Just like any other long-running online game, HoboWars has an extensive game history.

Unless otherwise noted, all dates are according to HoboTime (GMT +10).

Updates that are struck out were either changed, overwritten, or removed by another update later on.

HoboWars

The one that started it all.

Events

  • August 2005
    • 8/10/05: Albert Nguyen (a.k.a. meek) created the first piece of in-game artwork for HoboWars, which was the old header image for the Battle! page. It was added to the game on the same day it was created.

2006

Updates

  • March 2006
    • Major
      • 3/??/06: The option to create a new gang for 500 points at Gangs Alley was removed.
    • Minor
      • None

Events

  • December 2006
    • 12/4/06: The HoboWars servers crashed and went down for three days, preventing anyone from accessing the game. When the servers were fixed and brought back online on December 7, 2006, everyone started from a restore point made 24 hours prior to the crash. Anything acquired during the 24 hour period after the backup was made (such as money, tokens, points, stats, SGHM purchases) vanished, and the Message Boards were wiped clean and the contents of the Help Wiki were erased. Additionally, any new players who signed up during that 24 hour period lost their accounts and had to create new ones in order to play. This event became known as Black Wednesday.
  • ????? 2006

2007

Updates

  • September 2007
    • Major
      • 9/07/07: Stat graphs were added, allowing players to track the rate of growth of their stats over a period of, at most, 30 days.
    • Minor
      • None

Events

  • January 2007
    • 1/??/07: Ed and Oli hit the game with a phishing scam that compromised many HoboWars accounts, especially those of newer players. They spread around a rumor that there was there was a new HoboWars server, and provided links to a website that mirrored the HoboWars login page. Whenever someone attempted to login through that fake page, they would get a notice that the new server wasn't up yet, and their username and password got stored in a database that Ed and Oli used to gain access into other players' accounts.
  • February 2007
    • 2/24/07: Ed and Oli used malicious Javascript seeded into HoboMail messages to snatch the address bar off of any player who viewed their jumbled mail messages, and used that information to compromise various players' accounts. Although the message boards were protected from Javascript attacks, the HoboMail message system was not, and, therefore, even the accounts of older players and staff members became compromised. Fortunately, the HoboMail message system is now protected against such Javascript attacks.
  • August 2007
    • 8/06/07: The HoboWars staff began to crackdown on abusers of the Mass Money Creation glitch (a.k.a. the "mmkk" glitch). Around 25+ players were jailed for exploiting Piggy Bank withdrawal abbreviations such as "k" for thousand and "m" for million. Whenever a player withdrew, for example, "10kkmm" dollars from their Piggy Bank, they would withdraw 2.1 billion dollars, even if they did not actually have that much money in their Piggy Bank. To make matters worse, the fabricated money was randomly sent around to players, making it a nightmare for game staff to track down the sources of the fabricated money.
  • December 2007
