Hacker on Live Servers (You have been warned, you cannot unsee this...ever.)


Solarverse

Recommended Posts

A little throwback to live servers, video quality is crap, 480p, but, this was a hacker on Freedom server. Not sure if he was ever caught or not, but this was the most creepy thing I had ever seen in game in all my years playing it.

Remember, once you hit the play button, you cannot unsee this and you will never be the same again.

You have been warned.

Just seeing the thumbnail image behind the play button is enough that I remember when this happened, someone found a way to exploit an aspect of the character creation process (if I remember right having something to do with costume files?) which resulted in some... nightmare fueled creations for a few days.

Tosh from Tosh.o made a joke about never googling a certain thing.  So of course I did.  Wow.   Comedy hurts.  
 

Now when someone says “hey you might not want to do that” I just wander on down the road.

Reminds me of those spindly arm and leg looking aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind . . . great film but freaking nightmare fuel.

I’m getting a real Rudy Giuliani vibe from this. Bu I could only watch for about 10 seconds…

I recall a story that I heard back in the live days:  someone found a similar way to get really tall, like the entire character model, not just the parts, and they were standing around playing dumb "I dunno man, it just happened or something!"  They got banned.

 

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...

That's a shame, but at the same time, if I had stumbled across something that allowed me to do that, I would think long and hard before doing it. Well, not really, that would be an instant "nope" for me, but...lol.
