The WarZ hack recently was an unfortunate thing but user details weren’t compromised according to OP Productions, the publisher of the game. The same thing happened with the PSN hack but that was a massive attack which Sony successfully dodged but there were no reports of compromised credit card details.

“We did not find definitive evidence that our game account database was accessed. They were able to ban up to several dozens of players randomly,” the publisher’s statement read (via Eurogamer)

“We disabled the hacked accounts, identified the wrongly banned players and reversed those bans within hours of the attack. We are continuing to invest significant resources to make our system even more secure.

“We all know that the online world is never 100 per cent secure against aggressive and sophisticated hackers. This experience has been a humbling one for your War Z Team. We have recommitted ourselves to providing a secure and enjoyable game for our players. We will keep working to improve our game and our security in keeping with that commitment. We are sincerely sorry that this incident occurred and greatly appreciate the loyalty of our players.”

This is good news for people who were worried about their details being compromised, since it doesn’t look like it was.

Hammerpoint Interactive, the developer behind The WarZ, has thought of locking up cheaters in a separate server or jailed server.

“If you’ve been banned from the game, you won’t be able anymore to create or join clans, participate in leaderboards, or play the game with the general population, but you’ll be able to play among other banned players on special set of jail servers. Since you’ve already been banned from the game, you can keep using all of your cheats there, but you may expect that all other players are using them too,” the post on the MMO’s forums read.

They also state that the cost of all these servers won’t be much and they may be able to find out latest cheats and ways to counter them.

“We’re talking about one or two physical servers. Cost of hosting those are much lower than having completely separate dedicated game setup and servers and paying thousands of dollars to testers to play against each other using cheats on dedicated servers to be able to perform anticheat development and testing. So doing this will free uo resources for an actual game development.

Anyone who even glances at the name of the recently released atrocity, The WarZ will see what sort of audience it is going after- the audience that would play DayZ, the praised zombie shooter. Not only does The WarZ shamelessly copy DayZ’s title itslelf, it’s got glaring similarities in other aspects as well.

And DayZ creator Dean Hall is not happy about it. He says he is “very angry about The WarZ”.

“I am angry about the WarZ. I’m very angry,” Hall said on Reddit.

“I’m quite hurt personally because anyone can see how similar the words are, and while the average gamer knows the difference individual people don’t,” he said. ” I’ve had family members/close friends mistake the difference and confront me about what they believed was unethical behavior they thought I was making.”

“I really don’t think anyone can understand just quite how exasperated that can make you feel when you’ve gambled everything on something, put your whole self and reputation on the line,” he went on. “So it hasn’t made my life very pleasant and I disagree entirely with the conduct and how consumers have been treated.”

The WarZ was recently released, and not only was it victim to a lot of controversy, it was also very badly received by critics all around.
