border=1>The multiplayer game Shadowbane was, well, “hacked” seems too strong a word, exploited the other night.

It involved more than just a guild taking Khar. This was teleporting people all over the world, teleporting hostile guards into the safe-holds, bringing in hordes of special event monster sand teleporting everyone to a city at the bottom of the sea.

This reminded one slashdot poster of the infamous event when Lord British was killed in Ultima Online (pictured). It reminded me of the time I possessed an Iron Golem in a MUD. It was supposed to be unaffected by magic, but instead the effects never wore off. Happy days.
