Official Forums | Battlegrounds Exploit

[DevTracker]

This weekend an exploit was found on the Battlegrounds server which allowed players to transmute items, and have those items returned when leaving the Battlegrounds.  This occured due to a change we made in the code to speed up the return process.  While we understand that this was a bug of our creation, some players chose to take advantage of it, knowing it was not meant to work in that fashion. Many players took advantage of the bug, to varying degrees.  Some of our community however went to great lengths to abuse the bug.  For those accounts that abused this obvious bug, we have taken action.  Some have been removed from the game altogether, while others are losing all of the items on their characters.  All will face at least some time removed from the game as we sort through the various logs and track down their ill-gained platinum and items. While we hate to remove anyone from our community, our family, there are times that for the good of the servers, the in-game economy and the community we do find ourselves forced to take action.  Unfortunately, this was one such occasion.Thanks all for being a part of Norrath.

Brenlo 說關於使用 bug 在 BG Server 和一般 Server 間來回複製道具者將會被清查以及處理，可能要有短期或長期 (?) 被 ban 的心理準備。

此次的事件主因是為了提升切換 Server 的效率而寫的 code 導致切換前後物品不會消失，因此可以透過在 BG 間切換來複製道具，包含法術書、錢、礦石、蒐集品等。
