Hello. I heard that au.bugsgames.net was shut down due to massive hackings.
I'd like to ask an in-depth story about what happened back then.
Thanks in advance.
I quote from myself from another thread since it was asked too:
"It was rumored that the cause of Global Audition's shut down was these hackers, since they caused the delay of updates. But there was another rumor that Global Audition was only up for testing, meaning the company who hosted the game only opened it for users so they could test the game for a different server have better service towards that server they tested for, and NOT Global Audition's sake."
Here is also another set of reasons
1) The user exodus, when we heard word about the kAU, almost every know gAU player left for greener pastures. They were tired of the hacking and lack of content. This meant less users in gAU and more in kAU (which we dont know where they are so we could meet again.)
2) Admin hacks, webtest10 was used to manipulate the NPC battles. Also birdy and Kowiz's hacking started a chain series of disasters (but kudos to them for giving us cool outfits.)
3) Poor servers, the servers were laggy, and only one was usually populated. And some of them odes are exactly accurate.
well, are these exploits also possible for the remaining Audition servers?

kAU has a fairly strong gameguard and sAU doesn't really need to be hacked, since a large number of the foreign players are poor at AU [So they don't need to be beaten or anything] and Cash doesn't need to be hacked since Cash clothes are able to be bought with Den. The other AU servers aren't really populated by English players.
SEA has the same anti-hacking as kAU

Yes, really. But not all Cash items can be bought with Den. Only some. ^-^;
