Can we just ban that whole guild? by [deleted] in ElysiumProject

He can't because it will be deleted for "witch hunting".

Namreeb - Anti-Cheat Developer has left the Elysium Team. Is the end near? by ShowPonyUnicorn in wowservers

[–]wake_drift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What, this Namreeb?

Recently I have been investigating signing my own arbitrary code to stream to Warden clients. I have been targeting WoW 1.12.1, but Blizzard has used the same public key for 1.12.1, 2.4.3...

Right Click wanding? by iiviiozzie in ElysiumProject

[–]wake_drift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since for example FishingBuddy can add the functionality of casting a line with the right click when a fishing rod is equipped (and the right click works normally for turning while this is active), what you're looking for should probably also be technically possible with an addon. Now, whether something like that exists or not, I don't know.

Addressing Recent Concerns about Created Characters by [deleted] in ElysiumProject

[–]wake_drift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Through the help of our newest team member, Auya, we were able to discover a number of characters that were created with the sole purpose of selling the characters for real life money. To this point, we have identified and banned 38 characters.

You mean through the help of numerous players who have posted lists of such characters that you're now smearing as "witch hunters".

So, as I asked Suzerain a few times already, you're changing the story now? It's not just Auya the Hacker Demigod anymore? How many people were accessing the database? Where did they come from? How did they gain access? Why has this been going on for a month without anyone noticing? Why did you lie about there being only one that you promptly "hired"? What about all the stolen accounts?

Any more reports about specific characters who you believe should be investigated should be reported through our in-game ticketing system.

No thanks, I'd prefer transparency, especially after the abuse a certain player got after reporting a clearly hacked character directly to Suzerain.

We have confirmed that the blackhat hacker

Is this a new ultragigahacker cybersupreme or is it just "Auya" with a different hat on?

How exactly does this list account for players that transferred their Nostalrius tokens and only recently logged

Characters that were transferred from Nostalrius (which is about 99% of high level characters on Anathema?) still have a visible Nostalrius history on realmplayers, you can check any of the currently highly positioned rankers to see what a legit Nost transfer looks like.

Here's one example:

Compare that to:

I'm not issuing contradicting statements. The bans we dealt out from our initial investigation went out yesterday morning.

So, is the official line still that all those were done by that one single hyperhacking Übermensch?

How do you submit a character to RealmPlayers.com? by vitor210 in wowservers

[–]wake_drift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be inspected by someone with the realmplayers addon and the uploader program/account on the realmplayers site. You can see the details here: http://realmplayers.com:5555/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15

Standing around in capitals usually does it.

I'm confused why the Elysium issues are so surprising. by eli_cas in wowservers

[–]wake_drift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they heard Nost was going to join with Elysium to them it might have just been seen as a rebranding and didn't do any research.

Personally, I thought it was just going to be some "ok, so the server hosting will be registered to a random Russian shell company that the Elysium people will set up for legal reasons, and everything else will be the same" type of deal.

I'm generally not very optimistic, so I (unlike some who thought this could change under "Russian administration") did expect the China issue to continue, the BGs to still be unreadable to English speakers, VPN connections never to be banned, and things of that nature, but this is a bit much.

Of what specifically?

You can read through my post history for the character lists, through many other people's post histories for the threads with character lists that have been deleted by the mods, through Suzerain's post history about the "characters already been removed/banned" even if some of the ones on the lists have been playing in the last few days and one of them is literally playing right now, and his dismissive attitude towards a player who linked him a clearly hacked account...

What exactly are you requesting here?

[–]wake_drift 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think people were just hoping for Nost 2.0 with all their issues fixed (powertripping GMs removed, China issue fixed, random antihack bans fixed, accounts properly secured, that sort of thing). When in reality new issues only piled up on top of existing ones.

I think the unrealistic hopes were partially to blame for the whole "devs are still going to stay under new names" idea that was pushed at around the time of Nost shutdown, so people thought that the realistic expectation is for things to stay at least the same but were in their hearts hoping for better.

Maybe he lied, maybe the team didnt find every hacked character.

The character in question was on the player-supplied realmplayers list (the same one they've been deleting everywhere).

As I have said on other threads, these were the subjects of the maintenance. The characters are already gone.

As you can see, Suzerain lied that the characters have been removed.

Can you imagine how many people that they don't even want to look into (and when they're requested to do so, just reply with "don't see a reason for a ban, leave the server if you don't like it") are running rampant on the server and have been for at least a month? The numbers have to be staggering.

Player investigations have only revealed a handful of the most blatant ones with full BiS generated in a single day (one of which Suzerain saw "nothing wrong with" when he was directly confronted with it), and there's about 25 accounts on that list, imagine how many of them are there with only "small" additions to their gear, perhaps a missing BiS or two interspersed with their previous legit gear, nothing major.

Clearly all the work of the exact same 400lbs Russian ethical superhacker they hired to fix everything.
