Greetings, if you are looking here, it means you are fed up with the Colony hacks. I hope that Krin sees this and attempts to follow my proposition, as i KNOW it would reduce hacking to a bare minimum.

1: Have administrators. I understand why this may be improbable seeing as it's a free game, but it really is a necessity. Somebody who can be told "xyz is cheating by doing this." All games within the past 1 hour are recorded and the admin can observe the game and determine whether or not that person is cheating. If so, one time caught cheating results in an account closure. New problem "hackers can just make a new account...or play as guest..." refer to steps 2+3.

2: Link Colony accounts to an email address. When you insert your name and password, also require an email address. ONCE AN EMAIL HAS BEEN USED, MAKE IT UNABLE TO LINK TO A NEW ACCOUNT. That means, one email: one account. If people want to hack, they have to keep on making email accounts which is both time consuming and boring.

3: The guest problem: Eliminate guests. What is the purpose of a guest? To allow new players to experience online play? If a person wants to try online play, they should only need to insert a username, create a password, email address, and they can play...nobody enjoys playing with a guest, it's a risk to have on your team, they either don't know what a bank is, are rank 10's in hiding, or hackers. Get rid of them.

Feel free to comment upon whether you think this is a good or bad idea, or whether it will even work. Personally, I think it would vastly reduce the hacking going on, but I also understand it would be difficult to get admins.

Thanks for your time,
-Lifemaster

I already reported many Hackers to the admins this week, they should be doing something.

If I thought the admins would do anything I have about 300 screen shots of hackers hacking however it has been my experience that they don't do anything!

I believe with the recent blowup of Colony hacking complaint threads they could do something.

Likes your comment perhaps?

Anywho, I think maybe one or two hack files might have been taken down but there will always be some somewhere for dirty hackers to get their grubby paws on.:L

Well i know for sure the 2 hacked version of the game on APH arent working (I checked myself). But there are many other hacking sites that allow people to hack the game. Also, cheat Engine is very popular for hackers. Here is one thing i would like to say to Krin, sitelock the game. Reasons:
1:It is very hard to break
2:It is ILLEGAL to break

And you should also encrypt the swf if you havent already.

heh, 3 months with the APH people have payed off.

So, people who don't like hacking become hackers to stop hackers? Won't go very well, if you ask me.:L

That is how the game works sadly. The community is fighting back now, just as it did in 2009 by making a hacker list.

HA HA, u r right anddd wrong my friend. This is the REAL anti hacker, like in 5.3 we had actuall anti hackers....though, self control was an issue for some.... in my opinion this is the last and at this point, (or as it seems) the only choice........ it(since no one else can) restores balance to the game, everyone is on an even plane...... so to speak....... we all have the same tools in hand, and it once agains comes down to who is best...... so to speak....... although the game itself will suffer butttttttt, the quality of gamers has deteriorated to near null, sooooo its only natural so does the game XD...... hmmmm...... it kinda hurt to say that..

well, this has been my philosophy since the 5.3 incident...

Yeah, "some" is too many. Hate it when people join the ranks of hackers and then pretend they are doing us a justice when they spam everything and hack everyone under false accounts and what not...Obviously, not everyone does this but a few do, sadly:L

So, all games will result in insta kill saint...3 second games for the win.:P I think we should just put a BIG bubble around all the hackers and then send them to the sun. Lol.
