However, at the exact point in time at which anything from the testing environment is being transferred to the game, what happened in the testing effectively becomes part of the game in retrospect. So yes, if the crystals are not being wiped, then the MB cheating will have hurt the game.

Yes, they need people who report the bugs once they are found and verified. And no, I don\'t think these reporters deserve anything that may be gained from the cheat / exploit. If the devs feel they deserve something, it will come from them. It\'s just like saying the same thing about people who break into your bank account. Do they deserve the money they stole from you, because they \"helped the bank discover a flaw in the system\", since it has been spotted months later, after they had robbed millions of people?

@ Zetsumi: it is common sense not to cheat. There is no way you can\'t have known that (and don\'t start nit-picking like \"it wasn\'t cheating because cheating is...\", you know exactly what I mean.). There is also no need for it to be written down anywhere. If you are one of these people who just go \"it wasn\'t explicitely stated by anyone who has authority\", then I pity you. There is absolutely nothing you can say or do to justify your actions. :tdown:

None of the current mods take care of the list anyways.

this would be cool, and not very hard to code, it\'s like this:

you have certain properties, and the NPC will only tell you about the quest when you\'ve reached one of them.

for example, there\'s a quest that needs to be solved by stealing something, this quest will only be given to characters with, let\'s say skill level 20 climbing and level 30 picklocking, the code would be something like this:(this is php and probably wrong but it\'s just an example ):

if($skill_climbing == \"20\"){
   if($skill_lockpicking == \"30\"){
      start_quest_01();
   } else {
       print \"You\'re not skilled enough in lockpicking, please come back later.\";
   }
}else {
   print \"You\'re not skilled enough in climbing, please come back later.\";
 yup what i meant was that everytime someone logs on the game the game will generate specific missions and quests similar to this example
