I fixed a pronoun that may have led to some confusion. I had originally put "it was obviously a TR member that had done it" when what I was referring to was entering the ranks of our guild. As far as the database hacking that is a timely coincidence that was only caught due to us being more alert. We had no reason to investigate any activity until we discovered the first spy or hacker. At that point it was a long list of IPs connected to proxy hosting services.

The contents of that post are irrelevant, Barkingturtle. The bug's been fixed and I was never shy about telling people what was going on. All I got out of it was a couple illusions I shouldn't be able to use.

I am, however, absolutely baffled by the fact that we've got people logging in from proxies and dedicated hosting farms, using other peoples' credentials, just to spy on an EQ guild on an emulated server of a -game-. I'd like to note that I, myself, have not pointed any fingers at TR, but I have spent a great deal of time tracking down where these people have logged in from, and it really sucks that I have to spend my time doing this. I'd rather be playing the game.

So, here's the deal. I don't care who's done/doing this. It doesn't matter. The internet is very large, and I will never catch you. What I ask is this:

The TMO forums are hosted on my server. This is like my house. You are running through my house, uninvited. Get out. I don't care who you are, and I don't care why you're doing this, but you're ruining this experience for me and for others, and you have no right.

If you are registered on the TMO forums, and you use the same username/password elsewhere, change it now. These people downloaded our database on the 25th of July. Forum passwords are typically easily broken using various software. You have been warned.

Here's Loly posting a screenshot of IB's private forums. If TR ever has any problems with their website, Loly is obviously suspect number one.

Eh, people are defecating in socks, for God's sake. The level of dedication and ingenuity of this community's members should never be doubted.

Actually I agree with the above quoted. It's nuts, in my professional opinion. You should all, we should all, everyone should take away from this and just about every bit of drama invented around these parts that this shit is a game. Ban TMO and TR, imo. For their own well-being.

Loly was giving access by an IB member... Elaida... no hacking was envolved

Subscription porn > free porn. Unless you are pirating subscription porn. And even still, some sites have benefits for subscribing, such as live feeds and such.

I'll take high quality 1080p streaming on my big screen over shitty low res any day.

In vanguard one of the top guilds members wrote a real nice parser for the game that actually uploaded all your logs to his server so he could work out how the end mob encounters worked in APW... its amazing how serious people are about these games.. hehe

The past 7 days have really blown me away. I take the developers advice though and don't associate the forums with the server for anything other than patch updates. Sorry to hear about this though, its nucking futs.

People are given information on competing guilds all the time, by disgruntled members, by those in the guild seeking to cause drama, whatever it may be.

Just because TR had access to your private forums doesn't mean they hacked you, which was what Aedill was trying to link in his initial post (yeah, bold TR's name, go out of the way to link them to the incident and claim it's a history). My point was that Loly, etc. had access to other guild's private guild forums too so if we follow Aedill's logic, the next time anything suspicious happens to TR, Loly should be the suspect. I'm assuming you can see how ridiculous that line of reasoning is.
