One of the most beautiful forums have been hacked this night : The one of the game called Zanzarah.

I received the message from a moderator there today, and I was kind of hocked, partly because I've witnessed it in the night without knowing so.

Personally, I love Zanzarah because of its unreached athmosphere and mood. I have never seen a game matching this. However, some people don't like managing the fairies within the game, but I'll leave this up to everyone's taste.

I'm kind of shocked that there is much cynism needed to hack such a beautiful Forum without reason (if the hacker wanted simply to "show" recurity risks of the forum, the he must soon be aware that it's *very* old and can't be revived so easily). Another interpretation could be a thought like "who needs Pokémon-like games ? into the shredder with that !" It certainly needs a *lot* of cynism and hatred to destroy such a Forum, especially since there had never been heavy discussions like here. Or maybe someone wanted to "express" his or her frustration about the fact that Funatics cooperated with Blue Byte in making the Seddlers 5 (die Siedler) - which doesn't look at all like its precessors !

The Zanzarah Forum won't be online for the next time; it's very old and not easy to revive again.

I'm sending this message out, because this hack is making me kind of sick. Hope that they get it running one day again.

I remember reading about this game. The review was pretty good, accepting that it was a Pokemon style game.

Another reason to make regular backups...

We (my husband) have the back up from the forum.
All threads are still there. Nothing is lost. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It is planned that the forum becomes a new update.

We will be back soon (I hope) ) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

The graphicss look good. What kind of game is it? And congrats to the site on overcoming adversity.


The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

@modgoopgina: I'm glad you did not lose anything. I spent wonderful weeks with this beautiful game and used your forum very often when I was stuck. Actually, the reason for keeping my old Win 98SE PC (with the old drivers) was to keep on playing Zanzarah, cause my new one doesn't like it (Win XP and drivers are new)

Kiya I played Zanzarah in my new pc with WXP home edition and fresh new drivers from NVIDIA for my graphics card Geforce 2 and it run smoothly. No crashes at all. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I am glad that the forum of Zanzarah will be up again and I am sorry that such things happen. I was never a member but I had lots of fun with the game and I loved all my fairies so much!! I found that the music is simply astonishing.
Good luck to the moderators <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Lews it is a bit expensive. I could find it for lower price here. Just give me some time to check one shop I have in mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Strange, hm? I tried a lot - but I always get a black screen. Doesn't matter, I can play it on my old one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
