New hacking epidemic

Logging onto the game might be tricky to track and anticipate, unless you're relogging.

Really it depends how effectively they can use the method. If they are asking people to CC it's probably only a short term specific channel thing, if they could do more widespread (24/7 attempts on all 19 channels) they could just do that on high level characters they knew were active.

@ Harrisonized: no, that's not how it works. You have to change channel because it goes
1) tell server you're changing channel
2) disconnect from channel
3) attempt to connect to other channel

Any time between 1 and 3, if the hacker attempts to connect to the other channel before you, they can 'steal' the connection.
