Looked like his ISP. There are MANY times that lag in this game looks more like speed hacking or some other exploit. I too, am crazy pissed at any hackers that we see and report every single one to a GM. However, I never assume that a single instance of something like this is an exploit.



There was no lag issue as he attempted to cover for this by saying "wow thank god for server lines! =)" instaneously after one of our members sent him a tell to explain his disappearance. The problem is, they were nowhere near a server line at that point. If it was lag, I'd have expected to say so rather than blame it on server lines.

It's possible to lag, but even then one doesn't disappear completely off the local grid. One of our guys plays from South Africa and often lags. It's a persistent thing that causes a "stuttering" which is noticeable and differentiable. He wasn't lagging before the engagement, nor during most of the engagement. Our guys had encircled him. I find it hard to believe he completely disappeared from an area that had minimal cover and endless LoS.


To those that ask for screenshots and fraps, please see what it is that you're asking. It's one thing to fraps a speedhacker because he's actively using it, its a totally different thing to "fraps" a teleporter. After all, once he's gone he's gone.

However, I'm not here to conduct a witchhunt. We rarely accuse anyone of such an offense because its to be taken seriously. Reporting to AV is often fruitless as we've sent in videos of speed hackers with the same player taunting us each time. Out of the 4 speed hackers we've caught on fraps, only 2 were banned and only because they committed the offense again. AV will not ban you for a previous offense even if its recorded. You guys police yourselves as all respectable guilds do so I'll leave it in the hands of Derid.

Anyhow, good luck to you guys and congrats on capturing BKB's city.
