As many users in our community might have noticed there's been quite a few things going on around FeralHeart Game, Server and site. Most commonly referred to as "Feral-Heart being hacked". The hacking itself has been quite unfortunate and forced us to take down the game server while addressing the situation. We're back online now and we've noticed quite a lot of discussions and speculation about this incident so we're hoping that a lot will be explained in this post but we would also like to assure you the players of FeralHeart that there's nothing to worry about. This post is here to sum up and inform.
During Friday 27th last week we had a breach in the game where a group of users tried to cause some havoc for the community by taking control of staff accounts and abusing a limited set of moderation powers, they also altered some characters sizes and proportions. The combination of odd looking characters and usage of staff accounts in a bad manner, managed to get quite the attention from players and staff of the game, so in response we took the game offline. As we're sure that most of our readers understand, it's quite a serious matter to have users accessing accounts which aren't theirs. It's truly something we wanted to look into and deal with. During the last couple of days we've had a lot of speculation going on around the game from players, why, how, who and of course what this will mean for Feral-Heart(which is to be expected), but we've not provided an explanation because we wanted to be sure what we're dealing with, and focus on working it out.
Most importantly your passwords and personal information are safe with us, and these "Hackers" were not able to get a hold of any login information. The "hack" appears to be that some users have gotten hold of the game source code, and probably built a modified game client and/or found a small hole in the game's connection process to cause the events that took place. How exactly they may have obtained such information we don't know. Last we were aware only the game creator KovuLKD had such access and knowledge. While there are rumors of other users having access to the source there is no reliable information to confirm this. If this is the case the game is in a bit of a rough spot for these kind of attacks but we're working on more security measures server side to prevent any similar abuse. For now we're still working out how exactly things are going to work in the future and restricting the users from playing that have been actively involved the "hacking" that took place.
Just to clarify since other games and sites were mentioned by the ones hijacking the staff accounts during the "hacking". This has been a specific attack against Feral-Heart in how it works and no other game or site is more or less vulnerable because Feral-Heart was tinkered with. Nor can we confirm or deny these sites/games involvement, and it doesn't make them more or less likely to have been involved with the "hacking", we'd appreciate it if you users understand this. We'd also like to inform users not to use any stretched out characters found of their account in the game as we will start kicking/banning users found using these characters.
Finally we want to thank a lot of you fluffs for being patient with us in this matter and hanging in there while the situation has been looked into, but also supporting staff in while we had our paws busy with everything else. Your support always means a great deal. And of course a big thanks to Raz for his quick work to sort out the game so we can play it again so quickly.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, we have a new system in place to take care of the game and make it more secure. This requires users to open up a new tab on our site, login with their desired account and keep the browser open during the time they play the game. This tab is one of the new security measures, and as much as it might cause more hassle to play the game, we hope that all users understand the importance of having it there. Instructions on how to use it can be found below:
-Either use this link http://feral-heart.com/login/ (http://feral-heart.com/login/) or click "Play Game" in the right side of the site menu.
-Login to the account you wish to play on by providing the correct details.
-Give it a minute to connect and then launch your FH game client and login through there with the same account.
-Keep the tab and browser open during the whole time you play Feral-Heart.
Questions & Answers (Q&A)
Will the login tab stay forever or will we be able to login normally again sometime?
As of now, this tab is here to stay. We understand it might not be optimal for some users and might cause some hassle, but it's for the better.
Will I be able to sign in to multiple accounts at once?
You are able to sign into several accounts at once, however you might need to use different browsers to connect to more than one account at once. Download Firefox, Chrome, Opera or any other browser of your choice and run it in tandem.
It will not let me connect to the game, why?
If you're experiencing issues it could be how your browser is currently set up. We do not allow any proxies so please disable any proxy settings you might have enabled. Also do not run the browser in incognito/private browsing mode and have cookies enabled. If you still have issues feel free to try another web browser all together. Also do keep in mind that we do not let any banned users connect to the game
That's all for now and don't hesitate to private message us on the forum if you'd have any further questions, thank you for reading.

Thanks for clearing everything up for everyone, Red. We all appreciate it and the hard work the staff team and especially Raz has done to take care of this whole issue. I really hope nothing like this happens again, which nobody can really be too sure about. I'll keep a look out for anything suspicious and try to report anything worth showing the staff related to this ordeal.
-
Thanks for the info, Red! Thanks again to Raz and the rest of the staff<3
-
Thank you for the more detailed update regarding this issue we're currently headbutting. I appreciate all the work both staff and users like myself have put into this. Keeping the users informed of the new login and much more.
I want to give a personal thank you to Hooli and Enoki who have been two of the users that have been active in the help and hack-news threads to make sure people who are having issues with the login get some help.
No matter who is behind this or why this happened, this shows we can pull through as a community.
-
Ok. I'm willing to accept these new log in terms, as long as there is a way to stop the web page from constantly logging me out. I don't understand how proxies work on a mac, and I don't understand what I need to do in order to fix the time out issue. Could someone explain that to me?
-
so this is going to stay forever?
-
Couldn't have said it better myself, Red. Good on you for making this thread, as some players were still asking repetitive questions that already had answers. This is good. There's nothing more any of us can add here, and that's good.
We thank you for all of your hard work. If anything, we should be grateful for the patience YOU STAFF MEMBERS have had with US, dealing with your own adult lives and this mess. Thank you.
For those still wondering, Cereal Soup IS completely innocent of this attack. I do not know anything about Moonrise but as far as I have looked around, they are innocent as well.
I would suggest locking the other hacking news threads now that this is here, to prevent needless replies on them.
I also thank Hooli, Enoki, and Reckless for their work.
-
so this is going to stay forever?
It's going to stay for now, until further notice.

Thank you for the understanding I didn't understood this in till now I might just stay off FH for a while

Can you guys at least patch the login tab so that it doesn't constantly time out? Because everyone seems to be complaining about it the most. Intact, theres a thread dedicated to that issue. I think once that issue is addressed, I think people will be less frustrated with this new login system.

As far as I know, they're still working on this. There are still a lot of things to be worked through and looked at.
I'm not sure why, but only some people have this issue, while others have no problem at all.

I think its the proxy thing that causes some people to not experience the time out.

Also do keep in mind that this is not a help thread, most help threads made will be seen by someone and if it's a problem that can be sorted it will.
Please try to user firefox browser since it has been proven to work the best if you have issues, and do not diddle with any settings regarding the connection to the internet. The only reason we are aware of right now causing people to disconnect, is due to their browser not using the page as they should and refreshing by itself.

Ok. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for keeping FeralHeart alive.

No worries and good luck.
-
Thankies f'er the most desired update Red! Very happy to still 'ave FeralHeart up n'running. A thank ye to all the staff and especially to Raz f'er working so diligently to get this situation solved.
On a side note, if 'tis really possible that they used the source code to hack into the game, do ye think there will be any way to retrieve it? Or is this just one of the possible ways one could hack the server?
-
My biggest concern being is if Feral-heart continues to get attacked, will you be forced to close it down for good? I'd hate for that to happen for many reason and one of them is to escape reality to just relax and take a load off. The game means a lot to me and it sucks to see it abused like this. I'm happy to see the staff working their fluffy butts off to make it accessible for the users and I speak for myself when I say I appreciate it. I hope everything works out in the end and I'd hate to see FH be shut down over hacks and abuse.
Stay furry,
LK
-
Feral Heart will not be shutting down any time soon, those are rumors that were falsely started after the server was down for security measures and so on. The staff are working hard to keep the game running smoothly, and will for a long time. No reason FH should shut down any time soon.
Hopefully this cleared a bit up for ya~
As for the post, thank you for this Red. Let's hope the new security measures work for the long run. I hope all is well on your end~ Will be watching for those characters closely.

I don't usually post on the forums and what not. But There is a few things i'm concerned about. However I do think a thanks is in order first.
Thank you everyone in the staff for shutting down the servers when it seemed the best time and for preventing the hackers from getting into more mischief at the time. That in all honesty was the best choice and a good decision anyone could do. Also Would like to thank you all for coming up with this solution even if it's a bit worrisome.
As for concerns. If these hackers indeed got the source code and used it to manipulate the game in any way. Then perhaps it would be best to let Kovu know, as he was supposed to be the only few that should know it. (I am unsure if he's been in contact with the staff or not. If not I apologize for my lack of information though still suggest sending an email to him anyway.) I, for one am hoping it was just a bug the hackers exploited. Because if they do have the code then it would not bode well for this game. Second the way this solution was made makes me uneasy. Is this page safe to keep up? And will it be safe-ish from hackers? Because they way it's used makes one think that a hacker could get user information from this. However maybe that's just me being a worry wort.
Anyway now that the concerns are out there. I'm very happy and grateful for all the work the staff puts in. I do wish I could make my concerns more detailed though I find myself unable to do so. ^^; So with that I'll thank the staff again for all the work they put into this and hope that this event will be the last of it's kind.
-
Thank you for the information, Red.~ It's nice to know that all of our account info is safe, and wasn't breached in to. However, they did find a way to hack into my account--with ease. None of my information (password) was given out to them.--so just to keep it safe, I changed my password so my account, hopefully, won't be hacked into again.--but anywho, moving away from all of that... thank you to you, Raz, Allegra, and the other staffers for trying your best to make the security of the game more secure.~
-
The information was very helpful, For which I was on vacation when this happened ;-; I hated to come back to FH hacked, so this cleared up most of the fog. (Special thanks to Raz and the Staffies/Hooli and Enoki)
-
Ah! Great job me moderator Red, and the staff! But, you see; when i access the game on the index page (the thing i have to keep up to play) Lags my FH a bit more than usual. This is why i am concerned: What if this is a PERMANENT thing, i won't be able to play then! Anyways... try to fix c;??

