Hey there,
some - not completly - unrelated news from germany.
Some user, most likely from the anonymus hacker group
is angry about the way frogstar is treating the community.


So he leaked a few accounts with password - to the forum- and set his demands to
frogstar. He threatens the to leak all the 3,5 M account datas and
shutting the server down if they dont fix the issues with lying and censoring
in the community. Also he wants the safety issues to be fixed.
(frogstar is talking about ~2500 "old" login database-sets he would have)

Here is the original post:

so just that you know, one of the demands would be to secure
the game clients against cheating (I guess flyhack and botting)
  • The past week was surely a hard one for you and your employees, but you have to understand that we cannot holding still anymore, watching you how you treat customers, the community and your own employees.

    You had years to show some respect for civil rights, humanity and social attitude.

    But even after we have started our compaign on you, you still refuse to learn.

    You still practice censorship, deleting posts in your bulletin board which express opinions you dont share.
    You still try to take influence on other bulletin boards and set them under pressure, forcing them to delete bulletin board threads you dont like, but where you dont have direct access.
    Your statement was not a satisfying answer to our request, but we are kind. You still have the remaining two weeks. Use the time! Dont waste time with censorship. Better start respecting the people who pay your salary.

    Right now we have more than 3 Million and 5 hundred thousand accounts. 5 hundred thousand of them are already hacked and verified. Your other Games like Bounty Bay Online and Tera are affected too. So you better dont mess with us. Take this serious. Change your mind. Become a valued member of the community and stop abusing them.

    After two weeks we will coming back.

    We will see what happened and what is the mood of the community then.

    We are anonymous.

    We are legend.

    We do not forgive.

    We do not forget.
You still try to take influence on other bulletin boards and set them under pressure, forcing them to delete bulletin board threads you dont like, but where you dont have direct access.

--> like the rom section of elitepvp ....

no anti cheating works are in progress this i can assure you since i have my knowledge in this matter...
for know community managers are responsible to look into boards for any related info and get that further for the investigation, also to handle the opinion of the community
