Hacking

[bhodi]

A Friend went on to single-handedly destroy ffxi's economy on almost all their servers by running code similar code only with 50 machines in his basement and sold to IGE. Payed off his mother's mortgage and is driving a nice car.

Asshole.

Also, wtf, where the hell are you going to put 50 PCs? The juice to run them = lol

I hope his nice car gets an annoying, but not dangerous, flat tire. 

VMware, I believe.

I botted every tradeskill in UO after a little bit. When I went back a couple years ago after having sold my old account I had 2 craftsmen chars with full 120 skill on all the skills they had that could go so high and I only ever played them long enough to set up macros and give/take items from them (I lie, I liked to mine everynow and then on my miner. I do not know why). Also macroed every non-combat skill when I was sleeping. It is seriously the only way to "level" a char in UO. That shit was so tedious. Never got caught either, doubt many people do unless they afk macro somewhere silly.

Also cheated as an admin on a CS server, but only to catch cheaters out (wallhacks to find the juicy spots, then while watching suspected demos, etc).

Sure - I was able to play the game. Diablo sucked ass if you played "legit" - I had to practically cheat to beat the first boss with the shitty gear you get.

Then you sucked.

I know I am late to this thread, but schild is correct.  Hopefully you are actually talking about Diablo, because it's even more sad if you are talking about Diablo II.  Diablo II was pretty fun for me until I cheated, then suddenly it had no appeal when I could just create shit in my invetory.

I have never cheated in an online game.  Too much work, aside from the ethical concerns that I take seriously.  I have cheated in SP games with varying levels of success, meaning sometimes it helped me with a troublesome area (Blaster Master, Morrowind) and other times I just lost interest (DII).

Is it fair enough to just say that I've never been caught cheating in a game?

I think its fair enough to say that you think that you've never been caught cheating in a game.

No, I was referring to Diablo. I had to kite the Butcher guy (first boss) because my toon didn't yet have enough power to take him toe-to-toe. No way I was simply going to grind for the first boss. Besides, SP Diablo was boring.

I beat Diablo II when it came out. Yawn.

Fair enough.  :-D I guess I should revise to say I've never been banned, suspended, or even verbally warned by a GM for cheating.

Considering the way GMs historicall ignore pleas to halt cheating, I am sure you were noticed but were in as much danger of being busted as a corrupt cop in Mexico City.

Oh god.  Don't you know all you had to do was use a projectile weapon (i always played an archer) and go behind a door with bars (which there was one very close at hand) and shut it between yourselves.  Even if there was another way around into the room, such as an unfinished wall, his AI would make him stand there and grunt at you through the bars and you just shoot away at him.   Ah, I loved Diablo.  Still do.  Playing number 2 now.

I've only cheated once in a game: I macro crafted a couple of toons in DAoC to legendary status.  I figured that crafting in that game put me to sleep anyway... crafting while I slept was nearly the same thing. /rimshot

I still feel guilty about it.  I doubt I'd ever do something like that in a game that I liked again.

I cheated in the original NWN, but that's it.  I was young and cheating was ridiculously easy in NWN.  Good times.
