3/11/01: Japanese Phantasy Star Online hacked. (Peter Barrett) According to Sega Of Japan, Phantasy Star Online has been fledged with
cheating recently. So to sum up the situation they've released a statement
to tell people about the situation. According to SOJ, Japanese gamers have
found a way to hack the character VMU files, and virtually turn their
character into mean fighting machine, max items and whole load more.
Japanese servers have been shut down several times (which can now explain
why Japanese players have been flooding the US servers). Sega say:
"We do not want these hackers ruining the game for the rest of the PSO
players by 'illegally' changing character data."
This problem is far more powerful than your average Game Shark or Action
Replay cheat cartridge and Sega is busy tracking down the cheaters. |