If your game is lagging, there are various things you can do to help reduce the lag (such as turning off name-tags, turning down your view distance, turning off water reflection, etc.) Whether this will be forever permanent, we're not certain of, although we will be using it for a while in order to secure users' accounts. If we did not have the page set up, no one would be able to log in, lag or no lag. If your game is lagging, it may not be the connection page so much as your computer itself causing the lag. Also, if you have any mods or large item pack/mass markings installed, this may cause lag as well, so do remove these to help prevent lag.

No need to worry about account security, no accounts were breached during the incident.

Well that's good to news then, I hope everything goes smoothly from here on in. ^~^

Thanks for clearing up these things Red! We're so happy that the game is back online and we all hope It stays that way and without new incidents! ^^
-
Thanks for the FAQ, that should ease minds. And lastly, I send my thanks to Enoki & Hooli who have been very helpful and helped a lot of floofs.

Thanks for the headsup, Red. This is really helpful for me and the rest of us.

No need to worry about account security, no accounts were breached during the incident.
Apparently I should make myself a bit more clear. I was not talking about during the incident I was speaking of the present and future. As in now. Today, tomorrow etc. I'm aware no account info was leaked during the incident. I was asking is this new measure safe to use now? However thank you anyway for answering those who may not have known their info was safe during the incident. And again thank you staff for working so hard on all of this.

I'm not sure why, but only some people have this issue, while others have no problem at all.
I think its the proxy thing that causes some people to not experience the time out.
what is a proxy, and how do i use it?

Yes, the functions that we have set up are very secure. The page that connects you to the game server is completely safe, as Raz has spent quite a bit of time working on making it secure. The page may log you out after a while, but it's very secure.
what is a proxy, and how do i use it?
A proxy, in short, is an anonymity tool. You will either have a proxy setting enabled or disabled (in order to connect to the server, you will need to have it disabled.) You will most likely know if you are using one, yet if you are not sure, you could peek into your computer settings.
-
Thank you for all your work, Red, and staff. We appreciate your help.

I get connected, but then, from the moment I get in the game (like with my character) and try to rp with my friends, I lose connection.

Even though I still can't connect, I'll just wait until everything's fixed. Thank you Raz for the help though!

Just to clarify since other games and sites were mentioned by the ones hijacking the staff accounts during the "hacking". This has been a specific attack against Feral-Heart in how it works and no other game or site is more or less vulnerable because Feral-Heart was tinkered with. Nor can we confirm or deny these sites/games involvement, and it doesn't make them more or less likely to have been involved with the "hacking", we'd appreciate it if you users understand this. We'd also like to inform users not to use any stretched out characters found of their account in the game as we will start kicking/banning users found using these characters.
WOW!!!! REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'd just like to state something regarding a certain bit of this post... you say you can't confirm nor deny MR and CS's involvement, but actually, you can.
We both actively helped you by supplying information. We both gave our sides, explained our innocence. There is proof that we were not involved. The hackers themselves have said it, and we have stated it many times and given backup to support us.
Neither CS nor MR was involved in this attack, instead we were targets like you, and you and all the rest of the staff know this. I myself have actively helped you guys by giving a ton of information via PM, and I'm MR's head administrator.
Thanks for completely sweeping us under the rug.

FH is at it again!!!! You can't find more vague and ill-conceived answers anywhere else folks!!
-
You guys need to settle down already.
Just because a few staff get messages about users you suspect might be involved doesn't make it law nor direct truth to what took place in FeralHeart and as far as I see it we should be allowed to look through the hard evidence we can find on our own server and what took place. Even though things said during the event by those who were in it included links to your pages, we do not "assume" anything.
Keep in mind that in that very text we say we cannot "confirm nor deny" doesn't mean we accuse anyone. Also, taking it directly from the text written " it doesn't make them more or less likely to have been involved with the "hacking". We are trying to be as direct about this matter as possible and we cannot fully know to which extent it reaches out, and if we truly thought you guys were a suspect we'd probably have a note about it somewhere.
Right now you're being very quick to jump the gun and not really taking any consideration of what took place and that it actually happened in Feral-Heart and that this is the community it damaged the most. It's our game that was breached, had to be taken down, and something we had to clarify to users. I understand you guys are upset if someone posted a link or mentioned your game during this, but do no play the card that we're bad for trying to move on slowly and talking about something we simply cannot know for certain.

Yeah u guys sure are suffering the aftermath of tumblr hashtags supporting you and not to mention all the notes of " WOW U GUYS ARE THE BEST KEEP IT UP! "
You know I got death threats right???? But that's just me jumping the gun because we weren't targeted in any way with this as well as FH. Maybe my server didn't get taken down but my users were harassed. : - ) That kinda bums me out
-
Exactly what Blackmail said. Black's gotten death threats over this, our games are being blamed by many and we're being dragged through the mud, and you're acting like we could still be behind this. You don't even give us the time of day to acknowledge that we aren't involved in the attack, that we helped.
We're innocent and you know it. We are involved as targets in this just as much as you. Where you're getting praise, we're over here getting hate and death threats and being harassed by the hackers just as much as FH is.
We helped out with this whole thing by supplying information and evidence on our end, and you're not even giving us any acknowledgement.
-
Yeah, "damage". The only damage that happened to your game was that a few people were kicked and it had to be taken down. Nothing so "damaging", while Skull (and CS staff members?) were given death threats and on the other hand, did most of the job in catching the hacker.
Not to add that Skull is harassed by them since last year until /now/.
But yeah, FH staff were the most to suffer out of this. Definitely.
-
Users are concerned for the game since it was in the risk zone. FeralHeart has been here for quite some time and got all sorts of messages sent our way as the game it is, and the community that follows. But do not make it seem like it's our fault these tags might exist out there or users not knowing how to behave.
We've not accused you guys of anything, and we're being very clear that just because you guys were mentioned doesn't make it more or less likely you were involved with what took place. We're just trying to continue where it has left us. I am truly sorry if you guys have someone against you that might've taken the liberty to drag you in here, but the truth is that we still don't know each and every user that might've been involved.
So please keep this in mind.

I get what you're trying to do by taking the neutral ground and saying you don't know whether or not we're responsible. But that's a load of horsedonkey because you, as an Admin, have the ability to see IP's and to even check the timing that events occured. You can see that my IP and Skull's IP weren't involved- you can see that we're both very upset about this and were upset with eachother, and uh- oh yeah- We still have ZERO information from you guys about anything. How can you guys still be so unaware of what's going on with your own server yet you have enough evidence to proudly assume that someone has the source code?
Users see you as having magic powers over everything- and if the magical FH being in the sky is undecided that gives the currently upset FH users attacking us zero reason to stop- and the people who don't think we're guilty now a chance to second guess. If you're really so oblivious as to whether or not MR and CS are involved- just zip it up : - ) There's no harm in saying we're innocent now to stave off the harassers and then decide later that we were guilty. It's okay to be wrong sometimes.
-
Will kindly ask users not to post more about this since it's not going to lead anyone anywhere. If you have concerns do feel free to send a message to any of the staff.

" No one is praising FH anymore and speaking way 2 much truth so i lock thred : - ( "
-
What the...?
How about to have a dispute without backing away?
-
This thread were never about praise, rather a general update.
If you want to show exactly how your behavior is and take the worst out of anything even though we are trying to be fair then so be it. I just don't want any drama junk on the boards. I have been trying to be reasonable and let you talk but this is where it leads sadly.
-
"we are trying to be fair"; " I have been trying to be reasonable"
Trying. That the keyword.
-
I understand how Cereal Soup and Moonrise are concerned about their game, and I do not blame them for such. However, I do not understand the whole idea of starting an argument within the FeralHeart threads. Staff has never claimed that these games were even involved with the whole event, however it was a statement by the so-called hackers to stirr up some drama.
At the moment, you're giving them what they want.
You're not making yourself looking any better by causing drama here, rather the opposite. - I doubt you're the only staff who have ever been receiving death threats.
-
So down to heart guys, really.
We made a thread about general information concerning our community, and now you're taking it out on us even though we no where made pointers or accusations of it being you. And now we all should be sorry and focus on how you guys were the targets just because we've gotten supportive messages.
There's literary nothing I can say, or anyone else on staff can say that would please any of you guys. I am deeply sorry for "trying" to just take my time to reply to you without... "this"?
Keep the thread nice now.
-
Thank you so much for the game update, Red.
-
I personally believe everyone here on feral-heart has been trying their best these last couple of days. It's understandable where the frustration comes from and why people may be upset. But I sincerely believe that the staff have done an excellent job on their behalf. I mean, having got things under control so quickly takes a lot and for how many of you guys there are you've all tried your hardest and we should be grateful for that. I'm not trying to sound pons and I'm most certainly not trying to seem like I'm kneeling before anyone but Red is right in what he's trying to say. It's been tough and everyone's worked hard including the community.
I hope I'm not adding to anything here, I'm sorry if I am but I really just wanted to share my opinion. It's been tough on us all and even heart-breaking to some, but seeing it so under-control just in a week is quite magnificent. It just goes to show how great this community can be.
Hope I'm seen right in saying this.

It's not that we're just getting death threats. We're getting death threats SPECIFICALLY from FH users. If CS users were sending death threats to FH staff I would be on it in a heartbeat and not making threads about ' Well GUYS we just don't know the truth : - ) ?!?!! '
And now we all should be sorry and focus on how you guys were the targets just because we've gotten supportive messages.
Red you know well enough that that is not what I'm trying to do lol?!?! I'd like it if you would provide YOUR users with comfort that we're not attacking you. And I'd like me and Moon to be provided with IP's since that's information that you have that we don't. We were told you guys would provide it when you had it- so if you're at the point that you've opened up your server again, you must have account names, emails, anything.
Like I said before, if CS was hacked and they pinned this one on you guys- I would have IP's and names for you right away. You're taking your sweet time handing us anything so that I can look over my account database for any similar info. And since your users are concerned about the security of their accounts which is a SERIOUS deal- you should not be tossing guesses into the air.

