Warhammer Online News

Well the topic of this developer diary is a naughty word—the H word—H
****** - er… hacking.  It’s something we at Mythic don’t often talk
about openly, but we do take very seriously.  It’s a very interesting
subject that I’d love to talk in-depth about; it has many challenges
and curiosities that make for an interesting discussion.  I get a sense
of joy when I know we’ve ruined a hacker’s day. Unfortunately,
“fighting the good fight” is very cloak-and-daggers stuff, going back
and forth, with the hackers and cheaters—so, to talk about it in great
detail also gives information to the very people we’re attempting to
thwart.  Here’s my best shot at showing you a glimpse behind the
curtain about how we handle hacking and cheaters without giving away
too many of our secrets!
