I've finally gotten permission from Michael (Mercury) make this announcement in order to address the rumors that have been circulating about Glider. Hopefully this will clear things up.
About "Underground Glider"
There is absolutely no
official underground Glider. This is just a rumor. Due to the pending lawsuit it would be very, very stupid to run a video game automation program under the table. However, rumor has it that a
cracked Underground application of the latest-release of Glider "might" exist.
I cannot officially acknowledge its existence due to the lawsuit. If one were to want to acquire this underground version of Glider, I would suggest emailing "
[email protected]" and the hypothetical Underground Glider developers might send you a free copy of Underground Glider + an activation key hash. Glider hypothetically lives on!
Glider's Future - NEW PRODUCT
I've been receiving a lot of questions about what has been going on "behind the scenes". As I'm sure you've noticed, the Glider developers, Mercury and Hamut, haven't been very active on the website. This is because
they've been working on a secret project.
This project has gone through many names, as Mercury isn't very good at naming things. Some people call it "KakiT", while others simply refer to it as "CheatBot 2000". Other absurd names have been circulating.. but here comes the big announcement.
The new product will be named "Glider". I'm the one who actually convinced Mike to use this name, as we will be able to piggyback off of MDY's past success and widely-known brand.
The new Glider product will be video-game related so we've decided to keep the domain name "mmoglider.com" in order to monetize off of our already-established website traffic. Unfortunately, for the changeover / rebranding,
MDY will be shutting down the website for at least a month. Everyone's website forum accounts will still exist, but sadly we will need to erase the thread/post database tables in order to start fresh with a clean slate. Forum reputation points will still remain - so no worries there!
So, what is the new product? MMO Glider, instead of being an automation program, will be a fully automated cheater-catching machine.. much more superior to our competitors such as Punk Buster, Blizzard's Warden, etc. I know this might be surprising to some of you, but MDY believes that this is the best direction to go in. Cheaters really won't have a fighting chance.. we expect that the new Glider will fully eliminate in-game cheating/botting for good.
"Cheating" in video games is an outdated trend. MDY has already established contracts with some of the biggest companies in the industry (legally cannot say which ones for at least a few months due to contract) - Glider anti-cheat software will be deployed with some big-name computer games as early as late 2010. We will not be working with Activision Blizzard Inc. so continued operation of the hypothetical non-existent Underground Glider will be allowed to continue.
This is a huge change.. an entire shift from what MDY Industries has been known for in the past. Please don't be too angry with MDY Industries.. MDY really has no choice.
Due to the lawsuit it now just comes down to dollars and cents; MDY Industries needs the money and this change in direction is going to provide it. With money already pouring in from the video game companies, MDY can continue the fight against Blizzard Entertainment / Vevendi and hopefully win the appeal lawsuit.
More announcements regarding the new product / website downtime will be posted in the near future. Please keep all conversation regarding these upcoming changes in the
official discussion thread.
