arguile Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 whats to stop some guy from finding a way to cheat and get like infinite money? that would pretty much ruin the economy and the purpose of being a crafter...im just asking cause the only mmorpg ive played is phantasy star online and in that game money was pretty worthless because people cheated to get infinite money (not that it was hard to get anyway)...so has anyone played a game where the economy remained as stable as we want swg's to be?

sheaday6 Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Ultima Online was impossible to cheat, Unless you found some really weird glitch that the programmers didn't find. Besides, I'm sure they have taken cheating into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Well, because a 'real' MMORPG keeps a strict log on things, so if anything suspicious happens, they have a lot of people being payed to check it out. Also, previous MMORPGs like EverQuest and Asherons Call dealth very strictly with anyone trying to cheat, with permanent bans all over the place. So cheating is much more rare in these games than in say, Counterstrike or Unreal Tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 also doesn't it help to have most of the information server-side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatoriaN Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 If the player goes wild buying everything then people will wonder and report it. In other games there are Ops - which i imagine SWG to have also; that run around like a normal or invisible player and watch things/people. Entire clans in other games have been banned for cheating and credit cards have been banned. So really is it worth wasting so much money on a game then cheating for a short time til your banned. Most people would agree with me - therefore a cut back in cheaters. Â This will be much better then the normal FPS is players have more to lose then a temp kick.

BobaWP Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I dont think that cheating will be a thing in SWG. Thats why they spend so much time beta testing it. Also if you do get caught cheating(just you) then you will probaly lose your account. Or if a whole bunch or people on a server start cheating then they might just fix the bug and rollback till the point before the glitch happened.

Kakar0t Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 dont worry guys cheating is 99% impossible because all info is stored server side so u cant do anything client side(hacks). so dont worry these are professional programmers witha multimillion dollar company they wont let anything slip thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
