Myth II Servers Exploited, Culprits Banned

An anonymous reader writes "The main fan-run Myth II server, PlayMyth.net seems to have been hacked. Their web page is still online, but the game server has been taken down until they can find and fix the exploit. A posting made by hackers declaring their intention can be found on the ProjectMagma messageboard." After extravagant threats by the 'hackers', the PlayMyth admins stepped in and have explained the exploit and banned the players, hopefully bringing this matter to a close.

The reason Myth II gets exposure on Slashdot is because the game servers are entirely run by the (admitidly relativly small) community of players. After being bought by Microsoft Bungie closed their own servers, and rather than leaving the players in the cold, released their server source code. The folks at PlayMyth steppped in and have been hosting ever since. Also worth noting is that the people at ProjectMagma, another group of Myth fans, continue to release patches to Myth II, as they received the source code for work included in Myth III.