A simple "neither CS nor MR were behind the hacking" would have sufficed. You did bring us up, but when you did it was to basically say "we have no information as to whether these other games were behind it or not, they are not any less likely to have been behind it" despite the large amount of evidence supporting the fact that we are not behind it, and the fact we've actively helped you track down the person who is.
We would appreciate not being swept under the rug as if this didn't affect us at all.

If you have proof that some FH members are sending death-threats to you - you are more then welcome to send it my way. In no way would we encourage or support that kind of behavior, nor does it help anyone if people start throwing hate at each other and the different communities.

I understand how Cereal Soup and Moonrise are concerned about their game, and I do not blame them for such. However, I do not understand the whole idea of starting an argument within the FeralHeart threads. Staff has never claimed that these games were even involved with the whole event, however it was a statement by the so-called hackers to stirr up some drama.

I, f'er one, am truly sorry f'er what has gone on b'tween y'er groups and the death threats from members. But let us remember what started all of this-members who were being quite immature and decided to put on a show and drag, sadfully, ye all into this horrible mess. There will always be immaturity 'round, and there is no way 'round it. The death threats from FH members are most likely more immature young kids who don't know when 'tis time to end it. Ye all cannot blame the staff f'er these death threats, as they had no part in it.
Adding more negative posts will just please this sect of people that started it all in the first place. We all must stick t'gether when things like this come 'round.

You're being very rude and childish about a matter that could easily be addressed and talked about. We have no guesses thrown in thin air here and that's the reason why things has been worded the way they have. You should really consider excusing for this kind of behavior, and you're still going at it here in the comment section even though being kindly asked to settle down.
Just look at your posts for a bit and see what has been said. I will not involve myself with this sort of junk posting no further since I've been very clear. Do PM staff from now on regarding this.
Any more replies will be deleted if they continue to nudge about this here in this manner and I might have to restrict posting from the account if you insist on not reading these basic lines of text.
Thank you.

" No one is praising FH anymore and speaking way 2 much truth so i lock thred : - ( "
If you're really so oblivious as to whether or not MR and CS are involved- just zip it up : - )
That's enough of the attitude. If we see any more disrespect and rude behaviorto any users (including staff), action will be taken against the individuals who do this.
Straighten up. You're better than that. And don't pull the "Oh they just can't handle criticism" card. You know you're being sassy, and you're not going to make us want to help your cause if you give us the middle finger while you ask for it. Knock it off.
Now, as for those who are worried and have been attacked in because you are part of CerealSoup or Moonrise...
Right now, FH was majorly hacked less than a week ago. We're in the investigation phase, and it's Raz that's been busy juggling work and whatnot to do the vast majority of it. We can only do so much without his help, but even still we have come leaps and bounds to get ourselves back onto our feet. It's easier said than done, as I'm sure you understand. We implore you for patience in this. I apologize in behalf of our staff if we cannot provide you all of the information you desire.
However, FeralHeart's website is for FeralHeart, at large. We are not FH and CS/MR/IT servers. We will first set our own matters straight, in the same way a city that just suffered a crisis will make sure it's got its orders in line before reaching outside of its boundaries. As much as we do care about other communities, FH and its staff currently have a lot to juggle, and our own priorities (like making sure hackers and DDoSers aren't still coming after us) do take precedent. We expect these communities would do the same. However, this isn't my point.
You are asking for an official statement of CS and MR's innocence with regards to the hacking.
However.. We cannot know this, not yet. There is more investigation that needs to happen. As someone stated, we could make a "They're innocent!" post, and then turn around on our word if we find proof that they were indeed guilty. However, FH is not here to play the finger-pointing game. And if CS and MR are indeed innocent (as they probably are), you should have nothing to worry about, even if people question you. A single post on our website will not sway the hearts of those who are sending you death threats.
I myself would know.. Many of our staff have received death threats, sometimes to the group, sometimes to individuals. Some of our staff have even received graphic rape threats, myself included (yes, seriously, and it's not an unusual thing). I'm so sorry to hear that you all have also been attacked. No one deserves that sort of abuse, anywhere, even if it's online.
This isn't a game of "Who has it worse??" or some sort of "Suffering Olympics," though. We're here for our games and communities in the end, and the extra hoops we jump through are just part of the package at times, just like you guys are trying to help what you care about.
Nor can we confirm or deny these sites/games involvement, and it doesn't make them more or less likely to have been involved with the "hacking", we'd appreciate it if you users understand this.
^That's from our original thread regarding these matters, and specifically the involvement (or lack thereof) with other games.
Simply put, we do not want to confuse anything by posting information we don't know for certain. We highly doubt any entire game has decided to attack anyone; Rather, a group of disgruntled users hiding somewhere, perhaps involved in all of communities. We cannot know, even if you can see IPs and so on. There's more to it, and we do not have a record of every IP match (or lack of a match) to every single individual on every game and their staff teams. Do not pretend to know more than you do--for we're doing everything in our power to pinpoint the real troublemakers, and to neutralize them when the time comes. But we can't act too early.
Call us vague if you wish, but we're doing what will be best for the game in the long run--and not acting on anything until we're certain of it. Your innocence will come to light in its due time, and we will not blame you or anyone until we have the whole matter traced in its entirety--and even then, we aren't here to play the blame-game.
We really hope that the trolls and harassers will be removed from your communities, soon, though. It hurts to see anyone get attacked over.. Well, games. It's petty at the least. It seems like many games outside of us have been under fire since this, too, but time, patience, and resilience on the part of its communities and staff will bring things to light in their due time.
We can't fulfill your request right now, @Blackmail, Skulleh, etc. We can only implore you for patience from where we stand right now, less than a week away from very major events. We're human, too, and we can't see everything as clearly and as quickly as we want to.
Please PM me if you have any further questions or concerns.

I think that came across wrong, Blackmail. Let me rephrase~
"...as for those who have been attacked on behalf of CS and MR..."
=
"If you have been attacked because you're involved with CS and MR... Look here."
No one has been blamed. If it's any consolation, I went back and reworded my post, too, just so no one else gets confused by it.

I mean absolutely no offensive to Kovu when I say this but what was the reason that he did not give the Mods the Source code in order to properly update the game?
Not just update it when it comes to graphic and or glitches but when it comes to situations like this as well? This has always baffled me because it seems completely stupid that it wasn't given to the Mods so they could make updates easier.
I love Feral Heart just as much as the next person in fact roleplaying is my life and I don't know what I'd without my characters. But I feel like if something big isn't done then there will not be Feral Heart. First with General shutting down and now with the servers like this even though it is temporary until a problem is found has driven a significant amount of people away. The servers used to go over 300/400 and those numbers have dropped. Newer games like Feral Heart coming out have better security updates because the Source Code is still in THEIR hands. Without drastic updates how will the game keep its self safe if something major happens?

A very good question indeed. I think he just didn't want anyone taking the source code and making more servers like FH, like they did with IT. But that is just what I think the reason was. Apologies if I am incorrect.

That's the question we've been battling for almost four years, I'm afraid. As far as we knew, he'd been the only one with the source code until now. He won't speak with us, no matter how often we attempt to reach out to him. He never stated that he wanted to game to be shut down, either, so we're just kind of left to maintain what we can, you know?
That may be biggest question we've ever had about the game. o: Maybe someday we'll have an answer, and hopefully from him, himself. We're always wanting to hear back from him.

Question, for the "stretched out characters" being kicked/ban. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that. Do you mean names, or as the character you are on, like the size of it made max out ect. Could someone please give me a bit more detail on this?
Thank you ^.^

Oh, by that they mean the character's size. The hackers made their characters appear almost 2 dimensional and stretched out unnaturally. Ye cannot physically do this with how the size tabs are set up.
EDIT: If the character looks like this, then don't use it. {Had to find an example of what I meant.}

I suppose that's understandable. But the thing is, if he didn't want Feral Heart to end up like Impressive Title why spend so much time on it? I honestly wish I could help but I'm majoring in Game Design and Art not Programming. However, I have a few faint thoughts why people would do this.
1) They were either banned from the game before because they weren't behaving properly and took their anger out on the mods.
2) They've decided to use newer games like Feral Heart as a cover so the anger of the Feral Heart fans would be directed over to them and start a full out war and watch for fun.
Either way, I wish there was something I could do to help because I have my own game in development right now. But if you guys need us for anything we'd be happy to help ^^

If you're caught with one of those characters whether it be in-game or just in your character creation in general you can get in trouble. The "stretched out characters" are green and black, and are stretched and sized past normal FH proportions. You can look at an example of this here.

