There was a hack going around on private hacking forums that lagged the game servers. Some absolute idiot re released it publicly. Now lots of people are lagging the servers, which is why they're crashing.

Not to sound rude, but hopefully this kind of thing will open the eyes of ijji and company to the excessive amount of hacking going on in clan wars and the quest servers and patch the hacks. Especially the clan war servers.

They can't patch all the hacks without completely rewriting the way the system files work. Within five minutes of the servers being patched hacks are re released, because there's just nothing they can do.

They can do somethin, GET STARTED ON THE PATCHES. They can at least put a message on the Forums to let players know. I doubt they even moved a finger yet.

You don't get it. All the hackers have to do is edit a couple of numbers and their hacks work again. ijji can't do anything.

>_> Crap, dam numbers. Sometimes I rly wish important software is completely written in a code different than numbers.

They patch the hacks almost everyday and everyday 1 hour later, the hacks are released again...At the moment they really can't do anything.

They would need to take the most used hacks(lawnmower, flipmower, hp lock and constant strike) and change the values of their respective effects.
Say HP lock/Godmode. Hackers can use this hack because they isolate the value of HP within the game and then set it so that it remains at 100(or the highest Hp for that character). if Ijji changed the value of HP within the game, the hacks would become obsolete, forcing hackers to scramble to find the value once m ore, which takes an unbelievable amount of time.
However, a project like that would take a lot of time and effort on Ijji's part. However, with the money I spent on prems, I expect them to do everything within their measure to stop this.
Everyone spent the same, if not more, ammount of money on prems as well...As for changing the hp from 100, if you die, you can see someone else's hp. That won't help much. What they need to do is change the value of the hp but still say and make the counter read 100% instead of saying the definate value so it would take a lot longer to find out it.
