You’d think after having the PlayStation Network hacked wide open and losing millions of customers’ personal information, that Sony would learn their lesson. Apparently, they haven’t. In a recent expose on EQ hacking, EQ Producer Thom Terazzas told Ten Ton Hammer, “The expansion, [Veil of Alaris], is something that we’re really focused on right now. That has gotten, I would say, 80 percent of the [development] focus here. So doing anything that dramatically combats the hacking is something that we would really like to do, but it is not something we’ve been able to do.”
Knowing that the EQ team is just another cog in the Sony corporate machine, I can’t really blame the EQ team, but what is Sony thinking? They are seriously going to sit back and do nothing? Who in their right mind would even think about buying the expansion when Sony is obviously beyond clueless when it comes to dealing with hacking! This is simply beyond the pale.
If Sony isn’t willing to devote the resources necessary to combat hacking in EverQuest, then just shut it down. Please, shut it down, before we have another identity theft debacle.
