Hey Craven,
I noticed you post pretty frequently on the BBS! Hehe :-) Have you had a chance to check out any of the strange rumors players post on there? I'm thinking about checking one out, this one in particular:

Subject: Don't let him in
Username: Solitary_Falcon_on_The_Wind
I was a few feet away from the clearance box when I died. Didn't even get the dungeon clearance reward. A Gott Statue stood behind the chest, as you'd expect, but maybe because the dungeon was modeled after a temple, the Statue wasn't the usual image of Folset with his fists bumped together. I couldn't tell which god the statue represented, to be honest.
Either way, I'm there trying to collect my loot, but when I tried to kick open the chest, instead of a popup with my due rewards, I get a prompt to create a party. There was no one else in that room. I click no, thinking it's a malfunction and kick the chest a second time. Again that party request pops up. I clicked yes this time out of curiosity and the next thing I know, I'm sprawled on the floor looking up at the ceiling. There's a bleed status blinking at me on the UI. I admit I only had a shred of hp left at the time. Who needs to heal when you're about to beat the dungeon?
Anyways, my character slowly dies facing up and I noticed the statue's eyes for some reason; they were facing down, as if looking at me. I rage quit the game. It's pretty frustrating to get killed by a bug just as you're about to finish a hard dungeon. Can you believe I get another party request as soon as I log back into the Root Town? I accepted so I could curse at the prick through the party chat. But then I was shocked to find that my character had bleed again--and poison! In town! Damned hacker! I relog after leaving the party and thankfully the bleed is gone, but I get another party request immediately. Like hell I'm partying with that guy again.
Although now that I think back on it, I don't think the party request ever had a sender's name on it.

Reading through responses on the post, it seems most people did not manage to experience the same thing because they were ill prepared for the length and traps within this particular dungeon. That's so unfortunate for them! :'-D
Anyway! The keywords are posted later in the responses and guess what! It's a delta dungeon for my delta dwelling new acquaintance! Wanna go with me? It might take awhile so I understand if you're busy. The OP seems to think a hacker is behind this. I'm not so sure I believe that. If so though, it's a good idea to try and get a screenshot of them if possible and report them to the right channels so they stop harassing low level players. :-)
Let me know what you think.
