    Considering a lot of you are taking it very seriously, the security breach thing was a hoax for april fools, alongside all the Shad related hilarity. We used it as an excuse to get some fixes in that needed putting in but were too mundane to report.

    Sorry if we scared some people. You’ll live :)

    However, keep your eye on that incarnum fellow. He might not have hacked 30% of the KAG population, but he certainly might mail pornography to your grandmother. Be on the alert.

    Oh you immature tricksters, everyone asked me and I told them the truth, you remind me of my Dad, waking me up early and saying that there was ice-cream for breakfast. ETC. ETC. ETC.

    What did a secruity threat cost you, 5 minutes of your life?
    Also congrats to MM and Geti for wording that great, I couldn't understand most of the sh*t you said but it still sounded believable. :D :P :)

    haha yeah i guess.
    The breach was just to get you to patch. Worked. Potentially worth getting downgraded to "as not funny as my dad".

    Actually considering my servers recent lag upon players connecting, and incarnum having my server details, I seriously entertained the idea of my server being affected by this security exploit :/

    I knew it was a hoax! Expecially when they mentioned the Autopatcher! if there were to allow the server to add mods to the client it wont need to touch the autopatcher. Also the autopatcher only connects to the main server. When i thought about it, you guys are way too cautious to let this happen. You don't even let new texture -.-

    I didn't have the patch that supposedly had the security breach, but anything that might infect my computer with malicious stuff or cause porn popups is scary, so I only find the hoax half funny.
