I think I found the same code you're talking about but my knowledge of C is at about the 1st grade level ("yup, that's an IF statement"). The last major programming I ever did was in COBOL. I got the code to compile at least, but it still didn't work. Pouring over the code gave me a headache and I really don't know where to begin. I guess the first step is trying to understand the process (and learning C a whole bunch better than I currently do) and then take it from there.
There are too many bad apples out there destroying things for people. I didn't even think of the hacking aspect of the login server. That brings me back to the days of Diablo online and people with cheat programs going around killing people because they found it funny. It didn't take me long to quit that. Every online game I think I've tried has had that same "can't play it right and have fun so I'll cheat and ruin the game for everyone else" mentality. I doubt any company will ever be able to control/counter that.
