Well, Hello Everyone for Pirates Forums. As Del as said the carribean seems to be running wild with some hackers who think everything is theirs. Recently in the past few days, a few officers of mine were targeted, I wont name names, but I do have a screenshot of one of the officers being held captive by the hacker who calls himself, " Captain Leon". The reason I put " " around his name is because this hacker likes to seek fame and announce his name everytime he gets hold of a stolen pirate. If its him, you will know it. This is happened to a few of my officers like I said, but I only witnessed one for myself. He came on announced his name and started ranting and yelling in guild chat. So we booted the captive pirate and we figured the bottom line is we needed to wait until the pirate was deleted by the hacker and then work on getting it back. About an hour after the initial hack, I held a officer meeting. It turns out, he used another hacked Officer to get to our officer meeting. He showed up on the hacked pirate and insulted Me and all of the other members and then proceeded to delete all of the pirates items in front of us. One by one we left and I later heard word both of the hacked pirates were sitting on abassa showing off the pirates. Then later that night, the pirate was gone. This is causing major fear in the minds of many pirates. It killed me to see a fellow pirate work for years to get to that point and just get it all striped away in a matter of minutes. This needs to stop. In this case, its hard to stop a rogue, independent player who just hacks others. He doesnt need a pirate to hack players, but if continue to play as if the game wasnt filled with these hackers, the game would be a better then living in fear. The only thing I can try and press to everyone is to just be careful and friend who you know and whe crowds you hang around. It can happen to anyone, but if you just keeps your wits about you, im 99% percent sure youll play freely. Now, I took several screenshots, but I seem to not find them. My PC kept freezing, but ill keep looking for them and hope they saved. I believe other players have more. But this is a screenshot of the hacker on the pirate after insulting us all and deleting the pirates belongings.