I think everyone here needs to calm the F down right here and now. I take a nap for 3 hours and I come back to THIS mess?
Listen y'all...I am supportive of both FH and CS; Blackie, I met you and I love you, and I love the FH staff. Skulleh, I don't know you or your game as much but I support you as well. I am on no "sides" here except against the hackers. I believe you guys are innocent, yes, but this is taking things too far.
It's disgusting and insane that people continue to attack you and give DEATH THREATS over a damn GAME, but acting this way is not helping yourselves. I would be scared too, but you have to remember the people attacking you are whiny, spoiled CHILDREN. They CANNOT touch you or even find you no matter what they say. I understand your fears and paranoia but you must calm down. I admit that you two ARE being kind of rude to the FH staff...both Red and White have done their best to stay calm and mature in their answers to you and they have said all they can. They give the same answers over and over and that consistency should prove that they ARE doing what's possible in this time.
Please, for the sake of FH, the sake of MR, the sake of CS, the sake of all of these communities, STOP THIS FIGHTING.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE HACKERS WANTED FROM THEIR ACTIONS.
They WANTED to cause a war, they WANTED everyone to fight...AND YOU ARE GIVING THEM EXACTLY THAT POWER OVER YOU GUYS.
You cannot fight hate with hate. You cannot fight the trolls and threats with more screaming and yelling, sassiness, attitude, whatever have you...I understand you guys are panicked and defensive but please...We all need PEACE. We all need equality and understanding.
As I said, Blackie and Skulleh, I support you guys (especially, Blackie, since you met me and read the things I said in support on your CS forum)...and I support the FH staff.
Things will never, in any part of life, ever be 100% perfect the way we want it..and that's the nature of human beings: The need for dominance. We all want something from or over another person, and conflict ensues from it.
Please, for the love of whatever deities you all believe in, stop this fighting right now.
Maybe it's my poor psyche traumatized from my childhood, but I have NEVER handled arguments like this between people I care about very well. Granted I usually fail at being a peacekeeper, but there's no harm in trying.
I love all of you and I want to see the community come out on top. We need to be bonding together, making the community stronger...not bickering like children because that only stoops us down to the levels of the trolls who are giving death threats. All IT games are equal and wonderful. Sure, we have our preferences, but there's no reason to fight and I will stand in defense of the IT COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, because there are wonderful people in it, like all of you guys. Staff of FH, MR, CS, and others..you guys wouldn't be staff if you weren't good people, so please...let there be some logical reasoning, some true discussion...no more fighting, I beg of you.
What is it about human nature that does this?? Do people have an innate need or lust for conflict?? This is why world peace can never exist...because even things like VIDEO GAMES cause entire RIOTS in people.
None of this fighting between CS, MR, or FH is necessary. It's what the hackers wanted. This was supposed to have been calmed down by now.
Everyone fighting is playing into the hackers' grubby hands. You're all becoming pawns for a little war spectacle that they are going to sit back and watch. Whether you're from CS, MR, or FH, you're all becoming pawns in their little game because you're allowing yourselves to stoop to these levels.
What happened to "fight hate with love"? What happened to peace? What happened to equality? What happened to maturity and understanding?
I ask, neigh, I BEG EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITIES...stop..fighting. Please.

Dear Skulleh and Blackmail
I'd like to point out a couple of things.
Firstly the the timing of the hack wasn't great. While they did manage to pick a time where minimal staff were around. They also picked the quietest time in the game so only a very minimal number for FeralHeart users saw what happend.
I'm sure if it wasn't for your posts here the mass community wouldn't even be aware of your games.
So i have to question?
First Skulleh you've been in game what twice in the last year? And until now you post count was almost 0?
Blackmail while you have a little more activity on your account you've been in game a handful of times and have some post history should I point out that that your second post here was to bash the anatomy of the character models?
So just what is it your doing here? Your not really FeralHeart users are you? Infact you were very quick off the mark to close up shops and come and post here considering you and not involved here and the hack was "unconnected" to you?
And who's to say your not involved its not hard to get hold of two "clean" accounts and use them to your own ends?
As for providing you information its our problem we have no obligation to you to disclose anything. Or are you some sort of industry regulation body for hacks I wasn't aware of?
So in conclusion the more your posting and making a thing of "It wasn't us" the more guilty your making yourselves look. Please consider this before your next post.
Thanks for all the fun posts
Raz

Sure, we have our preferences, but there's no reason to fight and I will stand in defense of the IT COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, because there are wonderful people in it, like all of you guys. Staff of FH, MR, CS, and others..you guys wouldn't be staff if you weren't good people, so please...let there be some logical reasoning, some true discussion...no more fighting, I beg of you.
no one is threatening anyone. it's over now. let it go!
-
Okay seriously, the fighting needs to stop. I already left a long message here straight from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART to try and help this and bring some LOGIC and maturity into everyone...
Raz, I love you, I love all the staff, and while some of what you say may be correct to a degree, your slight insults to them probably just provoked them even more.
Please, EVERYONE...I know I'm nothing special or worth anything to anyone but PLEASE read what I said above..please try to calm down and have some understanding. We need to be making peace, not picking at each other even more....No more fighting, I'm begging.
-
...Are you serious right now. I have in fact been ingame more than twice this year. I'm not active, but I do get on from time to time. I came here because someone on Skype informed me that FH has been hacked and that they had mentioned Moonrise and CS.
[11/27/2015 7:15:44 AM] Lifeon: ok so if possible do you rememebr the names of anyone who hacked moonrise at any point otehr than cent? FH got hacked bad and apparently they said they ahve soem tie to moonrise and or ceral soup and all i can think is its one fo the x moonrise hackers whos using a new name as a ceral soup staff but idk
So of course after seeing that, I started checking around for information here. Through links posted here, I noticed people on Tumblr blaming Moonrise. So of course I came here to clear up that little misconception.
Then I decided to help you guys out by supplying you with any information I could get. I thought MR, FH, and CS could work together to stop these guys. But apparently not.
I cannot even believe the audacity of you right now. The other staff are going on about "oh, we're not gonna point fingers" and here you come practically blaming us directly.
There is PLENTY of proof that neither MR nor CS were involved in the hacking except to GIVE YOU INFORMATION and HELP you. Plenty of it. We have screenshots of the hackers harassing me specifically.
All we wanted was for the staff of FH to acknowledge that we, who are being constantly blamed, are innocent and acknowledge that we've also made an effort to help, because your users have been coming after us over this.
This is the last time I try to help FH with anything. I gave you guys a ton of information, tried to help, and the repayment I get is being blamed even more by the head administrator of FH himself.
-
Ok I'mma break this down for you shh it's ok just hold my hand : - )
I'm sure if it wasn't for your posts here the mass community wouldn't even be aware of your games.
ok well first of all- rude lmao!!! We had 1k users before the exposure from the hacking. ALSO
Someone made a video. That's exposure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRYMzQvTJJY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRYMzQvTJJY)
Look at the comments we made in our staff skype chat when we originally received the ask blaming us on our tumblr on friday
(https://i.gyazo.com/fb0436b360bd94f60a3138c136de7a94.png)
(https://i.gyazo.com/74f4d2506cf5edf8cc6ea1b44afb1954.png)
yeah we sound REALLY excited!!!!!
Blackmail while you have a little more activity on your account you've been in game a handful of times and have some post history should I point out that that your second post here was to bash the anatomy of the character models?
I used to play this game a lot with friends is why? Last time I was on here I think I was with Grimalkin. I don't know if that's her user on here but I was playing with her lol. Idk what that has to do with it. And my second post wasn't bashing I was trying to offer criticism but that seems to be the same thing to you guys over here are feral heart dot com slash donttalkaboutmygame ?!?!?
So just what is it your doing here? Your not really FeralHeart users are you? Infact you were very quick off the mark to close up shops and come and post here considering you and not involved here and the hack was "unconnected" to you?
I have an advert thread for my game in Other Games and even a special code for users of FH to use in my game to get free markings..... also I peep ur guys' ideas section because I can actually do something with those wonderful minds u have sitting there unexposed.
Otherwise no I'm not an FH user anymore. Stop trying to pin me as a hacker god lol!!!!
And who's to say your not involved its not hard to get hold of two "clean" accounts and use them to your own ends?
Dude ur registration is never open how the hell would I have the time to sit there and try to make a new account?!?
As for providing you information its our problem we have no obligation to you to disclose anything. Or are you some sort of industry regulation body for hacks I wasn't aware of?
You don't have any obligation to disclose stuff with us but neither did we with you guys yet we still did??? Also wtf is an industry regulation body u gotta sit. it. doWN. Whatever that is I suppose I could be one since I'm in charge of the user information on my site. Maybe you should hire one of those though... since u seem to be having a lil trouble there :P
So in conclusion the more your posting and making a thing of "It wasn't us" the more guilty your making yourselves look. Please consider this before your next post.
I think it would be a little more suspicious if I didn't say anything about the hacking blame at all or, y'know, when evidence was brought to my face I just ignored it and threatened to ban the person saying it. I think that's a little more suspicious than me being pissed off at you guys for putting the blame on us.
Thanks for all the bun toasts

...Are you serious right now.
Alright, that's it, no, Skulleh, are YOU being serious right now?
Everyone here needs to
CALM
DOWN
Everyone needs to read what I said and relax.
In general, EVERYONE here is having "audacity", all saying things they need to stop saying. Every post made by everyone involved is making it worse and worse as it goes on. Don't you people see this?
Do you guys LIKE fighting like children? Do you LIKE giving the hackers EXACTLY what they wanted by creating a semi-war? Everyone here is in the wrong at this point and we all need to calm down and think about things like adults. Stop stooping to the levels of the hackers and the trolls in the community who are attacking either games.
I will continue to beg and plead until this stops. Everything calmed down, there was no reason to spark this all back up...Can we all just please knock this off??
I think everyone is letting their pride in the way..everyone needs to swallow it, take a deep breath, and be rational.
-
STOP THIS FIGHTING.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE HACKERS WANTED FROM THEIR ACTIONS.
They WANTED to cause a war, they WANTED everyone to fight...AND YOU ARE GIVING THEM EXACTLY THAT POWER OVER YOU GUYS.
You post a really good point here, and it's more than likely what the hackers wanted to happen between the different communities.
Here are my thoughts on it, these hackers probably saw Feral Heart as a happy and friendly community.
Wait, what? A happy and friendly community on the internet? You mean this site and game has strict rules to keep the place family friendly, and if you break the rules you have to face actual consequences??? That's not right! That's not going to fly! This is the internet! Law and order, and rules should not apply to such a place. Why can people not express themselves with foul language and inappropriate conversation? It's freedom of speech! The internet should not have rules that go against freedom of speech and expression, not even on Feral Heart.
So what do they do? They "hack" the game and start throwing other game names out there as scapegoats. Why? To create chaos among the communities. These hackers don't want to see a peaceful/friendly community with people getting along, and having fun. No! Nothing like that should happen on the internet. Communities on the internet are supposed to have a free, chaotic, cruel, unfriendly, hostile atmosphere where people can do/say anything without consequences. It's the way of the inter webs.
That's what these hackers want. They want us to fight among each other, point fingers, throw assumptions around, spew hate, argue pointlessly, and have disregard for logic and reasoning. They don't want us to have a nice community where everyone gets along and has a sense of trust with the game staff. All this arguing is not going to help the situation. It's understandable as to why some who posted on this thread are upset. Death threats can be serious business, but just remember, those making the threats are not thinking with logic or reason. They probably sent those death threats without really thinking and just on pure emotion. Emotions and feelings can get the better of some people where they don't think straight.
The staff are doing what they can to get to the bottom of this mess. What we need to do as members of the different communities who were affected by this hacking is not lose our heads. You're only satisfying the people who are REALLY responsible for this; the hackers.
-
also i have proof that a few months ago I was involved in a mapped roleplay on here so lol. I actually am an FH user thanks.
-
Skulleh and Blackmail, I don't understand why you're still going at this. You have the chance to back away and keep some sort of maturiy and respect. If you guys actually cared about you games, you'd not spread drama around Fh's forum.
-
'Scuse me, Reckless, but I was about to just leave things alone until Raz opened his mouth with his direct accusations of us.
"You're trying to explain your innocence and that you were framed and that there is proof of that fact, but you're just making yourselves more guilty!"
How can you expect us NOT to be angry over a blatant accusation like Raz just made?
-
abyss u gotta relax, just let this run it's course until they ban me ( we all know that's how this is going to end anyway )
-
. . . So in conclusion the more your posting and making a thing of "It wasn't us" the more guilty your making yourselves look. . .
Please do not put quotations on things that were not directly said by a user. Raz did not say what you put in quotations so please do not make it look like he did. What you are posting is a mere translation of what you read.
You all are wonderful group owners with great groups. We all hate to see things like this happen, but bickering about who is to blame will not fix anything. Can we please go back to a civil manner of sorting things out. If we put aside this argument and act like adults, like I am pretty sure we all are, we could get this case solved more quickly.
-
Which I and Blackmail are perfectly capable of doing if FH wouldn't point fingers at us or be ultra vague and imply that there's still a chance we could be behind it when we're clearly not.
Also I know what I put in quotes was not literally what he said. It's called paraphrasing.

