What bothers me in this hole war affair with hackers vs Devs and so-on is that the good guy, hard working building his charactor who might be ignorant of what "evil if you like to call it that" has been happing around him for the sake of having a fun time playing a game solo or with buddies.  The only ones here who suffer are those who just play the game for the game.  Hackers and Devs will continue there see-saw battle without respect to the REAL players. 

I don't dissagree that hackers shouldn't find weaknesses within the scrips.  I don't dissagree with the Devs fixing those bugs....

BUT for god sakes leave us out of it as best as you can.  I think I speak for many who are tired of playing a game and can't enjoy a unique world with alot of potential to be great. 

I was reassuring other gamers at the time that this wipe wasn't as bad as it sounds.  Today I read these post and I question my decision.  I have played on and off for over 2 years I believe my memory serves me right.  I gave the game a break for many months hoping they would improve on it which they did.  I come back 3 days ago and all is an impressive work done on by the DEVs thanks.  I made new friends and was quite lucky to find on my second day trias lying around.  I didn't know about a bug or exploit with duplicating then.  From what was shouted out was a GM dropping goods at that time.  I don't know if its true or false but I thought it was part of the game.  So I shared my new found cash with other players.  But today being the 4th day I thank the Hackers for it. 

What scared me was that most of the players and friends I started to know were only 2 week players.  I hadn't found any old players.  Maybe they changed characters... or they just left out of fustration.  Point is If you wipe my character you have kill who I was in this world.  Yes its just a game.  I will live on.  I will live on without Planeshift too.  I don't waist my time because I have to suffer for those few who are responsible.  The cool thing about this is I'm not alone.  Plainshift has such a high turnaround that only hardcore fans would stay and play such a game even if it is free.

I've played Merdian 59, Everquest and even Warcraft online all have similar problems but what they don't do is scrap players characters at least when I was on it...

Anyhow I sure you don't care what I say anyways. For every one of me theres 10 suckers ready to play..  But if you do give a damb.... Instead of hacker vs DEV's why not work together.  How about a hacker guild that sole purpose is finding bugs.  Have the devs fix them but let the hackers exist to face these battles.  So they have 10 billion Trias or 1000 silver weaved weapons.  Its only good for the hackers groups would honour the regular players and not spoil the game. 

Example Matrix movie.  Neo couldn't free all the humans all at once why?  Most were not ready to accept change. Many like there're ficticious world as is. So DEV being the MEN in black have to keep justice and hackers being the resistance....  Get it guys... Its a win win scenerio for us all. 

Anyhow I have to say my good byes... Maybe I will come back in a year and see what has changed.... 

I\'ve seen so many bugs that I couldn\'t count them all.  But the game runs rather well.  Why are so many people whining about exploiters.  Everygame that ever existed there are people who will find bugs, error, moronic AI\'s etc to whatever ends they need to cheat or make the game better.  

I believe an \"exploiter\" is nessary to find bugs were others wouldn\'t think of doing.  If those people don\'t reported it, so what.  Someone else will!  If everybody follows the programing which is so corrupted.  How can the game ever progress?  

To remind you all its just a game and only in the Beta stages.  Second Its for free so don\'t complain.  If you find a bug just report it thats all then get on with your life.  Most importantly we all get wiped anyways sooner or later.

I didn\'t believe it till I herd it from some one!  There going to wipe all the characters.  Whenever?  Thats a bummer.  All this hard work on my guy for nothing.  all well.. I will just wait and see when it will happen before I start working on anything yet.  I\'ll keep checking in regularly and hopefully it will happen sooner than later.  

I\'m not complaining just disapointed.  So see you all whenever it happens.  Good luck guys and good hunting!

Just to let you know my Ynnwn Male and other Charaters type use there shield as a weapon of attack and Weapon slot as a shield.  So far I saw only swords do it.  Not that its bad Idea for experianceds shields to be used as a secondary weapon.  But its odd to see it all reversed.  Just to let you guys know.
