[protagonist]

Based on intuition (his sig?), I wouldn't really be inclined to think this guy is a hacker. I'd check it out if I were still a PWA. That having been said, you [the poster] would do well to try and contact the owner of the server.

Judging by this Shadowblaze character, it looks like he would jump the gun if he would not take note of the possibility of friends helping this individual level up. In addition, I doubt that Maloria's scripts are so poorly constructed that items could literally be "hacked", especially with Graal's hacking community being so faded (I think all the skilled hackers left).
