This scum posted at MMORPG.COM as well and I just reported that one. This is the second time some one created a new MMORPG.COM account for this sort of harassment.
I'm not in game yet so I don't know what I'm talking about, but I see there are some sec problems with the client software.
I think the download link should link to a thin patcher that is just 1 or 2 megabytes large.
The actual client should be downloaded through patching.
If the patcher is then hidden behind the login, then only who is actually flagged as "in-game" can patch (thus download the client).
This will make these attempts useless and the staff can move on to more important work on Xsyon...
Please give us this "scums" IP :)

Currently you do only download the "patcher" which is a tiny download and then you get the majority of the 3gb+ game via the patcher.
That was quick. The thread is already down at MMORPG.COM. The poster had the same name, xsyonijji, as the person here.
If you give us the site logs for that persons I.P. I bet some of us are resourceful enough to trace it back and....well let's just say he won't be using that hard drive anymore B)
Err...
If it's a big deal at all it's because they'll have an outdated patcher in the future.
It's not like anyone can log in just because they have the client, the devs had already made that clear.
It's not a huge deal, it's just a waste of time for those that download it, especially if they intend to actually play, an it's a waste of bandwidth.
Players still need to log in to play the game.
Yeah but unless i'm mistaken the reason they wouldn't want this is because it slows down the downloads for everyone that can get in. Flooding the downloader with 1,000's of requests will slow it to a trickle and for what? You're right they still can't log in. Then the people that can log in have to wait forever for the download thus slowing down the beta testing process. Hassle...
Jooky, Hide the client behind a login please. It can still be open download when you want it to be, just make people register first. They will have to register at least a login name to sign in no matter what.
At least give yourself the option to control access.
Maybe a solution would be to give each individual a kind of serialezed link specific to that user, so if they leaked it you could deny their access to the game and send "employees" to their place of residence for re-education.
eh? eh? ;)
Yeah ok well maybe not the re education part but at least break some bones.
OH and youtube it!

Actually, it would be easy to use the querystring, e.g.:
http://www.imaginary.url/xsyon_client.zip?id=8473284923
But... to be honest, we all already know who did this :)
The problem is to keep out people who can't get in because they are not registered "citizens" and waste their time, bandwidth, and legitimate downloaders time...
Threatening to break some guys legs or hack into his hard drive because he posted a link to download the game client is a tad overreacting :laugh:
It's not as if anyone who downloaded that client will have access to the game anyway, so who gives a shit?

I don't believe any threats were ment, more of a joke than anything..
What did matter though, is the client is also connected to the websites server.. When it was being mass downloaded the website was slow as dirt. All clear now :)
