When the hell did it happen? And how?

Aren't there really only bugs after patching, but they patched a while ago and it was fine...

@Spirit: This game is pretty much unhackable. o: Outspark are the only ones who can change the game. Except for what Ghostly did... Dunno how that works.

I guess this was just recently found then.

Yeah, during the past week a few people have had this problem. There's a couple threads on it on the main forums,

Does anyone know if it is just when the chat scrolls through your chat box or is it anytime you walk within a given proximity?

What I am wondering is this - if I am in guild chat and their text never appears in my chat window will I be susceptible?

Its whoever comes near them so I've heard.

I've heard that, if you block the individual, you're safe. The last time I was in Uruga when this happened, a person's rapid logging-in caused him to get the "disconnected from server" message so he didn't just poof back to the launcher. He found the guy who was doing it and screenshotted him. I dunno if it would help any, but if you can get a screenshot of the person doing it, I'd send it to a GM. If you can manage sending a whisper to the guy, you can right click his name and block him, and then you'll be fine so I've been told.

Has it only been found in Teva or has it been used on all servers?

What good does it do to crash people's clients on freshly made accounts? You'd kick that person off then log into your main to grind in an empty map? o_O But they'd come back later on anyways...

It seems to be a chat exploit, so anyone who hears their speech is affected.

Even when your in guild chat your still recieving chat dialogue for your other chat tabs.

If you block the culprit before he sends you a message than you will be fine.

As before mentioned anyone who "recieves" the dialogue from these individual(s) will have their clients crashed.

Luckily, they arent sending their messages through the shout system as they are using level 1 characters. If they could, you would never be able to move out of a town map.

Since they cant shout it, they can only affect people surrounding them.
