[Official] Tripwire event on 27-Jul-2014, 03:44 UTC

We are aware of the Tripwire event that occurred on 27-Jul-2014, 03:44 UTC.

If you are seeing this...

Logging in...
Tripwire Active, shutting down Honorbuddy!​

Here's what you need to know...

1. Don't Panic.
2. If you have other copies of Honorbuddy running that are not disconnected by Tripwire (not possible unless you're doing naughty things), disconnect them as soon as possible.
3. This Tripwire event is unrelated to any previous Tripwire activation. All this means is the game client was updated in a fashion that requires immediate investigation by our Development staff.

NOTE: Your account is not at risk, and your account is not banned or flagged. This was a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of your game client account(s).​

If this is your first Tripwire event:

As a reminder, Tripwire disconnects Honorbuddy and shuts down the game client any time unusual activity is detected in the Warden and its friends. It does not mean your account was detected. You can find more information about Tripwire here:

What happens now?

Right now, the Development staff is checking to see what has been changed. If it is warranted, a new Honorbuddy update will be pushed. Or, if the game client changes are considered mundane, the Tripwire will be reset.

The development staff is looking into the situation, and updates will be provided as soon information becomes available.​

What can you do?

• Don't make new threads regarding the Tripwire event.
• Don't spread false information, and don't speculate on things you can't possibly know.
• Please be patient—these things take time.

 

At 0345 UTC, a Warden module was seen that caused some concern. The changes appear to be innocuous so we are re-opening auth. As I said earlier this week, it will be late August before we can report to you, our users, what we think is going on. For now all we can say is that Warden is being worked on.
