** Now that there is no GameGuard **

I wrote this last week for a different intended audience, but now that GameGuard is currently disabled (yes it IS disabled), it applies to EVERYONE playing SRO.

Silkroad Awareness Thread - No GameGuard -> Read This!

If you are really worried about losing your account due to this in the mean time, don't play SRO again until they re-add GameGuard. If you do play you are putting your account at risk, unfortunately. It has always been this way when GG was not enabled, but the intended point is to raise awareness.

Just sharing this here because I know a lot of people have invested too much into their accounts just to have it taken away because of a stupid flaw in the [currently unprotected] game. If anyone has any questions or comments on it I'm around.

1st of all, u are a very good programmer, dude.
2nd, u dont need to warn ppl. If they want to bypass GG, they have to accept the risk that none is protecting their privacy. Bypass GG is already against the law of the game, and the account should be banned. They have no right to claim being hacked.

That's the point of this thread though Silo, everyone playing SRO right now, legit or not has GameGuard "bypassed" because JoyMax took it out. I don't know how long it will take before they re-add it, to which this thread is useless and your #2 is absolutely correct, but people always are anxious to get back on and grind after inspections. Since JMs response time is all but "speedy", everyone is vulnerable for the next however many hours if not days

I know nothing about these things, so thanks for sharing. I rather be cautious and wait a few hours to know the situation, then risk it all for an hour or so of gameplay right now. Weird they haven't posted about gameguard being down at the main site.

Too many loosers out there who are covered in glue and grab things that don't belong to them.

I believe all those who flame around on the forums should be terminated. No matter HOW popular they may seem to be.

no need to take the argument this far

the topic is too important to end up in a flame war and get locked

Agreed.

Sorry Demarthl if I have overly offended you in my responses.

In the best interests of everyone and this thread I'll fix all of my posts accordingly to reflect better which perhaps I should have done in the first place. Sorry for the inconveniences.

likewise.

you're actually the first person to actually swallow pride, apologise and edit stuff, including myself.

kudos

o.O Scary time no GameGuard .And this Image Code Verification hmmm is first time i see on any games. Oh well Is working anyway..

From hat i have read, GameGuard sucks anyway.

Whatever, it doesnt matter much if you arent botting, or sdoing something illegal anyway.

My question is though. Why is JM storing unencrypted password at the same spot in memory ever time you log into the game? Absolutely retarded.
