Shadowbane Hacking Redux - Guild Bannings
Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to a report on Gamerifts.com tracking the results of the investigation into the Shadowbane MMORPG hacking. According to a post on the official Ubisoft forums reprinted there, "..all of the members from the Guild Invictus were banned from Shadowbane for using teleport exploits, many of which culminated during the events of May 27th and 28th. As all members where banned, all money has been removed from their buildings and their Tree of Life, and the city will be left to die." There's no news on whether criminal charges may be filed, as threatened when the original exploit took place.
This is one of the many reasons so many people hate MMORPGs. The makers are usually so anal retentive about the exploitation of bugs. Seems so hypocritical seeing as how its their fault the bug exists in the first place. If they don't want people "exploiting" they should just fix the damn bugs. Furthermore, this mass banning benefits no one. Players are pissed, company looses money, so what's the friggen point?
Enough said.
You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!
