Hero Siege Taken Offline After Hacker Bans Everyone
Let’s start the new year off with a bit of comedy.
Hero Siege servers have been taken offline for a period of time today. The problem? A hacker managed to make his way into the system and ban every account in the game. According to the news post which we have reposted below for your pleasure, this attack has been ongoing for several weeks with the most recent escalation taking down every account.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is a hacker attacking our servers and the person has managed to ban every account in the game. This attack has been going for weeks and has now escalated. We are currently looking for a fix to this and have disabled multiplayer for a while.
We are sorry for the issue.
As of 5:07p.m. EST, the issue appears to have been fixed with the servers brought back online and everyone unbanned.

Survarium Kills Off More Cheaters
Survarium developer Vostok Games has announced a new ban wave of 139 players over the past week for the use of prohibited software. For those unaware, Vostok Games is one of the few developers willing to name and shame the players who are punished in their public announcements. You can find the entire list below, however many of the names will be illegible if you don’t happen to read Cyrillic.
For more coverage of Survarium, check out our first impressions.

H1Z1 “The Tears Of A Hacker” Video
The folks at H1Z1 have put together a video narrating the multitude of emails to customer support from players banned for cheating. While some try to plead, others feign ignorance or resort to a slurry of obscenities.
Either way, the end result is rather entertaining.
ArcheAge Teleport Hackers Caught On Video
Need a good reason to avoid ArcheAge for the time being? Here is one, the game is filled with hackers. Not the kind of hackers that steal your account, the kind that are able to teleport throughout the game, grabbing up land as soon as it becomes available and running trade routes immediately to bring in massive amounts of gold. Bots have dominated ArcheAge since launch, and every day continue to flood the economy with gold farmed through hacks, land automatically purchased through hacks, and trader rewards achieved through hacks. You can see in the above video that there is even a bot to report people for killing other bots.
