Anti Hacker Wrote:Scott I wasn't talking about Character data when I was talking about the DPA.
The DPA wouldn't be concerned in this case, as the data for buying the HL itself is not stored on the same servers, or the game data itself, there are a few hair-thin laws regulating it in regards to the Consumer Products/Goods act and the Fair Trades Act are concerned, but these are very tangeable and hard to varify in a case such as this.
The DPA is generally only used for personal details regarding a person themselves, so if they asked for your nationality, then publicly released it along with your name to a global market, then it's an infringment of the DPA, (eg. if they said 30% of PSO players were Asian, then gave their names, that'd be illegal), however, if they only gave the details, such as the 30%, but not the names, then it's legal.
Since the bank details are stored on regular PC server, this is even more proof that PSO:BB is even worse, with BB, they will be able to get the details while playing the game, you can't hack a bank account using an AR.
People can hack your game data, your PC and your bank details, all on 1 PC, the worst they can do on GC/XB/DC is hack the character data.
Not that it'd bother me either way, I'm one of these people that'll insure everything close to their heart, including all of my bank accounts, cards, and chequebooks.

And it's normal players who hack who claim they can hack, I've never hacked PSO or anything for trivial reasons, putting egg on your face.
And Anti, as for it being a better game, it isn't when you get BSOD or something on BB and start whinging about it saying how great PSO5/PSU will be, this will further be prooving my point, keep in mind you told me you left PSO on GC because of this.
Keep in mind, they could hack your entire HD and they can do more than £15 worth of damage, I hope that this doesn't happen to you, but if it does, I'll buy you a new computer with my smug grin on it, knowing that in this case, you can get hacked on a PC not on a GC.
That and the graphics are the same, and you instantly know the GC version will work when you put it in your GC, unlike with PC games, having specs, recommended specs, equivilent specs and all that rubbish, (though I seriously doubt theres a piece of software on this planet my network couldn't run).
Only a fool will play BB and think they're any safer.
It may be a better game for the new button configuration and PSO4, yes, I can admit to that, but I can also admit it has many more security flaws too.
Speaking of button configuration, I wish ASCII/SAMMY users were able to re-configure the game to allow for 12 hot-keyed actions on PSO1/2 and possibly even for PSO3.
