cb broadcasted somewhere-> it's a possible virus
« on: December 17, 2004, 06:31:53 pm »
The size of cb seems to be 186.30 Mb for the 0.3.002...
If it\'s not that please developpers answer to this post its extremly important. Somebody is broadcasting this release of cb and I\'m affraid it could be a virus. I wanna warn the community.

And were can you download it?
We can\'t help this way :/

And btw the client is useless without a server :)

Tell us who is broadcasting this file, and where. CB is definitely larger than 180mb (with Art files, anyway).

No, pre-update that is the correct size.  Actually, I guess you are correct then, since that would be without art.

I wont give you the address where I found it. I gave the address to androgos. I think he\'ll do what he has to do.

PLEASE ALL : EVERYBODY ARE WAITING FOR THE UPDATE !!! DONT THINK THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO DOWNLOAD IT BUT THE OFFICIAL SERVER. THE HACKERS ARE MAYBE WAITING FOR US.

and even if you have cb... if you don\'t have a login... you can\'t play !

if someone hacked the client they can get the server client as well i\'d assume. start there own server and look at how everything works, no big deal

there are commits to the CVS at the moment, i think if you download this version, a) you have no server, b) it seems that you have no art, or not all art and c) as soon as CB is out you will have some bugs our you even cant connect...

Hi,
you should download PlaneShift only for the official main site when it will be available. Any executable that you download from the net can easily contain a virus or a trojan program. The rule is valid for any software. One of the reasons for virus spreading so fast these days are the number of P2P applications that download virus injected programs. The internal updates of PlaneShift executable are quite fast at the moment since we are still fixing bugs, this means that any exe you may find is most probably a fake or anyway out of date

Yea, Talad is right. Do only the client download off the official site. Since you guys can\'t answer the release date, when will migration of characters be going on?
Signature deleted for being too small. It was soo small, it represented the smallest sig in the world.

strange... I was sure I send a mp to androgos ! I tried to contact osy too maybe I forgot to send the mp (I was busy...). Now I lost the address (I copy the edonkey address to send the address to androgos but if I forgot to send it... I lost it)

It was an edonkey address. I was on emule and searched for planeshift (just looking what\'s about ps on emule). I\'m saying that cause since yesterday the guy who broadcasts the cb release don\'t broadcast it anymore (there was only one person who send the release so maybe will he keep broadcasting it later...).

So the warning is still alive...

Only thing I saw on emule was the 0.2100 release or whatever the last MB release was, but no cb.

Maybe he just accidentaly changed the name of the MB client, or it was just a joke, or you\'re a liar :P
