#51472, "I've been hacked? Denied? Divine intervention?"
Edited on Mon 16-Sep-13 06:21 AM

          

Woke up, turned on my computer - tried to boot up my client. Windows tells me the .exe the shortcut points to no longer exists. I check inside the folder - nothing. I go to my downloads folder, try to run the .exe I installed it from - Suddenly this no longer exists, soon after it dissapears from view in my downloads folder. I try to download it again, when I try to open the containing folder to run it nothing happens - this works for every other file I downloaded. I go back to the download page and get a 404. Every other link on the site still works.

But it gets worse - I downloaded a different client, connected to the mud. Typed my character name. 'Illegal name'. Created a new character to test. That worked.

Edit: tried a 3rd client, seems my character now exists again. False alarm. Still, pretty freaked out.

Mudlet does this to me... it says illegal name, but then I enter my name again and it works. I'm assuming it probably sends a bunch of odd characters trying to negotiate some compression protocol or something.

Not sure if keyboard and character set might be an issue around the illegal name.

I've asked someone else to check it out for me and they're able to download and run the file. I'm unable to recieve it via IM or email attatchment. I'm doing a virus scan now.

Illegal name thing doesn't seem to be a problem now after having tried a different client. So the problem is on my end, and I apologise for freaking out about it on here.
