Hooray
Nice to know that cheaters are being caught.

Snowy · 28th April 2006, 10:47 PM

Amazing. Good to know that the project is moving forward still.

Santi · 29th April 2006, 03:02 AM

So, how can they tell they are exploiting?

Deraj · 29th April 2006, 07:46 AM

Here is a thread describing the "qualities" of a scripter.

For so long these scripters have gone unchecked, that they were becoming quite blatant in their actions, so I'm sure it wasn't hard to miss. Maybe that was EA's strategy... let the scripters grow bold then knock 'em down.

Keep the updates coming! I'm loving this right now. I know that 16 billion is alot, but spread out over all the shards, it's really not so big. I think this is a great start and I look forward to hearing about how many of those scriptor's homes are now either standing empty or gone altogether.

Jhaelyrr · 29th April 2006, 10:31 AM

Across around 30 shards, probably a bit over 500 million a shard? That's a fair bit.

Damage inc. · 29th April 2006, 02:10 PM

Well its only scratching the surface but hell its sure a start

Prizim · 29th April 2006, 11:31 PM

I always love to hear when cheaters get what coming to them... makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Santi · 30th April 2006, 02:06 AM

Deraj, just read the account on the link you provided. That is insane!!! I am going to go around looking for scripters too! Woohoo! You have to be on Felucca to kill em though...so, maybe I won't.

Unfortunately, I believe they did ban accounts.. However there seems to be an unusually high number of young players running about. Which it's not normal to see more than 25 young player status people at the bank at one time, especially at 4:00 PM EST on a Sunday afternoon.
