First time transport hacked on US 267

[slyder73 94]

Tonight was the first time I've personally been effected by hackers.

Buddy and I joined US 267; immediately something seemed odd.

They had a message at the opening screen where it usually just says "waiting for character to create"

Their additional message was something to the effect of, "all guns can be found at the ammo crates, the UH1H spawns in 5 mins. sponsored by thisgamesucks.net" And something about the Thunderdome.

We played for about an hour and things got very laggy, everythign froze for a few seconds and suddenly I was teleported to the NW airfield where some sort of concrete compound had been erected around the runway. As soon as I was teleported I disconnected so not sure what happened after. I didn't want to be there when the whole server got teleported there.

I was hoping I got off before the server saved my new location but when I logged into another server I was at the NW airfield. Had to run the 6km back to where my buddy was who DID get out in time.

Either US 267 has been taken over by hackers or they are hackers. This occured around 10:30'ish Pacific Time.

What toys?

As soon as I got teleported I disconnected. I didn't want to stick around for the predicted shitstorm.

So follow-up question to this thunderdome, transport hack problem on servers.

Once a player is teleported, how fast does the database save that? If one gets teleported and instantly killed, can ALT F4'ing really fast prevent that from being saved on the hive? Or again, how often does the hive save?
