The Great Hacker War/Side-Story

Continued from "Overtaken - Hackers within a Midst.."
From an estimate made by a trusted third party, in the time between each patch there are about ten public hacks made available to the public. That same party also estimates that if you add up all of the members on all of the hacking sites, you`ll find they total about 3.5 million in number, though this includes one person subscribing to multiple sites. Since about January 1, 2010 there has been an uprising of sites offering "Trial VIP Hacks." This allows the user to use a restricted version of a site`s VIP hack for 1–3 days. These "trial hackers" typically exploit cut-down versions of OPK or Teleport Kill as well as aimbot. The catch about the hacks is that they have a built in spammer, locked on, that blatantly states the user is hacking and the name of the website the hack came from. Nexon has made a great effort to stop these free VIP hacks, but the spammers work just as intended, creating a vicious cycle of hooking and drawing in more and more people to download the hacks. As a result, more people are quitting the game and going to better games or turning to hacking themselves once again.

Disarray, Chaos, and Sacrifice - CA's future in Peril?
Combat Arms is now a constant battlefield; With the new UI, HUD, and devastating weapons, hackers have all the opportunity to corrupt the community's game play. Other players are losing their faith; others could not seem to trust anyone anymore. Steadfast players have taken refuge within the halls of the NF Battlegrounds; from there, they could at least devise new plans and question Nexon's ethics. They have formed Allied clans such as the Dark Templar to show that there are truly professional players out there. Other sites, like the CBL, have constantly worked in unison with other communities to ensure that there is at least ONE safe haven for the dedicated players of Combat Arms. But trouble began to increase. The hackers continued their campaign and gradually took more ground and began to crush and take over areas the legits are camping in. Despite the overwhelming complaints and tickets about hacking, Nexon couldn't do anything but watch...

The only refuge legit players can find is within Clearance Level 3 Servers (with the exception of the Black Market). Most of the Level 1 and some of the Level 2 Channels have been flooded with hackers, but it is only with the efforts of the soldiers fighting on the front lines against the hackers that the CL3 has remained a haven for legit players. Most hackers get banned before reaching CL3 because of these soldiers' brave struggle and reports. It is imperative that they do not falter, as one hacker in the CL3 will cause massive mayhem. Although there are some rumors of hackers in CL3 servers ,mainly foxtrot because hackers lower their KDR to cause mayhem there, except Kilo appears to be clean. Keep up the reports and Godspeed...