Blackie, please, no. As you've seen, I'm passionately posting on both websites to break the chain of bs going on.
Why "let it run its course" til they ban you guys?
How about everyone just...oh, I dunno...
GETS
OVER
THEMSELVES
and acts like ADULTS?
Everyone here at this point has got their heads up their butts and filled with pride. Everyone needs to DROP the pride for a few minutes, breathe, and calm down.
I don't care if you all are still seeing red...You all need to stop.
Skulleh, Blackie, Raz, Red, White..ANYONE INVOLVED NEEDS TO STOP.
We're ADULTS here, not children. We are passionate people who love and care for these communities...but you're all letting out the worst sides of yourselves.
Instead of pointing middle fingers at each other, can't we just stop the madness?
This is not Sparta - we don't need to be kicking each other into bottomless pits.
We need peace.
-
Well Skulleh
Yes I am for real I have access to the logs and in fact if i run right back i was generous with twice a year because prior to those two times it was a long time before you were in game.
Nice yo see you class helping as publicly approaching the community and adding fuel to the drama fire I didn't see anyone here mention MR or CS(I could be wrong though there were a lot of posts I don't remember them all #50pages). If you have a Tumblr flame war going on take that to Tumblr.
You choose not to contact any of the admin's here directly. That's not our fault?
I never stated MR or CS did anything I simply pointed out what can easily be read by any member from you actions in case you were unaware(now that's helping).
I'm very sorry you feel we are blaming you. Circling back to the original post we have confirmed nothing and in most places its considered innocent until proven guilty?
Well if you do decide to help other games in future please consider they may not want all the information posted publicly stirring up the community
Blackmail
1k users? you do understand during peak time FeralHeart has this many users in game at once?
I would like to thank you though you may not know it but that skype screen shot has actually given us the most useful information you have provided to date even if I'm not going to say why.
In regards to your history what's done is done I simply pointed out the second post you made here. They do say first impressions count.
Our registration opens just fine actually And as you said this is an old dormant account what better one to use as its not brand new and its relatively clean.
I'm fully aware about the user information we have that doesnt mean I feel I should be passing it on to people I don't know?
I wasn't saying you should do nothing but as stated yourselves your problem was in Tumbr not here.
Thanks again for more wonderful posts
Raz

I completely agree with you when it comes to pointing fingers-no one should be blamed unless there is definite proof of such.
But just one thing to think about. If it were your game server that was hacked and the hacker mentioned that FH was behind this, yet the staff of FH gives you info on the fact that they are not, would you not still take them into consideration for the sake of the safety of your game? Just because they aren't claiming your innocent does not mean at all that they think you are guilty.
If you are truly innocent, which I believe you all are, then there is no need for this argument to continue. With everyone's participation in figuring this out, we will come to the definite conclusion that you were, and are not, involved with the hacking. This just needs to be settled delicately, maturely, and in the friendly spirit our groups once had together.
Our games, FH, Moonrise, Cereal Soup-they are all monuments of how games should be online... families. We all care about our games and our communities, and we need to bring this emotion to the task at hand, setting aside game labels and working as one community as a whole.

ok... good for u dude my game has only just opened i'm not trying to have a user contest with u.... quality over quantity have u heard of it??? spoopy...
I would like to thank you though you may not know it but that skype screen shot has actually given us the most useful information you have provided to date even if I'm not going to say why.
that's the creepiest thing u have ever said. what kind of person who runs a server and cares about people's information makes such a mischevious comment like that? " hehehe... u dont know it but.. hehe *sips water*... u hav fallen into my trap..... heh...."

Don't argue with the fh mods they'll ban you for 3 years LOL. Too bad VPN servers exist,right?

Uh. Earlier on in the year I was actually pretty active?? I used to get on in Ficho a lot under fandom characters and derp around with some other people there. Then I joined a mapped roleplay, The Great Forest, which I was active in for a while until I fell out of activity due to low rp muse.
So... don't go around saying that I only get on twice a year, because that is not true in the least. I used to get on in TGF very often as the character Nightpaw/Nightstorm in their map.
Secondly, a LOT of people mentioned MR and CS. We were mentioned in many places- YouTube, Tumblr, even on here in some threads. People have directly blamed us and all we want is for the unwarranted blame to stop. I HAVE PMed staff with my information. I PMed Sura.
Also, is there really an issue with making a few posts to update the community with my own information as I found it, although I gave the finer details to Sura? Considering the thread was open for discussion about the situation in the first place??
Honestly all I'm doing at this point is defending myself, CS, and my own website, from being unfairly blamed or unacknowledged save for vague pointing.

I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else, but I am having major issues with logging in. I've gotten Firefox as a browser, and done everything stated, but it just seems to take me a good 10-15 tries before it connects. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm seriously 5 seconds away from telling everyone to shut up and grow up....Are you all THAT dense? Are you all THAT prideful?
Everyone needs to swallow their egos. Both sides. I'm not on either side, I never was, I supported both...but at this point I'm almost prepared to completely quit the IT community because of how uttery PATHETIC this situation has become.
These games were created for fun and creativity; escape from reality and COMMUNITY.
WE ARE MISSING ONE OF THOSE COMPONENTS HERE, PEOPLE!
COMMUNITY DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE and this entire situation is solidifying that.
Is it really that hard for everyone to gather maturity and WORK TOGETHER and try to settle things? Is it really that tough for you people to get over yourselves and try to make the community good again?
What happened to the fun, the friends, the creativity, the bonds we all had?
It's all being destroyed right now.
I will repeat myself from earlier: THIS IS WHAT THE STUPID HACKERS WANTED, YOU FOOLS!
You're playing right into their hands. They WANTED us all to fight and you let them have that.
Great job.
But, why does it matter what I say.
No one ever listens to me, no one ever has. Not in real life, not online. Never in any community have I ever been able to get people to listen to me.
I'm just one of the thousands of IT server players that pass by every day. I'm nothing special. I'm not worth anything to you people. Makes me wonder why I even bother...oh yeah, BECAUSE I CARE. If you guys truly cared, you would stop this, ALL of you.

you know, raging in caps isn't going to help calm this down.

no one listens to me irl, either. I feel ya, bro.. i'm pretty much a nobody, I guess..
-

I never rage in full caps. I only put caps in areas where I want specific emphasis because many times italics or bold are not visible.
-
All those telling people to shut up aren't helping please. People need to be able to talk things out no matter how heated things get. Just be sure to respect each other and the rules in the meantime.
A lot of these conversations are missing the point and going off in weird directions. It's all very petty.
You know Skulleh & Black you guys were actually told several times to keep your reports and conversation on this issue in private message amongst the FH staff only. If you truly wanted to address your concerns over anything including finding out who did what or clearing your community's name you could have simply expressed this with the staff via pm as we did with the prior reports. Of course we couldn't guarantee the information you were requesting since we are investigating things ourselves. It would have made more sense to just keep this all between pm though rather than arguing here publically and actually masking yourselves look bad in the process. I don't see why you guys continued expressing your points publically in the threads just to make a scene. We couldn't disclose that kind of delicate information publically here anyway. It's all very delicate matter to be honest and it's something we all need to approach with caution. You should be able to understand that issues like this don't clear up immediately. This entire incident is deeper than just our little communities. Keep in mind though that our priority as Feral Heart staff is to protect Feral Heart at the end of the day. There is no black & white to this situation but rather a very foggy and uncertain grey that still needs to be sorted.
-
The Problem is.
Like it or not, this game counts as an actual world for some people. Because in the real world they may be rejected by everyone else around them. So to them it's not just a "Game." Would you tell that to someone who spent their in a wheelchair and would get excited when they finally saw a walking simulator that might have been buggy but it was the closest thing to walking they've ever done? Like it or not. I can understand the hate some people may have towards the mods. I'm not saying that all the Mods are bad I'm merely saying that some that are stationed in game will ban you if you make a clear typing mistake and quickly correct yourself. Whether or not this attack was aimed because of their actions or not I'm going to be frank. Unless Feral heart gets better security which one of the Mods told me without Red it's not we're going to lose more people. And certainly if we all keep itching at each other and ganging up on Skulleh who DID provide information. Also Abyssal we're not saying that you don't matter. We've all been wronged by life one way or another but we all have to be strong. This might have not had malicious intent at all it might have just been done by a few bitter people who are hiding behind other well protected games to get people angry. In all honesty I know this is going to sound rather strange but have you guys ever thought about just making a new game off of Feral heart?
If things like this keep happening sooner or later it's going to die. And I hate to be the one that has to say this.
-
Skulleh
I'm not even going to continue arguing your first point people can make up there own mind...
Youtube Tumblr? Those issue could be faced there.
And your post here
http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=54134.msg739721#msg739721 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=54134.msg739721#msg739721)
Does appear to be the first post mentioning moonrise after the hack?
The thread was for informing people and clearing up worries not pointing fingers. But with a site yourself you would know threads don't always follow plan.
And thank you we are great full for the information you provided to Sura I have briefly looked over it but I still have a substantial amount of data of our own which is being processed since security fixes came first.
-

