In game mail and speed hacksSource
Zhuge
Hello,
Recently, I have encountered more and more players using some kind of hacks program. The 2 most obvious one:
1. Receiving in game mail from a supposedly "guildy" asking us to download some .exe program.
2. I noticed that my new mail is grey, as if I already opened it., which I haven't
3. I encounter some players using some kind of speed hacks. They appear jumpy and they run faster than me on 280% flying mount. I can't catch their name since they move so fast.
I am concern that there's a vulnerability in the email system. Now, they seem harmless, but I am afraid they will be able to access and got the content of the mail(and the item attachment) later.
The speed hacks destroys the experience of gathering resource. There should be a built in mechanism on the server for this. For example, if one mines an ore at location x at t1 and later mines another one at location y at t2. The server must enforce that the elapse time between t1 and t2 are within the parameter that the games allowed (i.e max 280% speed). If it's not, then perma ban!!!
Hopefully it worths anything.
Cheers,
Zhuge
