Speedhack outbreak.

Post by Mishka »

We are having 5+ members who have speedhacked in the past 2 weeks. Reason? Lack of moderation.


I will not say their names in the public forums, specially without having the famous "screenshot".

Oh and let me break it down clear here, this game is very easy to speedhack. :wink: I think you guys (if there's anyone there still) should do something about it. Don't you think?

Ok thanks.

I have no reason to speedhack and even when i have, i haven't. I know exactly what to do etc and i suppose the information is readily avaliable. If i catch anyone doing this, i won't hesitate to report them and get them banned from the game in every way possible, including sending information to world owners if i can.

For some reason though speed hack protection on worlds spec locks me alot even though im not doing anything. Whether that still happens to me i dont know but its not happened in a while so hopefully its been fixed.

Yes Mark, that's just pure hack. And that's very serious, and I really have no idea how it was done.

out of curiosity, does anybody have a list of all who are known or suspected to actually be using a hack in space?

Yea that would be very useful although i doubt the staff would appreciate us naming people on here. Just email the list to the abuse@theuniversal.net or whatever it is.

actually i was thinking more along the lines of possibly banning them from zoric.
cheaters are cheaters. i don't want cheaters on zoric.

If I see someone hacking I will report it. Though it will be a bit tough to prove unlimited missles with a screeny; if they launch more than their ship can hold simutaniously though. Time for Mit and Fooli to take out their ban hammers.