This has been a discussion many times and people have been working on such games, like Isles of Eventide, Aro'kai, and et cetera. Of course, these games all take a good while to complete for the best gaming experience. I am sure many FH members would love a remake of the game, but sadly most of us are not experienced enough with programming, coding, and all the other components of a game to even consider doing so.
-
Clearly I have made a bad impression, and people are picking specific things in my posts to speak of and it's making me look bad.
I apologize for getting as heated as others. I cannot deal with conflict. I have an innate need to try and keep the peace and when I get frustrated, I say things I probably shouldn't.
To Lord, I apologize for saying for people to shut up. I have no excuse other than the fact that conflict toward me or conflict I witness involving people/things I care about bring on anxiety attacks and I just want to help fix things and bring peace, but I guess I screw up.
I want to make it clear to people too that me typing caps is not meant to be raging or childish. I have noticed that italics and bold can be hard to see sometimes, and I only post in caps where I feel emphasis is needed, to make up for the other options sometimes not being very obviously visible.
I said what I said and you guys can all hate me and attack me, jump to conclusions about the type of person I am and why I say/do things...fine. Just know I had the best intentions in mind.
You'd think I'd learn my lesson by now since almost all efforts I make in trying to keep peace in situations causes people to either turn on me or just generally think bad of me and think I'm the immature one...and I'm sorry.
I wanted to try to help and clearly I'm just a problem. I'm sorry..I don't know what else to say except for that..if anyone wants to think poorly of me, go ahead, it obviously doesn't matter.
-
No one should be taking any of this personal. It's all discussion guys. If anyone should be the receiver of hostility it's the hackers who have brought all this tension and confusion in the first place.
-
We're not going to make conclusions about you.
But in all honestly I don't feel like people are looking at the problem from different angles. I still think this was a hate attack brought on by a bad experience with mods. I think we've all been banned for a day or two for misspelling a word that looked slightly like profanity. I'm not saying all the Mods are bad I'm merely saying it makes perfect sense for someone from our community to have had a bad experience with a few that didn't know how to do their jobs and or didn't handle a situation the best way. Heck I had an incident that nearly destroyed a 250 member group because of the way a minimal mod dealt with things. But that's no excuse for us to start snapping at each other like we're dogs. Nor am I giving them the right to do such things. I'm simply saying we have to take that into account.
We are only allowing ourselves to get heated not because the mods brought this onto us but simply because we are the ones that are pointing fingers at each other and making unfair accusations.
-
To be fair, that's what I've been trying to explain to everyone this entire time..it's not about FH, it's not about CS or MR..it's about the hackers. They caused this and I said time and time again that this bickering is what they wanted.
I simply wanted to make peace and bring some sense into everyone who was arguing, but obviously I made things a lot worse, and I am extremely sorry. I brought the wrong impressions, despite my good intentions...and I'm afraid I don't think I can change how members will view me now from this.
I want to sincerely apologize for making the argument much worse...I should have left it be instead of trying to be a peacekeeper....I will accept any punishment that is due to me for adding to the drama..I made some mistakes of my own and everything I intended for completely backfired...
I'm sorry for everything.
It seems any time I do try to fix a situation, I only humiliate myself.
If you guys would like me to leave this community for your own better sake, say so and I will. I never meant harm or trouble.

i hope FH staff doesn't ban abyssal she's cute and trying her best

I'm sorry for everything.
It seems any time I do try to fix a situation, I only humiliate myself.
If you guys would like me to leave this community for your own better sake, say so and I will. I never meant harm or trouble.
No need for exile, dear. I am sure we all want this to end in a peaceful agreement. We are all trying our best to get things cleared up. A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. You were only trying to help, and that is what matters when it comes down to it.
We should all be putting our squabbles aside and get down to the nitty gritty of it, which is solving the hacking issue. We have all been exposed to this heated discussion and I think it has sparked a few short fuses here and there, but what matters is how we go from here. Everyone has said their peace now, and it should be time to discuss important matters of how to solve the case regarding the hackers, not continuing a pointless argument by stating the same issues over again.

You can't get banned for a discussion opinion where their are different views to something. Dosn't work that way. Their is always two sides to a board, one side will see things differently from ya but just keep things in a manner where people can say what they can without overstepping or pointing at a crowd where its more of a he said she said situation. Also saying, if there is a problem that does pertain to what has been happening, its best to just send in your concerns to the staff in a PM and they can handle it.
-
Well if you're looking for suggestions have you ever thought the people who seem to have problems with the Mods from our own community? I don't think anyone really wants to think that someone from the game would cause havoc among the community. But as I stated before. Everyone had a misunderstanding or poorly dealt situation with at least a few mods during their time here. Or perhaps not everyone.....Nevertheless people tend to grow very bitter about things.
-
i hope FH staff doesn't ban abyssal she's cute and trying her best
A ban is only given in the case of a clear violation of a rule(s). She has done none of the sort. Not sure why you'd even suggest that. We staff respect opinions shared so long as users don't over step their boundaries and start breaking rules.
Best to keep the topic relevant please.

are we just gonna gloss over when Raz made fun of my userbase size because that was pretty alarming for an FH admin........
-
I really think we should stop filling up this thread with useless drama. I'm not a staff member or anything so I shouldn't be telling anyone what to do but the thread wasn't made for all this nonsense and we should seriously stop spamming it with this argument. I'm pretty sure Red said something about dropping it here and taking it to a private discussion so I think y'all should listen.

its not a hid it under the rug thing, its just that its something that dosnt need to be pushed forward for further drama.

Thanks for the update Red ^.^ We appreciate it~ Hopefully everyone calms down eventually.

Well, at least the hackers were right about one thing.

Hopefully people who aren't unable to log on now will be able to soon. Hoping we figure out the issues asap. c:

Sorry, I have to post this.
Well I got my laptop from the service, with a new windows. (Windows 7 professional) I didn't asked for it but still. When I click on the game, it opens but in the second it popped up, it stop working and closes itself. I don't know what to do, I tried everything, downloading from torrent, getting it from friends, and it doesn't work.
I have a question.. Does FH work on windows 7 Professional? I need help. I am a FH youtuber, this is what I do..

Oh, don't do that deary!
Ye got the "Keep This Tab Open To Play" on, yes? Make sure that ye close all other tabs on that browser and don't go exploring on that web browser. Windows 7 should still work with FH, Pro or not.
Also, check y'er particle files f'er any copies. Copies will 'ave _0, _01, and so forth at the end of the name. Delete those if ye find any.
When ye redownloaded the game, did ye do a clean install? Meaning, did ye delete all the files related to FH first b'fore redownloading? If not, do this now. When ye don't do a clean install, the old files could still be floating about y'er computer, still causing the issue.

Wait, so the login thing will be their for ever?
For now, yes. The staff isn't sure if they'll be able to find a better way to allow users to log in without the hassle of worrying about the game going through what it did on the 27th, but for now we just have to be patient and bear with it!
-
I am unable to login on that site and when the game was hacked, I was banned due to some silly trolling but anyways not saying im a suspect but I still am confused why it will not let me login with that site but im thinking that it may be cause I might be still banned but im unsure since i was banned a couple weeks ago (about 20 days ago) and when I last checked, I had 10 or less days left and im unsure if the time has been extended or not, but my question is, Is it not letting me login in due to the ban that I might still be in or is it another issue that is going on with that site? :-\ :(

Please refrain from discussing bans on the forums. If you need any help, feel free to PM me or another Staff member regarding that situation and we will get you sorted out.

Hi my name on there is breanna123 and Feral Heart is not working for me and I dont know why could someone tell me why?
-
Have you tried logging in on http://feral-heart.com/login/index.php (http://feral-heart.com/login/index.php) ?
You need to do so in order for it to work. I suggest using firefox.
Keep in mind that you need to wait 30-60 seconds for it to register that you're logged on.
Don't use proxy settings, otherwise you won't be allowed in.
Please do not use this thread as a help thread.
Use the Help board (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=37.0) if you're having more trouble.

This is terribly late but thanks for the update Red. I'm really sorry that this had to happen to you guys. :c
-
Thanks for the info!

Thank you Red, thanks to the staff too!

Thank you all!

