Important note.
(pro z8, not a QQ thread)
If you think that Z8 aren't using the money from ZP to work on the hacking situation...or even that z8 aren't using the money AT ALL...
Here's an experiment. Leave your computer on 24/7, 365 (ish) days per year. And at around 75% processing power. (ctrl alt delete to find out what your processing percentage is at the moment.)
Now ask your parents about the electricity bill.
Now, imagine a HUGE computer, a literal server. That uses even more power than your computer.
now, guess what their electricity bill is?
now, times it by...(does not know how many servers there is, but) around 10 or 15.
Now imagine, the amount of money that is regularly given to Z8 staff, from the ZP buyers and etc.
Would it seem enough? Enough to hire all those crazy things you've been asking, like a better anticheat? And that's not ALL the costs, you have paying the staff, mods, website design, forum maintainence, etc, etc. Will most of the people have some sort of idea, you really don't know what the actual scale is, and that z8 is bathed in cash and more cash.
so STOP with these conspiracy theories and the idiotic "let's get a better anti cheat" or "make the anticheat work". These things need money.
Which is why you shouldn't expect too much from a F2P.

Its a good thought,respect for that but if z8games/crossfire looses players(also the zp buying ones) because of the momentary hacker situation,they still have to do something against it.
They are, except z8 doesn't specialise in anti hack, it's a game portal. The anti hack is game guard, and HGW something. Complain on their forums. -
Because they're allready paying for xtrap....and not recieving quality service...
And computers dont consume that much power...
Servers does, they're really loads of servers in one stack. And we don't consume that much power because we only do like 5-30% of normal processing power. Servers run at 100%~ (ish) and then you have loads of other costs. I know Xtrap isn't doing a single thing, but complaining to the employers (z8) is a bit like teaching them sucking eggs. -

z8 doesent pay anything there just the portal -
I probably pay more electricity for my 50A hot tub per year that Z8/neowiz does for electricity for a single server.
How many servers do they have, and how much does maintenance (probs spelt that wrong :S) cost? And you said Probably? -

Smilegates are the developers. Most of the money still pays towards to either z8 games, otherwise where are they getting their money?I like where your point leads, i'd say all the zp buyers hack. so if there is no hacks for them, they will probably quit. i don't get these hacker's.
Where the hell did you get that point from?!?! I buy ZP, and last time i checked, i don;t hack. -

But that means that they don't have MORE money to deal with the hackers more quickly, (guess i should have mentioned this) which means that people should stop yelling lazy ass z8 and be patient. -

x Trap deals with the hack.ers z8 does not pay them for every patch they probably just pay them monthly -
I'm pretty sure they hire servers, not own them.
So they pay a yearly (monthly?) fee and not the electricity bill.
Just fyi.
yeah, but the fee also includes the electric bill, and if they hire, it's even more?
It would probably go up and down, and in my experience, fees > the actual bill. -

-.-'''
Z8Games = G4Box.
G4Box is the publishers, they are Saidin, Angel, Hpx, Alcine, etc.
No Z8games doesn't do the "forum events" because Z8Games is the name of a portal, nothing more. They ARE G4Box, in all reality They work for G4Box, not Z8Games. The only ones who "work" for Z8games is us, the MODS.
