--- ATTENTION LIGHTS HOPE PLAYERS ---

YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION ON LIGHTSHOPE IS BEING SOLD AND YOUR DATA IS COMPROMISED BY THE OWNERS OF LIGHTSHOPE! EVIDENCE BELOW:

Light's Hope database and user/account information is being sold with the intention to shut down the server once the administration has made enough money from the Northdale fresh launch. Gold is currently sold for up to 30 USD / 100g to gold sellers who re-sell the gold for 40-60 USD / 100g.

We were approached by the owner Whitekidney and given access to a part of the database to verify the value. He made a critical mistake and we managed to easily get additional access to other databases. The security of the server is very bad and all user information not protected, simple sql users can access all other databases, we never saw anything as bad as this on other private servers.

We found damning forum messages within the database, which you can search for yourself. Whitekidney wanted to give up on the server months ago https://imgur.com/LX3jBtQ but changed his mind once he got offers of gold sellers. The fresh realm was the best way to get immense amounts of money in a small amount of time before Classic wow.

We collected over the last weeks plenty of information about the server team members by using a gm account, nobody seems to be checking the logs because this account kept working. We know all high ranked members and their personal information, however many of them didn't knew what is happening. We are sure these people don't want to be associated with an administrator that sells gold, accounts, and items, for thousands of euros. We are giving these team members a chance to leave the server and they have our word that their information will be kept private if they never support this project again.

We uploaded the entire forum database as proof, this way the administation can't make up excuses and deny everything as they did when Sunwell noticed that Light's Hope account db leaked the first time. You can download the forum database here: https://mega.nz/#!7OBzCSDL!HJevLXdebtCx8VKtYh_gTccWTu9nmg3bBopnxgk3tbs

Former team members noticed this corruption and left shortly after the server started, you can find Vealnors (Lead GM) post on the Nostalrius forums https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=45691 posted shortly after the opening of Light's Hope when the co-admin Tekkaz sold characters, and unbans.

Your account information IS NOT SAFE on Lightshope. We hoped that team had learned from the past, but we see WhiteKidney trying to sell his database once again, and we have to take action. He is destroying this community.

To protect the integrity of your personal information including your location, IP, account name, email address, and passwords used - you should report this sale of your private data to the following:

Finally, MANY of the WoW Vanilla client hacks that are used these days are STILL WORKING OPENLY on Lightshope. The team seems to have taken no action against these people teleport hacking for levels or speed/fly hacking.
