If you don't care for the way it is being handled, I can show you the exit, and you are free to leave and not return.  :)

And for the rest of you that has been able to keep it professional and not run around screaming like a headless chicken, a movie.  Enjoy  :)

Hmm, think you can give a time frame to the honest players when the game might be back up? It might soothe some of Headless Chickens,  ;) And on a second note maybe explain how a chicken that doesnt have a head can scream ;D

Don't worry Thazmaps. It takes less than two hours to make 25k tria by mining gold and making gold ingots. I was collecting tria to buy a guildhouse but I gave up when I saw prices like 7M so I started to give tria to the poor.

Btw, I think the punishment has to be unavoidable and fast to be effective. Not just cruel.

thanks for that info, i was really starting to gnaw on my teeth, cause ive been having so much fun playing that it would suck to get banned for something i was innocent of, and i really feel that the bug in question should be posted so that maybe someone who took advantage of it and is not aware they did can confess, and also to soothe the intellect of the players who are dying to know what it was . But I know i didnt take adavantage cause other than the previous donation I mentioned earlier which is all spent I have nothing.

After laying down to sleep last night and thinking that I had nothing to worry about because I am completely innocent and I would just have ride this out and wait, I relizead that a few weeks ago when I was just a newb, someone asked why I didnt have armor and weapons, as the conversation turned, it ended with the person giving me 20,000 trias.

I am worried that maybe these trias were bad trias now. can anyone maybe calm me down and say that 20,000 is nothing for a high powered player and I have nothing to worry about, cause Im panicing right now that I will be mistaken for one of the people that cheated and my character will get deleted or worse.

And if these trias were bad then I guess this is my confession, but I will state that they were given to me and I was unaware that there could be a possible bug.

I dont mean for this to start the planeshift version of the salem witch trials, but I am just worried know that I might have recieved bad trias and look guilty. But this is almost the only trias in a large sum that I have recieved since playing and I am not sure how easy it is for a high level player to earn trias.

Also I have put some points in bold, in case someone just reads one sentence of this and jumps to conclusion.

I think it would only make sense to plug the hole in the boat before you bail water.  By taking the server offline is not punishing the player base, instead it is to protect it.  It is the responsible thing to do.  I myself appreciate them trying to protect the integrity of the game and the inventory of my characters by doing so  :D

I would also like to point out that finding an exploit is not cheating....

Actually, those that can hunt them down and find them are doing the community a great service as long as they are handling their findings responsibly.  As testers some of us are going to happen accross bugs in the game from time to time.  There is no reason to be embarassed in finding them, especially if there is a gain of some type to be made.  The right thing to do is to let a GM or Developer know through appropriate channels and move on.

Where it crosses into wrongdoing is when someone finds the bug and gains an unfair advantage by exploiting it and not notifying the PS team.  By gaining tria, stats, weapons, and the like you didn't rightly earn you have crossed the line.  By telling your friends about it and continuing to abuse it you are only making it worse. There is no good excuse for it other than laziness.  It is dishonorable and the end result will always be you lose what you gained and more, unfortunately the rest of us will suffer as well   :-\

I agree with this also, it just feels like punishment to me though becuase Im not going to be able to play for a couple of days and now I didnt get to play while I had the chance, So now I have a big weekend of work ahead of me and didnt get to relax and play ps before my work begins. I waited for hours to play (when icould have done something constructive) and then a friend directed me to this topic.

I agree with that thought, its like telling a blind man to pull the blue wire on a bomb if he wants to live

I just feel like Im being punished when they said the server will be down till people come forward, Im a very sensitive person, my friends know the story, I wont go into it here but Im just dissapointed cause Ive been working so hard to get my armor skills up and first the npcs wouldnt hit me to raise my armor and now this.

How is this any differnt than the other day when the monsters werent fighting back? Lots of players got rich im sure fighting ulbers and trepors that couldnt hurt them. I was fighthing rouges and rats for a long time and didnt even notice untill i engaged a trepor and wasnt killed. And that wasnt for a couple hours. [thats when i made a petition about it, but it was already being looked into] and ill admit that after I knew I couldnt get hurt i went to fight an ulber, but I didnt kill it it was more for ego purposes (i made a screenshot) and I soon gave up and left. but if this makes me a bad person then I dont think I want to play anymore becuase I didnt kill it, only engaged it to see what it was like and get a screenshot. I wouldnt willingly abuse a bug for gain its not in my ethnics to cheat at something I enjoy.
