Our game servers, account databases, and support sites are under constant attack and being probed for any vulnerability. It’s a war that by no means is over. -Scott Jennings, NCsoft on Aion. There may not be a fight between gold farmers and developers as intense what is going on between Aion and the gold farmers. … Continue reading “G-Unit Reports: No Critical Security Issues”
Another day, another development in the ongoing NCsoft security issue. Amidst widespread fear of account theft, security holes, and random account logging, with Guild Wars and Aion leading the pack, it was only a matter of time before City of Heroes joined the pack warning users to increase their awareness. The reminder is standard trade: … Continue reading “City of Heroes: Keep Your Accounts Safe”

If Dungeon Runners could be compared to any game on the market, you could probably stick it as World of Warcraft with a mix of Diablo, where players actively click to make their characters attack. Players do their trading and grouping in public hubs, and then go off to raid various dungeons of varying level, … Continue reading “Dungeon Runners to Shut Down”
