Hak Auto-Ban Glitch?

[CoasterMan927]

The stork NPC, Hak, is bugged. There are actually two bugs. The first one spawns you right back where you were in the first place (i.e. If you leave Orbis for Mu Lung, you might end up right back in Orbis. See the SSes below of my experiment). The second is a big deal. You may get auto-banned for 30 days, for doing nothing.

Can't be true, right? I tried it out myself after hearing about others who got banned in similar cases. The character used is a friend's inactive mage.

OGM Spoiler!

Logging on.


First try.


In-flight.


After the first flight, it knocked me back to Orbis instead of Mu Lung. Another bug? (You can see in the chat that I did not take the stork back, nor did I relog.)


Finally in Mu Lung, going back to Orbis.


One of the last rides back to Orbis, the next ride from Orbis -> Mu Lung would be the last.


After I land in Mu Lung, I d/c. This comes up upon attempting to relog.

Proof enough? Here are some more cases:

Other People Banned:

Xiyuuna was banned, as she says, while walking back to the Orbis Station. After using Hak? See below.

This guy was banned after dropping mesos while aboard Hak, on four different characters as he says in a later post. Xiyuuna also replied to this, saying she was banned shortly after using Hak.

BlueAnus was banned for no apparent reason. How does this relate to the Hak glitch? Look in her sig. "I logged on in leafre fm, took ship, went to aqua, walked into sharks map,..." The only ship from Leafre is the bird to Orbis. To get from Aqua to Orbis effeciently, she most likely used Hak to go from Orbis -> Mu Lung, then from Mu Lung -> Herb Town, then from Herb Town -> Aqua.

VIDEO FOOTAGE:

Xiyuuna tried the bug on a mule, and frapped it for us. Here's the video, thanks Xiyuuna.

Also it could just be REALLY random and happens whenever.

Here's the clip. I dropped mesos at the end just because but I did it several times through out the longer version, I even dropped items. It's still processing.

Longer version.

You can't see the words? PM me for the log in.

I'll post more cases as I find them...*scowers around sw*

so guys... they're working on it :D

[Nighthawkspt]

Um i been using that stork guy still and no trouble here. Probably some other reason they were banned.

[SiThBoY]

Maybe they just don't know how to type...

or think "hacking" means using Haks.

I dunno, but this doesn't sound very believable.

[Incendia]

Why would you get banned for using Hak?

This sounds like a bunch of BS.

[CoasterMan927]

I'm gonna log on a mule and try it. Be back in about 10 minutes with results. I'll take some SSes too.

[Incendia]

So what? 2 people got banned.

Compared to the tons of people that use Hak every day, I doubt there's any real threat.

They might have been banned for other reasons, and it was only a coincidence that they both had used Hak.

At least Nexon was able to bring the hacking problem back under control. We can't always trust people when they say "omg i r legit".

[Spadow]

I got to try this with an old account to see if this is actually true.

Xiyuuna was banned, as she says, while walking back to the Orbis Station. After using Hak? See below.

I certainly DOUBT this is true.

[Anya]

I've been using Hak to get up and down the tower for the past few days and I'm perfectly fine thus far.

[CoasterMan927]

Just tried it out. Looks like it's real. O_O

Also, thank you Alysha for unlocking the thread.

I tried it and it didnt autoban me. I did it like this:

I went to Orbis then i talked to Hak to go to Mu Lung, once in Mu Lung i talked to Hak to send me back to Orbis and again i talked to Hak to send me to Mu Lung, but i didnt dc.

Although the 1st bug worked for me, however i did dragged the window at the right for the 1st bug.
