Mandale salu2 a gameforce
You already had problems in the past, you are having a big problem now, and after reading your “ apologies “ I realize that you just repeat the same words again and again saying nothing at all ; even more you didn’t said sorry to your players, but let me summarize .The only thing that you said was that you used that anticheat system in a couple of players that use ilegal programs and for that reason you have screenshots of their desktop, let me remember you that doing such kind of things is illegal ( even when was just in a couple of players) , there are laws that protect the privacy of all players, even though ,if your programmers are good enough they just can detect that suspicious activity and banned them , that is more than enough or some good anticheat without spy. I would like to remind you to that is not Noswings fault the mistakes that you have made or any other server . The bad procedures in a server are just fault of its team. Let me remark that you started your apologies with “ we are going to try to explain in simple what is happening “ , if you are really sorry for your behavior you should have start saying “ sorry”, what you just did was victimized yourself using the argument of bad people that want to damage your name, by the way after one hour of saying a word you are now learning to say sorry for spy people. and no one can know for sure if there is only 30 or less. even like that its still illegal and unprofessional.

Hello EPVP community.
We will try to explain in a correct and brief way what is happening due current riots happened around here.
Yes. We have systems in place to fight illegal programs, which allow us to block any rogue applications or any attempt to modify any process in the game to take advantage of it. In addition, this system took screenshots for a few seconds before the automatic ban occurred, to make checks manually, but **only in strictly necessary cases where an automatic ban occurs, and only while the game remained open**.
No. We do not store these captures to steal your personal data such as passwords, conversations, etc. We use this method where we take screenshots so that we can compare it to a list of cheat apps and have Eastmile free of cheats.
The total number of accounts affected by this has been less than 30, many of them owned by the same owner, so the percentage of affected players has been infimum, given that there are a total of almost 17,000 accounts, around 3,000 total active accounts (with activity on the last month), and only less than 30 of them have been affected, and all of them from an automatic ban for the use of illegal programs that modify the Eastmile client.
We do not like to allow players cheating in our game where others take their time and effort to support and donate on the server, in addition to players who decide to stay in Eastmile creating the community that we have achieved over all these years, we all know that there have been moments better and worse, but we have always moved on, and it is precisely because we really care about our community and that we can continue to move forward together.
If you are a player like any other, you should not have any concern, since the only objective of this system (Anti-cheat) has been to be able to have, as we said above, a space free of cheats since the privacy of any normal user has never been compromised at Eastmile with this system. We give our word that only users who have tried to break or take advantage of something in the game, their privacy has been compromised ONLY for the aforementioned functionality to be able to block them from our game as indicated by the Game Rules and maintain a fair game from cheating.
Since we understand that this functionality may concern some users although they would only be affected if they use illegal programs within the game, we have permanently deactivated this system permanently, as well as eliminated all content from the compromised FTP server.
We also understand that suddenly finding out about this from third parties without any type of context has put you on alarm, but that system was used very rarely for very special cases, and all the players who are in Eastmile every day can confirm that you have not had absolutely no problems with this issue and your privacy has not been compromised, so you can rest assured.
We would appreciate your understanding that we are not trying to steal your files, record your screen, steal bank details, steal passwords, view conversations, etc. or do anything that could harm you. Your safety is paramount to us, as well as appreciating your efforts within the game in which we take care to prohibit players who illegally use cheats to take advantage. This is a small project and we have tried with this system to ensure playability for all users. We are just trying to keep this game going against a group that is (still) doing their best to destroy it.
In addition, the people who have had access to the storage of these screenshots have done so illegally, hacking our client to get the encrypted private credentials of the FTP server to which only Salu had access. Part of the NosWings team has used this as a marketing strategy to harm their current biggest competition on the eve of the opening of their server, a rather dirty strategy on their part, even probably knowing that we have never done or would do anything that would harm our users, they have decided to give the dirtiest image possible of this situation.
Having said this, we sincerely thank the players who continue to support the server and make it a great community, compared to the small group of users who have recently entered the community Discord channels only to create discomfort, create hoaxes and sow chaos. thinking that they can act without impunity, taking advantage of the situation to discredit our work and step on the trust that the players and the team have mutually placed in Eastmile.

Well, this happened just some hours after a discussion I had with Blowa today, on which Blowa was pretty angry and upset with me because we use same clock style that is on his client on Eastmile client. What a coincidence. And even if this would really have been a coincidence (it wasn't), NosWings team approached of this to give the worst image of Eastmile they could, obviously to take profit of this for his server, that's undeniable.Quote:
So you are:
- Taking screenshots from users desktop and store them without consent
- Storing sensitive data to get access to these screenshots directly into client (one of the biggest BEGINNER mistake :notsureif:)
And then you come here, make a post full of bullshit, trying to put the blame on other peoples and servers because they have hacked and shared what's happening with your "anti cheat".
Just be happy it was morsisko and not some random guy with real bad intent, it could have been much more serious.
So you still blame Blowa instead of just accept that it was only your Fault? Damn boi. :feelsbadman:Quote:

Yes, I came because you literally copied our clock widget design, but it seems like it's normal for you to copy other's work (many OpenNos features that you copied and did not retro engineer by yourself of course, not mentioning the crap code that was involved)Quote:

Im just saying facts, I dont cry, just criticize on the same way you do, you and your team/followers spammed with intention to damage our image with this situation, we did a mistake, we fixed it, we admited it was bad, but your's promotion strategies trying to break competence servers like this are sick.Quote:

Blaming us for your mistake, what a joke, you are just an amateur and you did not even think about what you were doing, seriously, taking screenshots of people's desktop without their consent and letting such a big security hole that permitted several people (morsisko, Darkyz, elendan and probably some more) to get on your FTP
After morsisko's message, we decided with Elendan to warn our users about such ethically disgusting practices that you had on your server, you thought about your wallet more than your user's privacy and security.
Yes, warning our users that we do care for their security is a need, we could have acted like amateurs and ignore that but we decided to be professional and talk about it to share our opinion with our community.
Accept it or not, we prefer to assume what we do through transparency rather than crying and blaming others for our own mistake.
At least he doesn't steal user data and the work of other servers (without at least adding credits and you're upset that he wrote to you about it(like wtf is your mentality)). and in the end he doesn't throw his own mistakes on other servers (like you). And then you still expect them not to warn their own players to be careful about what you do?Quote:

You try to make yourself look like a flawless jewel, but you are so disrespectful and ethicaless with this kind of behaviors, laughing of everybody is not "professional" enough for you on your public Discord server, but at the same time you're being the same unprofessional discussing like a kid with a secondary Discord account, hidding your real face, and crying for me using the same clock design you use for your client, crying because I dont give credits for using OnexExplorer, crying because I said I used some code parts of your public sources in the past. And sharing our private conversation with everyone just for fun. You are not better than the kids you criticize.
It still interesting that, despite being absolutely wrong, you can continue to criticize other people for things that have nothing to do with the main argument.Quote:

You create retarded lies and excuses to try to cover you stealing player’s information.Quote:
Although the people affected by this have been VERY few and they were people who only intended to harm the server, we want to emphasize that we are sorry, we have made a mistake and we assure you that nothing similar will happen again.
We appreciate and love our community as the most, we know that we have failed you, but we have already repaired our error (deactivating the system) and we will continue working to improve every day a little more, and to offer the highest quality and recover all the trust of our players.
We want to clarify that no data of your accounts or anything similar has been affected, this problem has only affected less than 30 accounts of people who pretended to harm the server, and still repeat, We are sorry, we admit our error, and we will work for your privacy to do not be harmed again in any way.
