Then he went and threatened to release the private information of 1,000 of his fellow gamers every day. The poster wants less censorship on the forums, improved treatment of Frogster’s employees, better treatment of the customers (ironically) with more respect, and a better control over the game’s “cheating.” For a passionate fan of the game, his demands are almost noble. Posting under the name Augustus87, the demands were quickly pulled off the forums, but not before copies were made, and a screen shot was sent to Kotaku.Īt first glance the demands are fairly selfless. In mid-January, a hacker posted on the Runes of Magic forum that he had hacked the servers for the MMO, and was prepared to release the personal information, including e-mail addresses and payment information of fellow gamers, unless his or her demands were met. You love the community and the majority of the employees working for the company responsible for the game, so how do you spur the change you desire, to make the game a better experience for everyone? How about hack the personal information of your fellow players, and threaten the publishers with the mass release of people’s private information unless they meet your demands? Such is the situation facing Frogster, the German publisher responsible for the free-to-play MMORPG, Runes of Magic. So say you love a game passionately, but you see a few flaws that you feel could be corrected with a reasonable amount of effort.
