Main points:
I know most of the players @ LYN are IT savvies but this is just a heads up / alert to players here. I visited the webpage myself and I must say its cloning skill are, not that bad. Can easily catch unsuspecting players; or even those whom are experienced internet users if they are not alert / careful enough.

Better be safe than sorry

yeap, watched the video and OMFG! luckily he just hacked the fella's pc for the diablo virtual stuff.... what if he did something else?

Yes. That'd be pretty scary, I believe at least half of the victims that fell for this have not cleaned their PC from it yet, as most of them do not know what to do. Since the hacker can access their PC at any time, they may fall for it again in the future, or even lose something valuable IRL (say, rl $/etc)

LOOOOOLLLLZzzzZz

you'd like to think the format master technician are really IT savvy.

regardless, thanks for the heads up

Haha. It's just a prevention inb4 replies like "hahaha who will fall for this! only l33tn00bz wilL!" starts appearing

No problem for that, just wanna alert players here, since prevention is better than cure itself

thx for the heads up

but lately there are too many b@stards on public games

my hC charc just died yesterday coz some douchebag did the banner warp mob lure shit

its kinda a fact that the game is gonna get filled with a$$holes like these ppl since most of the better players quit this game already.

lol sorry to hear that

your HC what level?

36 iirc, i wouldnt be so pissed if it was other class, but it was a wiz, and my last wiz died at 53, kinda wanna ditch this game altogether now, wiz is a b!tch to lvl

if you play HC with pubs, you have no one to blame but yourself.
hell, you play HC and you died, never saw it coming or what?

ps: see why i don't play HC? dont think i need the unneeded frustration in my Casual™ gaming

i agree its my own fault for that death, but nahhh, still hate fvckers that does these kinda things, its a cheap thing to do, i dont mind dying, but not like this.

I think thats a pretty bad statement. Its more or less the equivalent of saying "If you get robbed while going out, you have nobody to blame but yourself for leaving your house".

I know, you're going to say that its not the same because we need to leave the house to work, to shop etc etc. But then I'll say I play public games because I need to go out and interact with people. So what next?

Below is my prediction of how this discussion will go.

If I play HC, my games will be private at all times unless you play with someone you know, even with that when you play with your buddies, it is standard procedure to ask about their status before banner warp...

im too paranoid to trust my hc char to pubs. but that's just me

there's this thing called anonymity which can turn even the nicest guy IRL to complete assholes on the internet. if you need me to explain further, then i think it's best that you experience the internet more yourself. or maybe take a glance at website/boards like 4chan.
not to mention robbing someone have dire consequences of getting fined and/or jailed assuming you're caught. griefing a HC character in a game? nope that's legal. there's also a disclaimer that if you play HC and it dies, you have NO DISPUTE or whatsoever with the admins.

but hey maybe keep the prediction to yourself next time. maybe you can go "HAH TOTALLY PREDICTED THAT" instead of me saying "lol you predict wrong"
really though, what's the point?

i wonder why people play HC ? 1 death all your efforts go down to drain, not like some other MMORPG, the HC style gets you x5 exp and x5 drops.
but diablo one still the same shit, just perma death mode.

i already ditch this game and just log in to make some extra bucks of USD for my new game

good for you

HC bcos there are excitement inside. SC die then die la can revive. HC is where your true skill plays (apart from gears)

Sure..the excitment is intense..but the pain of losing your HC hero to lag storm is too hard to bear...that is why I dont play HC. So many times liao play play...masuk cave meet elites...stand there cannot move 3 sec..."you have died and yuor items lose 10%..."

SC when die due to lag will...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU you mother fakka TM nut/Blizzard....not my fault I die wei!!!!!!!!! I duno how will I act if my level 59 HC died..because of 1.5k latency for 3 sec...

most of us that played HC understand the risk we face, i dont expect others to follow suit nor understand what we feel when our charc dies(each of us have our own preference)

there is so many ways how a HC charc can die, but dying by griefing is just wrg for me in a moral point of view. its not unexpected.

im just a human, i do have a level of attachment to my charcs, and when it gets killed by a way i find really wrong, i do get angry, but such is life, we move on.

what gamers look for in a game varies so much these days, some find relaxation in it, some look for challange, some just look for it to waste time etc etc.

as for me, i have kinda just let that anger and incident go after a good sleep, but if i find anyone i know doing that grief shit, ill fvcking grief u irl

Wow, u guys/girls dares to play HC?

i foresee lagmodan will kill meh
