Wow...completely missing the point, and being arrogant about the fact that the point being made is irrelevant...are you a lawyer? Judge, maybe? Ooh, ooh, I know, a politician.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
