yup, I have to log in to see the ranking. Guests can't see it ;)

What about "one page" it could take a lot of time to display all players on the one page. My suggestion is divide ranking into parts. You can see TOP50, to see TOP50-100 you have to click next, to see TOP100-150 next again, and again.
It'll be fast and kind of comfortable ;)
And what's more important it's really easy and not hardworking to put that feature into ranking (3-5 lines of code ;p)

Ranking is a kind of stuff which puts some rivalry/competition into the game. We could be proud of our place, or feel the shame... whatever.
But, tell me why the ranking is only available for logged players? Why not logged users can't see it?

Moreover, why we can't see the whole ranking but just the part of it?

My sugesstion: make a ranking visible for everyone and make it visible at all (i think i can help which code that if you haven't got time ;) )

i though about trojan horse.
but really have no idea how that kind of malware could be used ;)
maybe it should show us fake runnin' processes?

Encryptor which special/different 'key' for each virii. To disinfect mutated virii you would have to create mutated AV.
It means inf number of virii and inf number of AV.

if we're talking about PMs I think that the most important thing I need is outbox.
Why on the hell we cannot see PMs which we sent?

I’ve got a few ideas about new kind of malware:

Rootkit – it can hide processes. Only the owner of the process can see it. The owner of the server which rootkit has to install Rootkit AV to disinfect his server and see hidden processes.

Fork bomb – if someone installed fork bomb on your server you wouldn’t get access to your HD. The solution to remove it is change your IP. Higher version of fork bomb means faster installation.

Stealware – if you had installed stealware and you solved the mission, all HPDs and ability points from that mission would be transferred to the owner of stealware.

Keylogger – this kind of malware would send all IP of your connection to the owner of keylogger.

Zombie bot – if you installed it on the server of your enemy, you could use 10% power (CPU, memory and bandwidth) of his server.

Polymorphic generator – if you had any kind of malware, you could use polymorphic generator to change/mutate that malware. Any use of the polymorphic generator would create different (modified) malware. To “treat” that malware (remove polymorphic code) you would have to use Polymorphic AV generator. It would generate special AV (only for that malware) which would remove it from your server.

Backdoor – even if you changed your IP or your password the owner of the backdoor would always have you in the IPDatabase.
