Wired News: Hackers Put 'Bane' in Shadowbane

The population of an entire Shadowbane town was forcibly moved to the bottom of the sea,
where they drowned. City guards turned feral and attacked town residents. Mobs of
never-before-seen superpowerful creatures, seemingly spontaneously spawned from the
ether, began to prowl the streets unchecked, killing characters in the most painful way possible.

Experienced players looked on in horror as new players were slowly and gleefully dismembered by
ax-wielding ogres. Others just laughed and looted the characters' bodies after the ogres were done.

Mike Gontelli, a late arrival to the game that evening, said that when he arrived in Shadowbane
"there were hundreds of tombstones. New players were being beaten and tortured. Newbie blood
was flowing like a river. I knew it wasn't real, but it was oddly terrifying."
