Illegal means "Its against the law"
Modding a game is against Disney policy but its not illegal. |

If it is a matter of exploiting glitches in the game then no its not "illegal" but if it is a matter of hacking into the game engine then yes it could very well be interpreted by authorities as illegal.

I got anwsers to everything ur saying ppl werent getting hacked they were simply giving out info to there friends not very good ones and shareing accounts until one of 'em decided to change passwords to accounts that wernt really theres others told there friend and they told others and they stole it... ik cause it happened to atleast 6 ppl ik 4 of 'em being my friend, its kinda sad cause we were all friends its madness <.< and still happening.Another so called (hack) auto lvling. It's were you can turn the program on and it will click for you thats not really hacking because it doesnt increase or decrease anything or speed up anything just allows you to attack enemys while ur afk which is easy for lvling....the glitch were the guys standing on water and stuff isnt a hack its a old glitch that anyone wit a light sloop and phantom spirits could do havent seen anyone do it in a while tho cause like i said its old.......but as for the color text im clueless and ik some hackers that i havent gotten along with... they use some program that somehow increases ur accuracy and decreases the chance of you getting hit i hate goin in to pvp with ppl like that cause it just aint fair...

Umm... Nate?
1st of all : I am amazed at how much you wrote! :P 2nd of all: I ask this constantly, could you add periods and caps please? Thanks!  3rd: We are talking about actual HACKERS. The get into the game and change the system. and that program is a 3rd-Party and the rules say that those are against the rules and you can get a Perma-Ban for using it. LoL... /EndMini-Rant Last edited by Batleth; 05-06-2012 at 04:08 PM.. Reason: removed edited quote and name of 3rd party program |

Davy is right. Caught one doing a third party auto clicker very recently and POTCO is adamant that those who use them will be banned. Report them using that in-game function. Even though they won't say a peep to avoid getting banned, they still can be banned.
And one more thing about this discussion I would like to point out: Doesn't matter how you splice it. Cheating is cheating, hacking is hacking, AND trespassing is trespassing. Messing around with someone's intellectual private property is equivalent to enjoying your neighbor's pool while he's away on vacation without his express written consent. Oh Judge Judy... |

All modification of the game is illegal. . . and is against your terms of service agreement.. as is using an out side game modification program such as a cheat engine. Many use game modification and cheat engines in privateering... and I have talked to Disney about this till I am blue in the face. Guess they allow it because someone at Disney favors them.

Guess wrong, Mate. They're not really favored. Given their track record, POTCO is developing the system to detect such 'modifications'. It's only a matter of time and when it happens, guess who will me crying the most? Every one of those cheaters, hackers, and trespassers who have gotten by with it since whenever. I support any and all measures POTCO comes up with to stick it to those guys.

Hear, hear. They're not getting much out of it, really, and they're making it miserable for the rest of us.

I "lol" at the people who actually think modding or hacking is okay. Sure, it's not like you'll go to prison like others like lerzba said, but it's not like you can actually do what you want. Look at this way. Let's be in Disney's shoes. (Probably yellow, because that's how the Mouse uses it.) Let's say we create a game for players to enjoy. All of a sudden, people are reporting hacking and modding third party programs. Would you tell them, "Hey, it's all right. After all, it's really fun to do. Heck, let them all hack and mod as much as they want. It's fair!" I wouldn't think so. Now, let's be in the hacker's and modder's shoes. This is what they're honestly thinking. "If I found this, then certainly everyone should know how. *tells everyone the glitch*" Now, that was only the glitching point of view. Now, let's really try the hacker's and modder's shoes. They're thinking, "Gaining rep is too hard. I wish there were a way to make it easier. Why not use a third party program?" Now, I am NOT trying to offend anyone in any way but honestly, gaining rep isn't SUPPOSED to be easy. Why do you think they use the phrase "Most feared pirate in the Caribbean"? It's supposed to be an accomplishment! Not the click of a button and then boom, you're all maxed. How do you think I felt when I mastered my pirate, then all of a sudden, I saw people using auto clickers and mods to master themselves and cheat? Honestly, that's not how it's supposed to work. How would you get that sense of accomplishment if it only took maybe a day to master? Seriously, my two cents is that this is what people need to think about. End of rant. (I'm pretty surprised at myself, 'cuz this is one big rant compared to the small ones I've made. O_o)

Toontown has been having some similar problems with hacking and players. Players can be banned yet it's still a pretty big issue. I'm sure developers weren't aware of any flaws in Panda3D or python which would lead to Toontown or POTCO being vulnerable.
Unfortunately, unless developers can fix the vulnerability issues the best they can do is ban the hackers. It became pretty serious on Toontown, though, from what I'm aware of. I hope it doesn't become a big issue here, though. |

I can't speak with clear authority on that technical side. What I can tell you is this: it's how the system is programmed that will fix the problem. POTCO won't tell any one of us whether they're working on it, or not. They won't even tell us in the Release Notes when it hits live either. We'll know it did when these guys who only play and thrive in games where they can cheat, hack, and trespass at will start getting hit where it's gonna hurt most.
In that day, POTCO will gain greater respect from honest players such as myself while their detractors will be busy removing the egg from their own faces. rofl

While font color changes seem like they aren't important, people who can achieve that are probably able to cheat the system and reach level 50 in record time. What seems like something insignificant can just be the stepping stone to something far more rule-breaking. |

~~~~ On a similar note, pretty soon, I imagine, they will find out how to pack enough exp to get automaticly to level 50 from any enemy, automaticly master any weapon with the complete of one kill/complete/catch/sink. Probably change their names and the colour of their names, their body type and make it so they can purchase any clothing item for 0 gold. Probably max their gold and allow themselves to become founders and get the skull and bones above their heads. That was just the tip of the iceberd. We must stop them while we can, or POTCO may be destined to end up with VMK..... |
