A lot of my friend play or have played Maplestory. This is a 2D MMORPG with real kiddy looks. It looks like this:

I know, it is real kiddy. The game isn't too bad but the game has one huge problem. Hackers.

From everyone I know that play the game only 2 are legit. None hacking.

The rest hacks or has hacked. The game does a lot to get rid of the hackers but cannot succeed. If hackers are banned they just make new accounts and start all over again.

Hackers think it is fun to do this but I do not see the point in it. Turn on the computer, start the hack and do something else. I know it isn't that easy, but this is basicly what hackers do

The thing is, the game is free. You can buy special extra's like pets and clothing. Who buys these extra's? Exactly, Hackers. So if they just ban the lot, they won't have no cash anymore and the game would have to stop. This is only an example of a game with serious hacking problems. I know there are more of those and I just want to say:

WELL DONE HACKERS!!!

If you wan't to hack yourself just search in google or download Cheatengine.

We make games. So we have to prevent hackers from hacking our games. This can only be done if you know what hakcers do, so that is a good reason to try it yourself. In the game I am about to submit I have tried to include some antihack things. I'll give the game to one of the hackers in my class and let him hack it. See what happens…

Notice: I'm going away for sailing contests this evening and after that I am going to France for school. So I'll be away for 2 weeks. The game I'm making is delayed again. [:-(]
