Krinsath writes: CCP, publishers of Eve Online, have posted a Dev Blog detailing the circumstances leading up to the deletion of XP's boot.ini file, which was earlier covered on Slashdot. The blog is decently detailed about how the mistake occurred (a new installer from their normal one), how they responded and what CCP has learned from it. While fairly dry, it is to the company's credit that they're being open about one of the more serious bugs to crop up in gaming's recent history.

While it is true that there some folks who would seem inclined to cry "ZOMG HAX" after every unfortunate PvP loss, it is becoming increasingly evident that Vanguard is quite vulnerable to those who would try to exploit the various game mechanics. And this isn't just speculation or n00bs crying-wolf. While browsing youtube for Vanguard gameplay videos, I stumbled across a full tutorial explaining to me the software and implementations I would need in order to speedhack Vanguard. Ouch! SoE really needs to get on top of this one, because this is the sort of thing that WILL ruin a game. http://www.fangbear.com/2007/04/20/is-vanguard-bei ng-trashed-by-hackers/"
