Cheat at Monster Hunter 3, get banned until 9999 AD

Even long after Bruce Willis has saved the universe, identified cheaters will still be unable to play Monster Hunter 3. At least that's the case for one Japanese player, who tried to connect online and was given a dismissive prompt (in Japanese; machine translation here), indicating that he'd been banned until December 12, 9999.

The message cited "modded data" as the cause for the banning, and while we can't confirm that there was any questionable data on the system, we will say that if you're looking to hunt monsters (possibly around early 2010), you may want to avoid the uber hax!!1! option. We'd hate for you to have to go on living a lootless life for the next couple thousand years.

Just wanted to share this with you.I like when cheaters get it tough, they ruin games for everyone else online (i.e The Conduit).

HAHAHAHA

Wow, a ban that is nearly eight thousand years. That is longer than the history of civilization =P

hahahahahaha!

thats one hell of a ban.

I think that's the funniest news I've heard all day.

oh dear

IDK why but a ban to year 9999 just sounds more meanancing than an lifetime/permanent ban XD

Wow...that is classic. From the Producers of The Day After Tomorrow...comes the heart chilling story of a boy who was banned until 9999, cryogenically frozen...then awoke the day after the ban ended....this is "The Day After the Ban"

Good they should do that for anyone that cheats in online games. A lifetime ban.

Still not long enough for me.
