No, not again. Not another third party site issue. We just reported today that Square Enix needed to create an FBI-esque group to investigate on the irregularities on FF XI Online. We just had that earlier and yet here we are again. This time, it's for mGame MMO, Hero Online.

Unlike the FF case, Hero's is somewhat on its infant stage. And instead of players taking advantage of the system through third party sites, it's the latter that are doing the abuse. Apparently, many players have been accessing websites that claim to have bots, hacks, exploits, gold, guides and others. As a result, these players got disconnected from the game momentarily and found their inventories empty the moment they logged back.

According to mGame's intial reports, these are actually key logger/phish sites that steal players login/pass. The company added that "restoring player's accounts after they have been hit like this takes quite a bit of time and investigation." It in this light that patience is being asked from players. Something the company is running out of, as a massive influx of complaints reached their desk.

In a rather irate tone, mGame's reply continues, "we are in the process of limiting compensation for inquiries of this nature. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!" Also, to further avoid such things in the future, mGame plans to release several GM-made guides as well as in-game systems to help players with information about Hero Online.
