    As it comes from Linus, I'm sure everything is going to be okay.

    Hello Knights and Knightettes. These are the current known issues for Knight Online, and what's being done in each case.

    Drop rate of Crystals, Opals, and Crude Sapphires
    This is on track to be fixed as soon as possible. Details on the change will be forthcoming as we get closer to the patch.

    Bifrost bug abuse
    Certain entrepreneurial individuals are able to bypass all of Bifrost and go straight to killing Ultima. As this is upsetting the markets on many servers, it's something we're taking very seriously. Everyone caught doing this is being banned, but we're also exploring more immediate measures.

    X-trap trojan false positives
    X-trap is being reported as a trojan by some anti-virus programs. This is what's known as a "false positive," because X-trap is not a trojan. Currently the only workaround for affected users is to disable that anti-virus program before running the game. This will hopefully no longer be an issue after the next X-trap update.

    Speedhackers
    Speedhacking is a symptom of a larger problem, and I'm happy to report that this very problem is being solved by Mgame as we speak. A very comprehensive fix, it has been in the works for some months now and is nearing completion.

    Gold farmers
    We have a number of new systems being rolled out that should make Knight Online a lot lighter on the gold farming. We can't discuss specifics, but this is something we know about and are constantly looking at ways to eliminate it.

    Catapult bug
    This is on track to be fixed in the same patch that will do away with speedhacking.

    Various low-level quest bugs
    A number of low-level quests are not working properly. The exact details have been communicated to Mgame and a patch is in the works.

    Candy still dropping
    White Day candies won't seem to go away. This is a very tenacious bug. It will hopefully be gone after next maintenance.[/b]
    I think the best positive thing will be the speedhack problem. I'm sure they will make tbl files clientside and fuk up the hackers :P


    Let's hope for a good future as we see that many good players are leaving or left already!

    To be honest I don't see anything new here? and I won't believe it till I see it...

    That has to mean tbl edit.

    It could wipe out a lot of hacks.

    But will server siding more stuff cause too much lag?

    well maybe the first week but if too much lag will go on they have to fix it because it has nothing to do with mgames then.

    While I agree Linus is a good Liason, One of the best we had for along time now I have to agree with SuperGhost - I've been playing this game for nearly...4 or 5 year's now And I have YET to see a solution solved from k2 that benefited anyone but themselves - Their bug fixes in the past as Included Root kits that spy on you when you are running their game, False banning of accounts, Wiping all items from Forgotten Temple even though alot was gained legitly - and Banning people on their forum when they post about certain things they dont want anyone to find out about.

    All the while, k2 had gotten away for the last 4-5 years that they DON'T have enough gm's, When I see peoples accounts sometimes I can see people spending 1-3k in cash just on Prem / KC Not to mention the fucking items they bought from other people.

    Wouldn't a possible compromise be to check a hash-value of the table-files as well as their size whenever the client launches? As far as I understand it, it's not possible to edit TBL's under runtime.

    Don't think hack code runs the knightonline.exe.
    They just need to find out one chksum and send it.

    A more complex system is to send the encryption forumlae. And incorparate the user ID within encryption. So the value of chksum changes per user and per patch(or more frequently). Thats what I would do total control smallest data packets.
