A new comment from Shadowbane team about the "hacking" incident that happened recently.

There were some incidents in Shadowbane last night that disrupted the game play for a number of players on a few servers. Our preliminary findings indicate that the disruptive actions of a few players were the result of a hacking of the game. This hacking resulted in users having the ability to teleport around the world and summon other players.

In respect to the hacking, the Shadowbane team responded immediately and successfully across the entire service. Although several players fell victim, we prevented further exploitation by shutting down the servers and by immediately identifying and removing the source of the exploits. All effected servers have received roll-backs prior to these incidents occurring in order restore the game to its previous state.

We apologize for the disruption this caused and we will continue to work to prevent such incidents in the future.

Please be advised that violations of the Shadowbane terms of use, or the Shadowbane end user license agreement, will be enforced to their full extent by Ubi Soft and Wolfpack Studios.