Erm, if I may ask...what do you mean, 'stretched out' characters? Like characters that are longer than they are wider and taller?
-
Erm, if I may ask...what do you mean, 'stretched out' characters? Like characters that are longer than they are wider and taller?
By "stretched out characters" they mean characters that have been scaled out of proportion to what normal characters on FH look like. Here's (http://orig08.deviantart.net/d5ec/f/2015/337/8/7/screenshot_11302015_083139802_by_hooliigans-d9ix0un.png) an example.
-
Thank you all so much for working so hard on this!! The hassle of playing is hardly amounting to the effort that the staff is putting into making the game back to normal for all of us. You've no idea how much I missed FH in the days it was down completely, and my friend and I were ecstatic to have it back up and running! The staff here really is under-appreciated, they do so much for us that we can't even realize. Thank you all <3

I actually wasn't here, when this happened, but I'm so happy to hear it's all fixed up and things are still being worked on a little to ensure FH's safety and security.
Thank you staffles. <3
-
I am really glad that this issue is fixed/being fixed, especially with the security. I am one of those people who will not sign up for anything until I know where my information is going. I was pretty confident with this site, and then the attack happened, and scared me a little, especially with the looming threat of "hackers" coming along. then Raz fixed the game (THANK YOU!! :D), and that put me at a little bit of ease. Then Red explains what happened and how he's going to fix it, and I think it's all gonna be okay. So I want to thank the staffys that worked on this again. Without you guys, (a) we wouldn't have had the wonderful game beforehand, (b) we wouldn't have the security we have now, and (c) my information could've been anywhere on the internet. So thank you guys!!!

Now that the game isn't the same (for now at least) I realize how important it was to me. :'( Its so frustrating because it keeps crashing on me and I don't know if its my internet or not but its still frustrating. I'd like to thank the admins/mods for working on this. :) <3

If your game is crashing every time you open it then I don't believe the new log-in is the issue. Try making a separate help thread for your issue, that way it'll get more attention.

Thank you so much for this! It's really kind of the staff to be so on top of things. It stinks that there are people out there who are just out to ruin it for everyone else. ::) Glad that the issue has been addressed, though!
Thank you, dearest staff!

For some reason my game comes up with 'failed to connect to front server' :/ i have the page open, my internet is fine, i uninstalled and re-installed the game as well as restarting my laptop and it still doesn't work? has it got something to do with the page?

Are you minimizing the tab when you play the game?
If so, try opening the game on top of the tab.

Oh gosh, I sure hope the new login system isn't here to stay. I just want to play as usual, But at least they're trying ;I

Thanks a bunch for the hard work mods!

We've not accused you guys of anything, and we're being very clear that just because you guys were mentioned doesn't make it more or less likely you were involved with what took place.
I get what you're trying to do by taking the neutral ground and saying you don't know whether or not we're responsible. But that's a load of horsedonkey because you, as an Admin, have the ability to see IP's and to even check the timing that events occured. You can see that my IP and Skull's IP weren't involved- you can see that we're both very upset about this and were upset with eachother, and uh- oh yeah- We still have ZERO information from you guys about anything. How can you guys still be so unaware of what's going on with your own server yet you have enough evidence to proudly assume that someone has the source code?
I'd just like to state something regarding a certain bit of this post... you say you can't confirm nor deny MR and CS's involvement, but actually, you can.
We both actively helped you by supplying information. We both gave our sides, explained our innocence. There is proof that we were not involved. The hackers themselves have said it, and we have stated it many times and given backup to support us.
Neither CS nor MR was involved in this attack, instead we were targets like you, and you and all the rest of the staff know this. I myself have actively helped you guys by giving a ton of information via PM, and I'm MR's head administrator.
Thanks for completely sweeping us under the rug.
FH is at it again!!!! You can't find more vague and ill-conceived answers anywhere else folks!!

It's running just fine right now, dearie~ All that is asked of users if they could use this website to sign into and connect to Feral-Heart with:
As mentioned earlier in this thread, we have a new system in place to take care of the game and make it more secure. This requires users to open up a new tab on our site, login with their desired account and keep the browser open during the time they play the game. This tab is one of the new security measures, and as much as it might cause more hassle to play the game, we hope that all users understand the importance of having it there. Instructions on how to use it can be found below:
-Either use this link http://feral-heart.com/login/ (http://feral-heart.com/login/) or click "Play Game" in the right side of the site menu.
-Login to the account you wish to play on by providing the correct details.
-Give it a minute to connect and then launch your FH game client and login through there with the same account.
-Keep the tab and browser open during the whole time you play Feral-Heart.

My Feral heart says "Failed to Connect to server" It has said that for 1-2 months, and my internet is fine? Did staff shut Fh down?

No this is not an update!
LOGIN HERE (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=54214.0) and make sure you keep the web page and browser open during the time you play the game.

So that's what happened.... I read that on facebook also but apparently people don't have time/ or can't read comment's cause i couldn't find that comment until scrolled down a lot but I still question these hacker's why the heck they do this??? it's so stupid but any way I hope you can figure it out fully!

Try logging in here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=54214.0)
Make sure you type your password and username correctly, and keep that page open while you play the game.
The login might take about 30-60 seconds so you might want to try refreshing the ingame login untill it actually logs you in.

Hey it's not keeping me logged in. Is there a glitch with it or something? I've lost connection 10 times today and it only keeps me logged in for like 10 mins.

Are you keeping the browser running behind your FH tab? If you're minimizing the tab or switching to a new one it might be logging you out. Try keeping it up if you're not already.

This bloody tab thing is going to freaking kill me. I've counted at least twenty five times, without being able to get into the server. Or once I get into the server, to my characters, and go to get in the map, it'll fail. I've counted now thirty times in a row that it has done this, legitimately. This is seriously getting irritating. I love that you've done so much, but I'm getting really frustrated. When will the tab thing be taken out?

I'm sorry to hear that the game's been giving you some trouble. Have you tried opening the page in a different internet browser and keeping the page minimized while you play? Due to security precautions and stability to the game, the connection page is here to stay for a while, I'm afraid. Until we've found another way that will work just as efficiently as the log-in page, I don't believe it will be going away anytime soon. There are quite a few good threads that give solutions to common issues, and this (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=54268.0) one may give you a better understanding of how the page works.

Thank you so much for replying. I haven't done that yet, I'll give it a go. ^^ I'm sorry about the small rage last night. ;;
UPDATE: I've tried Firefox, Explore, Chrome, again, and I'm still having no luck, whatsoever. This is really redundant. xD
-
UPDATE: I've tried Firefox, Explore, Chrome, again, and I'm still having no luck, whatsoever. This is really redundant. xD
I'm sorry to say hun but considering that hundreds of people ARE able to play the game, this is clearly an issue on your end, not the page or the game.
What, specifically, are you doing?
For example, if I use the page in my Firefox, it will log out after a few minutes because my Firefox is automatically set to not save browsing history; in a way, it's in Private browsing, which erases cookies and other data needed to keep a login open, you know?
When I do it on my Chrome, which is not set to private, it stays fine.
Make sure that cookies and other data is enabled, that history is "kept" in your browser of choice, that will help.
Once you have the page open, do not use that browser for anything else; if you switch tabs and try to use the browser with the page open, it will also not work because the connection needs to stay focused on that. When I used Chrome to work the page, I could use my Firefox to do other stuff like check messages and things.
Also, when you first login to the page, you have to leave it be for about a minute or two (maybe 5 at the worst), then MINIMIZE it so that you don't accidentally touch it, you know? After that, you should be on your desktop since you minimized it, and you can open the game from there.
If it still doesn't work, then I'm not sure what to tell you.
-
Can you guys at least patch the login tab so that it doesn't constantly time out? Because everyone seems to be complaining about it the most. Intact, theres a thread dedicated to that issue. I think once that issue is addressed, I think people will be less frustrated with this new login system.
yes i get supper frustrated with that cuz i cant play like that when i make utube vids
-
UPDATE: I've tried Firefox, Explore, Chrome, again, and I'm still having no luck, whatsoever. This is really redundant. xD
You have to make sure that there are any proxies so please disable any proxy settings you might have enabled. Also do not run the browser in incognito/private browsing mode and have cookies enabled. Opening many tabs at a time will not work, so here how it works for me: I make sure proxies are disabled then log in to the tab. Wait for at least 5 minutes so your game can respond to it, it's better to be patient than rush it. :3 After that, launch Feralheart as administrator and log in. It must work if you followed all these steps and if it doesn't, then there's a problem with your computer or connection as AbyssalRadiance has mentioned.
This is another solution you can try, though I am not sure it has a link. Even if it doesn't we need to try everything we possibly can to help you! :) Close all your programs and restart your computer, this will help your laptop have more memory (as in space to work). Then do the 1st process again.
I hope this works, it's everything I can possibly give you! <3
EDIT: I just realised that you must login with the same account as you did to the game tab, otherwise it won't work. I thought it might be a useful note in case anyone here has more than 1 account or logs in with different accounts.
so does that mean i have to change some of my characters proportions... ??? I Have quite a few ferret characters that are stretched out and shortened for realism, does that count,,???
Are you asking if character sizes affect this situation? Because it actually doesn't, because it is still linked with the game and so there is nothing wrong with it. :)

The stretched out characters in which the staff has found apart of this hack is stretched out characters that go out of proportion to the amount of sizes you can create when making a character. If your characters seem normal compared to the average height/width/length sizes, then it's fine :D

Feral heart is one of my favorite games now its down :( D: i still understand though
-
The game is actually no longer down, lonelywolf1.
Just follow the instructions and you'll be able to play the game again!

Wait, it's back up? As in like, there's no need to do the log in thingy on the site so you can play FH?

The game has been back up and running for a while now. However, you will still need to use the log in page in order to play.

Discussion of bans is not allowed on the game or forum. I'd suggest contacting a trained member of staff to get this sorted out. All the staff can be found here:

Do NOT talk about your ban in a public chat please, it is forbidden as can be viewed in the rules.
Simply PM a Staff member out of your curiosity.

As Shurtle said, do not post about bans. Pm a staff member if you have any remaining questions

Well, I tried to log in, but... It wouldn't connect. In fact, when I tried to log into the browser, nothing happened. Like, NOTHING. My internet is faster than that of a city when the power goes out, so it's nothing to do with that. But, it just simply doesn't work. Like I said NOTHING happens. Please explain how I can fix this.

