About the Sprite hacks...

Dear Players,

First let me explain what sprite hack is:
Sprite hack is changing the image (sprite) of a certain item (such as a balrog tooth) with a larger image of another item (such as a table). The advantage of this is that the items become visible very easily and because they are larger they are easier to pick up. This is an unfair advantage over other players.

This morning I've performed checks on several people regarding sprite hacks. This has confirmed our previous checks and there is now absolutely NO DOUBT that these people have indeed sprite hacked. The following people have sprite hacked:
ArcherGirl, bigoldman, bockjobber, BOCKLOVE, BuLeGoN, coffeeprincess, GORDA, heha, JessicaSave, JessicaSSSS, Jimmi, Kagura, KG, limaOwns, Liz, Masaki, nightgooser, PeterChan, peterchao, PuffPuff, RKCK, Sara, Screw, Sima, Stax, TaiwaneseWizard, TinGMonArch, xmonica

Even if you yourself did not sprite hack, someone who has access to your account did. This is the risk of sharing your account and we've always warned and advised against it.

Punishment for these players is still being decided. We will announce this later on.

Kind regards,
The GM Team


If this is true (and probably it is cause you guys (GM-Team) checked it very well and found out that many people are using this kind of Hack) I'd say go ahead and Ban them for 3 Months, and remove all the Legends they have picked up by using this Hack, would make them suffer alot. :trade:

One week? Most of those Chara's are not active the whole week, and log on only for the Big Maze, so being banned for one week and not to show off in the Big Maze wouldn't be a punishment in my eyes, and what about the Legends, how we know they havent build a whole Legend set by using this Hack? Wouldn't it be really unfair to us if they keep those Items they looted?

I think > Find the items looted

Remove them if they still have them , If sold, remove from them what it was sold for e.g sards rares or re

wt if, there is a hacker, who isnt related to the owner/the one who knows the ID, hack these char?
it's the reponsibility to the players be banned above, or the reponsibility of GM team?

Find what dates the hack was used

Find the IP of the players on it

Compare to another time the hack was used on a diff char / same char
