Hi,

As many of you know there are public Aion hacks out there. I am not going to link the sites in order not to advertise them.

The reason i make this thread is to hear from NCWest what they do about it. With GameGuard down is the game totally unprotected? As an assassin it is a gamebreaking issue for me if every spoiled kid who can google runs around in the Abyss with a radar hack and NCSoft does nothing about it. I am expecting to be informed about this. Thanks in advance.

Notes:
1.
This is not a "bring GameGuard back" thread. From what i heard GameGuard was being bypassed easily and was causing problems too. This is just a "is anything done about it or should i get the hell out before the game becomes a hackfest" thread.

I don't expect from Aion or any game to detect every hack out there. There will always be people who find a way around things. And that's not a big issue either, because there are few such people. But when a hack is public and you come across several people using it within a day it ruins the game. And by public hack i mean those that are sold too. At least the public hacks should be detected ASAP.

The short answer is that we investigate all cases we come across either through user reports or other types of monitoring. Hacking is, if discovered to be happening, punished very severely (this will in most cases mean an introduction to a certain, named hammer). We will also push to fix any potential holes as quickly as possible and look into taking further actions against the eventual providers of related services.

I think you're right, expanded the answer.