Questions & Answers (Q&A)
It will not let me connect to the game, why?
If you're experiencing issues it could be how your browser is currently set up. We do not allow any proxies so please disable any proxy settings you might have enabled. Also do not run the browser in incognito/private browsing mode and have cookies enabled. If you still have issues feel free to try another web browser all together. Also do keep in mind that we do not let any banned users connect to the game

Dun worry. You're not being annoying, fluff.
What do you mean when you say you play side by side? Sitting next to each other on different computers, etc?
Also, try substituting Firefox for one of your browsers, and see if that helps.
You may want to consider making a help thread in the help section if you feel its needed.

Where is the update? ;-;

Where is the update? ;-;
There is no actual game update. What has changed is just how ye log in. The Play Game tab is the only new thing here that is being featured. No other updates 'ave come 'bout.

I'm sorry this happened! Hackers just ruin everything, and this is a great idea to slow it down.

will we ever get to use our mods (Like, accessories such as horns, headdresses, collars, markings, etc)

As many users in our community might have noticed there's been quite a few things going on around FeralHeart Game, Server and site. Most commonly referred to as "Feral-Heart being hacked". The hacking itself has been quite unfortunate and forced us to take down the game server while addressing the situation. We're back online now and we've noticed quite a lot of discussions and speculation about this incident so we're hoping that a lot will be explained in this post but we would also like to assure you the players of FeralHeart that there's nothing to worry about. This post is here to sum up and inform.
During Friday 27th last week we had a breach in the game where a group of users tried to cause some havoc for the community by taking control of staff accounts and abusing a limited set of moderation powers, they also altered some characters sizes and proportions. The combination of odd looking characters and usage of staff accounts in a bad manner, managed to get quite the attention from players and staff of the game, so in response we took the game offline. As we're sure that most of our readers understand, it's quite a serious matter to have users accessing accounts which aren't theirs. It's truly something we wanted to look into and deal with. During the last couple of days we've had a lot of speculation going on around the game from players, why, how, who and of course what this will mean for Feral-Heart(which is to be expected), but we've not provided an explanation because we wanted to be sure what we're dealing with, and focus on working it out.
Most importantly your passwords and personal information are safe with us, and these "Hackers" were not able to get a hold of any login information. The "hack" appears to be that some users have gotten hold of the game source code, and probably built a modified game client and/or found a small hole in the game's connection process to cause the events that took place. How exactly they may have obtained such information we don't know. Last we were aware only the game creator KovuLKD had such access and knowledge. While there are rumors of other users having access to the source there is no reliable information to confirm this. If this is the case the game is in a bit of a rough spot for these kind of attacks but we're working on more security measures server side to prevent any similar abuse. For now we're still working out how exactly things are going to work in the future and restricting the users from playing that have been actively involved the "hacking" that took place.
Just to clarify since other games and sites were mentioned by the ones hijacking the staff accounts during the "hacking". This has been a specific attack against Feral-Heart in how it works and no other game or site is more or less vulnerable because Feral-Heart was tinkered with. Nor can we confirm or deny these sites/games involvement, and it doesn't make them more or less likely to have been involved with the "hacking", we'd appreciate it if you users understand this. We'd also like to inform users not to use any stretched out characters found of their account in the game as we will start kicking/banning users found using these characters.
Finally we want to thank a lot of you fluffs for being patient with us in this matter and hanging in there while the situation has been looked into, but also supporting staff in while we had our paws busy with everything else. Your support always means a great deal. And of course a big thanks to Raz for his quick work to sort out the game so we can play it again so quickly.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, we have a new system in place to take care of the game and make it more secure. This requires users to open up a new tab on our site, login with their desired account and keep the browser open during the time they play the game. This tab is one of the new security measures, and as much as it might cause more hassle to play the game, we hope that all users understand the importance of having it there. Instructions on how to use it can be found below:
-Either use this link http://feral-heart.com/login/ (http://feral-heart.com/login/) or click "Play Game" in the right side of the site menu.
-Login to the account you wish to play on by providing the correct details.
-Give it a minute to connect and then launch your FH game client and login through there with the same account.
-Keep the tab and browser open during the whole time you play Feral-Heart.
Questions & Answers (Q&A)
Will the login tab stay forever or will we be able to login normally again sometime?
As of now, this tab is here to stay. We understand it might not be optimal for some users and might cause some hassle, but it's for the better.
Will I be able to sign in to multiple accounts at once?
You are able to sign into several accounts at once, however you might need to use different browsers to connect to more than one account at once. Download Firefox, Chrome, Opera or any other browser of your choice and run it in tandem.

Don't worry, dear. The game is fully up and running. All you have to do is go to this (http://feral-heart.com/login/index.php) page and keep it open while you play.

ever since this happened feral heart wont load onto my pc and im not able to get on it says unable to connect to front server how do I fix this?

Try this link, fluff. Keep the page open while you are playing the game ^^

I've been reading the posts on this thread for quite some time, including that hostility from the final days of November which may have resulted in slaps in the face, and yes I have been reading... regardless of the ordeal of seeing these quote "Free Minecraft Downloads" trying to remind me that my shards of faith in the human race are being shattered.
But for starters congrats to the mods and admins(Especially Red) for trying to keep this under control, and I don't mean that sarcastically. Secondly even if it was months ago these death threats against these fellow indie animal games are big no-nos, that and the fact death threats are illegal, trust me one kid from the UK was barred from entering the United States for life after sending a quote "curse-laden email to Obama."
Now, these hackers. I'll admit I looked through their Tumblr blog, possibly taken down by the Tumblr Administration as of now but maybe not since FH is not well known much like WoW or GW2. Anyways after looking through I believe their motive is they're distraught over the mods and admins quote "tyrant" ruling over FH and believed the mods drove Kovu away from the game he created. What's next? Death/Rape threats against Kovu on his Facebook account if he doesn't return to FH? That's very immature and could result in loss of your account.
Kovu is I'll admit, a secretive person, maybe an family issue caught his attention and quote "abandoned" his game. An attempted suicide? Financial issues? We may never know. Now you know of my past here on FH, right? Well I do my best to keep it behind right in the past, but back to the game itself!
For those having issues with the games, please take it to the Help section. OR check on the top of the page, click Raz's link to a page, put in your username and password, and you will be allowed into the server, oh and keep that tab OPEN!

Please f'er all our techs' sakes, take y'er issues regarding log in troubles to the help boards. 'Tis very hard to sift through comments to keep track of a single conversation, especially when it can be placed in its own thread f'er easier access.

Your username is 18 characters long, Christal. If a username exceeds the 16 character limit, you will not be able to connect in-game. You will have to wait until Registration opens in order to create a new account under a shorter name.
-
When ever I log in either everyone is in the Cave leading from the starting zone to the plains area or there is no one there at all.??
-
The Lonely Cave always shows as empty.
Ficho, Bonfire, Fluorite Plains etc are the most popular public maps
The amount of people in the maps will differ depending on the time and timezone.
If you have any questions or need any help, please make a help thread as it's easier for people to spot the fact you're looking for answers.

Use the login link here as you play the game:
http://feral-heart.com/login/ (http://feral-heart.com/login/)
Log in here, and keep the tab open as you run Feralheart.
EDIT: Apparently there was an extra page on this thread that I failed to see.

Thank you. I thought it was a server shut down. This helped a bunch!!
THIS DOES WORK!

Im still not able to log in!

Im still not able to log in!
Make sure you try using different browsers(Mozilla,Chrome,Internet Explorer).
Login here: http://feral-heart.com/login/ (http://feral-heart.com/login/) and make sure you keep this tab open while you play the game. You must have opened both tab and the game.
If your username is more than 16 characters your login won't work.
Give it a few minutes after you login in the browser you're using and then try logging in to the game, making sure both browser and game tabs are opened as I said earlier. If you still have issues with the login make your own thread in Help->Game help so more people can see it and help you out. c:

*crawls out of cave* SCREEFH *is blinded by sudden light*
Gonna be super late in saying this, since I wasn't around when this happened BUUUUUT. THANK YA'LL.
You guys have worked super duper hard on this game for so long to keep it running and friendly, so to just see it getting...I mean I guess it was hacked...gah I hate that word though. But seeing it get hacked breaks my heart. I always saw FH as like...the Great Wall of rpgs. Like NOTHING could get past it. But I guess the wall has to end somewhere, like in the ocean. So maybe we have a small hole thingy? Either way, I am so grateful for this oldie staffies who keep on pushing through even when times get dire! I don't know what we're gonna do when ya'll get OLD. o.o...so old. You should have the next gen level of your offspring take over. It'll be like a heirloom lol. But once again, thank ya'll so much for everything you do, and for how fast you can get something fixed. o.o like....dern you guys know what you're doin.

Hey, uh, not sure if this should go here but, the server is not working. I keep getting on fluorite (Sorry for spelling) and there is no one there. When I try getting to any other map it logs me off or disconnects me. I'm not sure if this is just my game or the server went down.

It could be a bad internet connection because the server is currently online on my end. Maybe you should try going to less crowded maps for the lag might slow it down to where the game would stop working at the time.
Also, if you need any further help, try making your own help thread so that way people can see the post much easier ^^''
Final Thing: When you log into the login tab, make sure you have the browser and that page opened the entire time. Don't minimize it.

I don't mean to be unappreciative of the security updates and the hard work that FH staff put into keeping the game alive after so many years, but if you can go through the trouble to install a Login page that works directly with the game's .exe file, why not just remove it and encrypt the databases themselves? It would cost less hassle, and there'd actually be more members online.

Some things are easier said then done. At least the staff could do what they can since the creator left and with that, the source code as well for the game, Raz especially. All we can do is be lenient as well being patient while the issue continues to be worked out little by little. The whole situation is probably a bit of a hassle and although some methods don't work for some at least it works for the rest that do enjoy the game. ~
Not really sure if this belongs in a thread or not , but if you any other concerns about how the game is run, then you're welcomed to send a PM to one of the staff members , I'm sure they can shed some light to the situation better than I can.
