Disturbing news, people.
The official forums are currently awash with topics about something similiar to FSOD. People called FS0D and FS1D (I think) were in Cronus, one at least had a GM costume (FS0D) and was apparently inviting people to join a game. Upon doing so, the clients of these people got crashed - I'm not sure if items were lost, but it seems possible. It looks like the hacker is Broomop.
I doubt any of my fellow BBers here is stupid enough to join these sort of games, but in any case this is a heads-up in case it happens again. Hopefully, Broomop or whoever it was will have been banned.
This isn't scare-mongering. BB remains the least hacked version of PSO to date, however the fact that these hackers are active and are causing trouble is, regardless, somewhat worrying.
