UPDATE : ‘Episode 6: EMERGENCY CODE: ATTACKED!’ has just been published. Not 24 hours removed from the hack last night, we’ve put out a special report edition of EXP FULL focused on the Ship 2 hack. We reached out to the hackers after witnessing it all kick off in real-time, then posting our article on our site… and not only did we receive the statement we asked for, but also got some answers to a few questions. __________________________ As the EXP FULL team were finish up a game session, something didn’t feel quite right in SHIP 2 / B21. Koffee, the main NPC for the game’s client orders was moved, along with two others, to above the mission gate. Users ‘Sziadan’ and ‘Zapero’ have claimed responsibility for the hack, which stops players from starting missions and playing the game as it was intended. According to the duo, the method has been around since the games Closed Beta, and this was a white-hat stunt to expose the exploit to SEGA of Japan. Direct quotes from the in-game lobby: “they didn’t care when we moved people, now they have to care” - Zapero “we’ve been at it since closed beta, sega haven’t done anything to stop it yet” - Sziadan English speaking players are at this stage expecting a rollback of the game, and there is a general worry that this will lead to an IP ban for non-Japanese users. EXP FULL will be putting out a special edition of the podcast this Sunday night to detail the experience of seeing this all unfold live, and will feature as always questions from listeners. UPDATE: We’ve reached out to Sziadan (above) for a statement,and have published a special episode focused on the events of last night. Phew! Turned ‘round in less than a day!

It’s here!

We’re pleased to say that it looks like all went smoothly with the launch of PSO2 this morning…
We made it onto SHIP 2 and are good to go!

Do say hello if you bump into us on Blocks 20-23, and if you fancy helping us lvl, that’s good too!
We’re really excited to play with listeners and get feedback on the show as we play.

Also, just wanted to say a massive thanks to Bumped.org - Without you and your awesome guides, we’d not be enjoying this fantastic game nearly as much…

Don’t know about Bumped.org? Check them out!

Q:The English Patch, I know you guys have talked about it but it is kinda important since their has been no word on the game being in English. Why is it such a bad thing to use The English Patch? I've heard all the "you can get banned" crap about it, but with no word of the game coming to us. It's just unfair, all the patch does is gives us a way to play their game. Is that so bad?

For us, we’re just not going anywhere near that patch on anything other than the character creator. Why? Because they’ve told us not to dick with the files. 

I do feel like we’re missing out on large areas of the game (I’ve no idea how buying and selling is going to work effectively if i can’t even type names of weapons), but getting banned is worse, and I’m not sure if SEGA will care on a case by case basis. If GameGuard flags you’re account as breaking the rules, from an admin point of view, it’s easier to just hit the ban button.

Q:(Part one) Do any of you have a Facebook? Never cared for Twitter much. What are your thoughts on the slight hacking that happened in The Closed Beta? Bound to happen, what matters I think is how not to let it happen again. I'm looking at you SEGA.

Thanks for these questions!

Facebook? Nah - We’re not on Facebook. Might be in the future though, we just don’t think the timeline really works for things like this.

We didn’t hear too much about the hacking that went on in Closed Beta. Whoever did it was pretty dumb to do it and get caught, as SEGA must now be on it and have patched the hole.  Maybe the point was to expose it in beta to make SEGA fix it?

Hacks will happen, and rollbacks will follow. It’s all server-side, and it’s backed up, so apart from loosing a few hours here and there over the years, I think we’ll be OK!
