Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!
Join our community @ https://discord.gg/JuaSzXBZrk for a pick-up game, or just to rekindle with fellow community members.

Any online game regardless of the ability to mod it or not is hackable at some level. You cannot ensure the client isn't in someway modifying the data it sends to the server. The only thing you can do is make it harder to hack.
Taking the modding facilities out of a game makes it harder, but at the expense of a huge trade off.
There is only 1 way to ensure a game is unhackable, and thats using the "dumb terminal" principal. If clients were nothing more than displays and input terminals, sending the key / mouse presses to the server and recieving diplay information from the server. Once the bandwidth to do that is possible, and nothing is processed client side, then games will be secure.
