Shadowbane hacked

One of the things that online role-playing games can teach us is theology: If there were a god, what would the world be like? I heard glimmers of this, probably from Alec, but Rebecca's Pocket had a link to a Wired article about the hacking of Shadowbane back in May:

The population of an entire Shadowbane town was forcibly moved to the bottom of the sea, where they drowned. City guards turned feral and attacked town residents. Mobs of never-before-seen superpowerful creatures, seemingly spontaneously spawned from the ether, began to prowl the streets unchecked, killing characters in the most painful way possible.

That takes a LOT of knowledge of the system.. and the article made it sound like everyone had fun after it was all over. - Smells of a publicity stunt.
