SECURITY

dear developers:

please take the security of your game VERY seriously. even the best games become junk when hackers f*** up the integrity.

sincerely,
excited fan

They most definitely do! There was a bug a while back that allowed duping of items, it was shut down within 24 hours, and all characters that did it or were affected were rolled back. And that's from an internal problem, I can't imagine how quickly they would drop everything to take care of an external hack/bot.

rest assured,
excited player

I believe Chris did some work with software security at some point in his career so I'm willing to bet he understands and takes the security of his game very seriously.

With my short experience here, and seeing how the dev team interacts with the community, I'm very comfortable with how they handle things so far.

Basically everything in this game is server sided information, making it incredibly hard to "hack" the game.

also, they are not using "flash" for their "Secure login screen" like some other company out there, LOL. as if they didn't know flash is the most insecure platform on the freakin planet.

And GGG is very responsive:

* A recent patch introduced a 100% crit bug to some melee skills... was patched in a few hours.

* A recent patch caused the launcher to crash after updating... it was fixed within 15 mins (at 7pm on a weekday NZ time)
