I downloaded the client(linux amd64) today and I don't get the same hash as the homepage is showing

Homepage:
SHA256 (AMD64): 7c9a925b2652eeb2314b29789c809de338b4daf061c671813f63a43dd06d2519

My hash:
SHA256 (AMD64): c8380b1967a0f55827e209b85b58a4a898f1d92eb3e036b17279583cda522149

Installer Source: http://mirror.cle.vendetta-online.com

I, too, have sometimes wanted to ask what the devs are smoking.

They updated the installer fairly recently, and it sounds like they didn't update the website to reflect this. I re-downloaded the installer when they did this and I have the following:

SHA256 (AMD64): c8380b1967a0f55827e209b85b58a4a898f1d92eb3e036b17279583cda522149

EDIT:
It looks like the hash was silently updated.

good one, Lecter.

Hi, yes, I updated this after Feanor submitted a support ticket bringing the issue to my attention. I usually remember to update the hash, but apparently this one slipped past. Either that or there was some kind of revision-control issue and someone stepped on some website changes, I don't know. It is fixed now.

I did confirm the check all the way from our external distro mirrors, through the internal distribution servers, to the very-internal primary build server used to originally construct the installer, and all hashes and file dates agreed. Although it's nearly impossible to be absolutely certain, I am not concerned about a compromise in this case. Sorry for any panic.
