Title: Aquaria phones home?
Post by: derBene on January 01, 2008, 09:53:35 pm: My Aquaria version wanted to send an ICMP-message to 81.173.155.214. Why?

Post by: Alec on January 01, 2008, 10:03:54 pm: No, it doesn't phone anything.

I guess NetCologne GmbH is your provider derBene?

Not really. I have a local provider and I don't live near cologne.

Still got no idea what that was. I would be really suprised if something had kind of pirated my version of Aquaria. That also isn't patched (v1.0.01).
