The problem people have with HackShield is that it's a seperate program and not built into the game like most AAA MMOs. What it basically does is open a port for the game and monitors everything and anything using that door, to stop bots, hacks, etc.
The only real problem is this can be used by hackers as a back door while you're playing, if they do something that HackShield doesn't deem wrong, but it usually doesn't matter. Since the hacker needs to know the port, and it's only open as long as HackShield is open. This works on any game that has even built in software as well. The only way to be 100% hack proof is to not be online in the first place...
true but that is any software you sue who have internet access, and from what I know game guard, hack shiel all these things are useless, I know I can disable the game guard from even launching with 3 spaces and 4 "/" in they config file, the damn thing don't even load, the game load pretty fine and there is no way for the server know.
also if these programs was any good we wouldn't have hacks around, I guess its can be like better then nothing, but from experience and knowledge they are more like a thing to say they care on stoping hacks and such, I guess they can stop the complete retarteds who tries to use bots or other hacks in game, but anyone who can read a walkthought its pretty useless
They can't even implement their own security and have to use 3rd Party Trojan software. HackShield is one of the worst and i would not install it on my system unless i want multiple back doors opened.

Glad i got a free BETA to find out.
100% wrong.
Hackshield does not open any backdoors, nor is it a Trojan.
At least the one that comes with ArcheAge is not, I've tested it extensively in Korean and English veraions.
Sorry OP to be so blunt, but your post is 100% lies.
I love how this kid go around the forum starting his post with...
100% Wrong.
I believe versions doesn't write as veraions, so your post is 100% wrong.
Everyone knows for as long as anti-virus(trojan and what not) been around, it always had it's share of mistake. Lot of things are marked as virus or trojan when they aren't.
It's also well known that hackshield always caused start up problems, updating problems, gameplay problems and so on, almost every game communities are fighting against it to not have it in their game. Every game i have seen hackshield in, people hate it and it never stopped hackers (cheaters).
I for one, never had any issues with hackshield, not with ArcheAge or any other game.
And seriously, if game compagnies would want your credit card information, i don't think they would need any third party for it such as hackshield, seeying as most of their subs are paying with their cc.... eh.
Funny, I have been testing this game for Several months and NO issues. Can't imagine a Company that has had their game out for what 2years now, willfully using product that would cause issues on the scale the OP is speaking about. Another Thread to shake my head about
Problem here is that hackshield, gameguard etc etc are very popular among korean game developers because these companies invest shit load of money in game development, these companies endorse game developers new old alike. so i assume xlgames was endorsed by gameguard and thus they are now forced to use gameguard just to enforse them back. nothing trion can do about it. the bigger problem is trion is using their own backend protection program on server which eventually creates additional latency and not to mention jitter(which is worse).
Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.
AA is definitely a game worth playing if you haven't. I would recommend it despite my own personal issues with the direction the game has gone since early beta.
However, I fear for this game come release.
It is going to get swallowed whole by hacks and bots.
