Quote:Was this the hostile anywhere hack, or a drop hack, or both?
I've been playing a little more activley in the last few days, and I've seen several similiar things happen. No idea if it is new, but there apparently is a sorc drop hack out right now(if not more than one).
I saw the same person do it in more than one game, in a row. She killed 4 people(total) in 2 different games I was in. Both times, the people she killed dropped. I never actually traveled with her though, unlike the others. Heh, I even warned them that she was a PK.
I've also seen alot of people using "Chicken" or "Chicken Hack" lately. Basically it's a preset macro that makes a portal and goes to town instantly whenever someone hostiles you. I've seen a few people saved by it. Probably a good way to avoid being killed, but it won't help vs drophacks...
EDIT: BTW, the drop hack is used in conjunction with hydras: drop the person, make hydras and go to town. Usually has plenty of time for hydras to kill before the person drops. So, no matter how far from town you are, a sorc can still kill you before you timeout(no hostile anywhere hack needed).
