What was the crack for exactly?

What do you expect anyone to actually do about it even if you told them?

You'll get a pat on the head and a thanks :] We don't have "awards" nor do we give things out for doing what you're supposed to do - report cheats that damage the game. Several have been reported by good players already.

Since you're unable to PM on the forums yet (need 10 posts to enable the function) try catching a developer on IRC. Server freenode, channel #planeshift. Ask if a dev is around, and take it from there.

I ask you sir, how can one claim to be so against something, but wont fight against it without some... ahhh cash incentive?

Also, knowing what this thing does can provide information on how to prevent it from working my friend.

sounds like you cobbled together a little piece of nothing and want to get paid for reporting it...

When I first read it the idea that it was related to PS never even crossed my mind. Maybe because they used the word crack, which is normally used to indicate a patch for software that allows you to use it for free.

What are we talking about, an exploit? Some software that influences the game (a bot for example)?

Since PlaneShift is free, it's most likely an exploit/cheat of some sort. I did a quick search and found something on bittorrent sites but there don't seem to be any seeders or leechers for it, and it looks like it was first posted about 2-3 weeks ago. I didn't bother doing any further searches but it's possible that it's also on some website out there.

Hehe, reward. good one mate. I doubt anyone rewards people to find bugs around here, when there are so many of us doing it for free.


EDIT: Quick question, how are you gonna crack a free game?

Hehe, 'google-fu'. I love that...


Anyway, Marcus, these guys are just kidding. I'm the guy who's in charge of, er, rewarding snitches around here, so if you just send me an e-mail outlining what it is and how it works I'd be happy to 'reward' you for your taxing effort... :whistling:

Kudos on the totally random comment though. You make me proud :P
