Weekly Maintence check?
How about a weekly maintence check. Like Sudden Attack. I mean people are like "ohh but were not Sudden attack/Combat Arms/COD/AVA". I know we aren't, but it would be a really really good idea. Like if you have a maintence check every week hackers wouldn't code so fast it would take a few days. By the time it gets sorta on the high. Another maintence check will go on. It will go on every wednsdays? or Sunday nights at 3AM EST is a good time. Mid Night for WEST. It's a good time. The game is quiet. So nothing new just a check.
Technically you can't say -1. Then you would be agreeing to keep hackers. So +1. Can't say I'm talking about hackers. I'm just saying get maintence checks.

Not to be rude but obviously im going to be upset if I spent my free time working to get Z8 money and they dont step up their security as much as other games. =/ I know it's not free and of course it's trying to be stopped but compared to other games I have played, its weak in the security system. Obviously the revenue won't match World of Warcraft with their security system but I have played games with people paying less and recieving more security. I don't have anything against the employees though. They do what they're told from Z8.

Duhh that cost money but that is logical
He just means.... z8games doesn't like to pay for something that can be fixed in a couple of weeks later when the HAVE TO spend money to patch stuff and let people work!!!
I call it a cheap ass company, and you say z8games can't just throw money at every problem that comes
But than I say... this problem is every month and a half.....
with z8games... I mean everybody that works behind it g4box the dev some where in a little cage in korea.china or whatever the are from and some other people that work behind behind z8games and all those peeps!!!!
P.s I wrote this in a sarcastic mood so don't take it to serious -

sudden attack can do it.. I've seen there servers. Horrible. not even close to Crossfire. Yet they can afford it. Sheesh this cannot be your real job.. to tell you the truth giggletron. This isn't a supportable job. Maybe pays a few hundred, but I mean you'll get more happy customers. This is what I heard from my parents.
"What you put into it. Is what you get out of it."
Put in a good amount of money to the game. Take a pay cut for a month maybe. Then people will come. The game will sound great. I mean your losing customers. By the time you think of this idea it will be way to late. Everybody will be gone. So put a little more money into it. Do you expect us to give you our money to play a game full of hackers? Obviously not. If it's very success full which I'm pretty sure people will start buying ZP again. Your salary could go up! or paycheck. Look.
This idea..
Pros: More customers, More ZP bought, Less hacking reports, and it makes the game have a better look, and more money to the company.
Cons: Spend a little money/Time.
Ratio = 5/2. Well worth it.
Yea sure. you might have to cut somethings, and blah blah, but just do it. I mean your being stingy here. I get you have your other expenses as X-Trap/Employees etc. You guys really want a break from so many hackers? then do it. Look put in a few hundred bucks you'll get more out of it trust me. Less reports of hackers. I have no doubt about it. It's a long shot, but it's a good one. It's an investment which will more likely to succeed. -

of course nothing in life is free, but do you think people want to spend money to get cheated? The cost of doing business sometimes requires changing to a new business model. I have worked on a weekly security release team myself, So I am well aware of the process and it's requirements/costs and benefits.
I doubt however Z8 has the ability to change to a weekly release schedule. They don't control the game engine so it's not like they could develop a weekly release. Although that doesn't mean there is no merit to the idea. The idea is actually a very good one and is common in the security industry. Think about how often an anti virus has to be updated.
The point being it may be the only way to kill the cycle. Make it harder to keep a hack working. How many players do you think are going to continue to pay for a hack if it stops working in a few days? -

+1 good way to reduce cheater to zero ... but it's still not server maintenance ... it's weekly cf.exe patcher *..*
P.S it will not be a problem of x-trap ... bypassed or not ... coders must create injection-dll weekly. for few days.
by the time they patch it again. The hacks will be sorta up, but not completely.
