SRO: Popular Facts and Myths?

[inky]

Since we all know that Joymax isn't exactly doing a good job protecting their users' accounts, players in the game would often believe anything people tell them in order to protect their accounts from being hacked. However, although it seems like a good idea, some of these things turn out to be nothing more than myths. Some examples of undisclosed (officially) rumors would be the "Blocking Hack," "Critical Hack," "Trading Hack," "Invisible/Stealth Detect Hack," and "Share Party Hack." There are also a couple of alchemy-related rumors being spread throughout the community. With that being said, I think it would be a good idea to settle this matter and separate the facts and the myths of SRO.

Instructions:

a. Post the issue/topic
b. Choose if it's a fact or a myth
c. Explain why

Please keep it civilized. Thank You

well i know stealth/ detect hack is true, with a 90% certainty, i know some people would know for sure who have used/seen it, but i've seen the receiving end of those cheating looser, no skills, no pills, no attacking before i stealthed, multiple times and by only a few people

edit this hack makes sense because its client side, because your computer would receive the fact there is a invisible person and change your model to a blank model, but i heard the hack changes you to a beserked appearance to the people who can see you, which since the ability to target you would be client side simply because the invisible / stealth just changes your model, and the hack makes you show as a model that can be targeted

other hack so called hacks like you said i don't think would work because i think they are server side (aka the critical hack)

Maybe. But I'm still betting that it's not likely or at least rare since I've seen them in other MMORPGs. I even tested some of them like the 'PK hack' and 'instant kill hack' on other games like ROSE Online and pRagnarok Online. It's a difficult task but the question is: do they exist in SRO?

[foudre]

i have yet to see instant kill hacks, the closest thing is a bug with pain quota and either physical or magic fence, that will insta kill the party if enough people get aoed by one attack

[iGod]

That invisible thing doesnt have to be a hack, it can be easily done in .pk2

[chesticles]

I think this is the biggest myth out there:

>>> JoyMax actually cares <<<

Do I really need to post the proof xD

[Rush4Life]

some dude I banned from the guild because I busted him botting, said that with agbot, invisible people are turned into zerk.

so pk2 editting isn't the only way

[iGod]

The only somewhat 'legit' way lol.

+13 is a green glow
Dont know if that is real or myth.
IMO the blue glow is the highest

why you call it a hack? when its a simple pk2 edit

myths:
- death2all build is pure str nuker!
don't need any explanation.

pk2 editing = client side hack

[borat2]

pk2 editing = client side hack

a modification and a hack are 2 total different things.

myth: +9 is easy

different definitions, i consider any modifications hacking, mods are just hacking light, or diet hacks

Yeah, I agree with you.

Hack has several meanings in the technology and computer science fields: a clever or quick fix to a computer program problem; a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem; or a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features that were otherwise unavailable to them.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of "hack". It's not just "breaking into someone's computer" as the term is used today.

A hack is... a clever or quick fix to a computer program problem; a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem; or a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features that were otherwise unavailable to them. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_%28technology%29)

.pk2 editing is a hack by definition. So technically if you pk2 edit, you are hacking.

there used to be a way to get yourself GM status and commands by injecting ........

but they patched all that during beta, it was fun getting dc'd by roc over and over and over and over and over. then getting killed by killer mangyangs at hotan over and over and over and over.

the stealth thing that's been popping up recently
oh, I remember they had to do a rollback because a group of guys spawned themselves gold on one of the servers, or at least that's what they said.

There's also a big rumor that the next ban will ban botters other than gold bots

.... yea ok

[Venomic]

Myth: Joymax will ban silk buying player bots.

[Rush4Life]

[VforVendetta]

Myth: There are active GM's in Silkroad
