/me pokes a1k0n to make the server record money transfers as they happen instead of relying on the clients to record them...

Huh?
The server (or the sectors rather) does keep track of the money.
If you're talking about the negative money giving bug, I think that's been fixed.

Wasn't that the one that when a1k0n gave himself -1 he got 4.2blahblah billion?

no, the "double your money" bug hasn't been fixed, I sent a bug report

Well, he's still running around giving random people 20+mil and is placing bounties on people's heads, I suggested that he just pool all of the money on a single char and delete it, but he apparently would rather cause another reset instead. Some discipline should probably be taken..:-\

Camps: I believe the money has been taken care of for you.

Alright, thanks.


/me goes to file a huge, long bug report.

you will want to take that off and send a bug report so the all know.


zam.

/me dies laughing at zamzk

I hope you didn't try that.

OK, FM, I'll throw all the money on a char and delete... or should I give it to a guide?

Here's a guide for how the money bug works:

1) Log in
2) Give all your money to someone
3} Type /explode 5 times in a row, in a special ship of some sort, preferably a valk.
4) Log off
5) Log back in

And you'll have your money doubled!

Yeah.... until capping is taken out, there shouldn't be a reset.

Also, to help spend these illegal credits, I'll give a million to red or gold character that asks-promise.

Let me make this clear: We know it works. We also know who is exploiting it and how. The exploit is at the expense of others due to the way it is triggered. It will stop, or the exploiters (one of them a long-time player) will face the consequences.

If I may make a suggestion. Rather than banning those people who are exploiting the money bug, reset THEIR accounts to 0. All of them however many they may have. I realize this may well require going back through logs to find out all the IP's and all of their accounts that they have and is a PIA to do but IMHO, resetting the specific players to 0 hurts em MORE than banning them.

Money bug be back. And worse, it's more annoying. I think I know how to do it, but I won't post it here. Do you devs know about this? Because this means we need another reset before 3.4, which is a slight annoyance to a fair trader like myself.

dunno how to do it but I did hear somebody say they did it. So I presume its back. I hated the money bug, hate it now too.

It's only accessible when the server crashes. But when it crashes, you can double your money easily. No, I haven't done it. But I know how, because I accidentally got 10k the first time I was in a server crash doing business.

Ex:
during a war, I died again and again in the same sector (I was homed there)
sector crashes
all the money I spent replenishing myself with ships came back

Woohoo! I'm up for another reset. It'll make up for those easy flag captures Itani Nation made right after the last reset.

I'm up for a reset, but not until capping is out, missions are in and we have at least a very rudimenatry faction system. A reset now would yield 2 minutes of real play then back to status quo. One cap is worth a lot when everybody is broke...

no I did not, I did not want to get in trabile.
