Weird bug gave me two *extra* swords
« on: November 04, 2006, 09:35:32 pm »
A certain bug which I will not disclose here for good reason gave me 2 *extra* swords of magnificent value in my character Malfini.

1) 1 Iron Longsword, in character Malfini
2) 1 Silverweave Shortsword, in character Malfini

Even though these could clearly acquire for me a fortune. I am not a cheater and I cannot with good conscience
 keep them. So would a game master please contact me. I do not see a game master on right now and I would rather not make a petition for this. I can explain what happened when a GM contacts me. I just don't want there to be any misunderstanding and I imagine a GM would contact me even if I made a petition. But I'm going to eat my nachos now for lunch so it will have to wait until I get back  ;D . Just remember those are the only two swords that were duplicated due to bugs. Don't take my other stuff please. ;)

Send me a PM explaining what happened? :}

Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

In the interest of thread continuity I am now saying that I just sent the personal message to Karyuu describing what happened in detail.

Just so there's no big mystery hanging around - this was lag related :} Not a bug that can be used as an exploit by anyone over and over.

Funny, I had my reinforced longswords duplicated 6 times due to server crashes. I just equipped two, then an extra appeared in my invintory while the two i had equipped returned there. I just equipped them again, waited for a server crash, and repeated the process. I don't think I could do it again though.

The server didn't crash when this happened to me but it was lagging really bad though.

Well my bug happened when the server was really screwy. It would crash 5 minutes after the last crash, so that gave me the chance to continuously duplicate my weapons. Of course, I didn't do it on purpose, but after every crash there was a new weapon.

I'm pretty sure now that some iron and steel stocks were duplicated for me not too long ago as well. I ended up with more stocks than I remembered making after a similar event that occurred when the swords were duplicated later on. I could have sworn I had only made 5 steel stocks and 4 iron stocks but I ended up having 7 steel stocks and 5 iron stocks. I was suspicious but did not know for absolute certainty so I just figured it was the result of the unlikely possibility I had somehow incorrectly remembered the number of stocks I had made.... I pay far more attention to the number of rare and nice swords I have and now that I am positive these 2 swords were duplicated I'm also fairly certain the same thing happened to my stocks a little while back as well.

come to think of it, i've had similar experiences with iron ore and steel stock duplicating. Once i had to rush in and help a friend who had his entire inventory spill out on the floor. I had to save his more expensive items and glyphs. He was mining and on the way back to hydlaa when it happened. Turned out an iron ore had duplicated and caused him to drop stuff. I'm pretty sure he submitted a bug report  :whistling:. But yeah lag can cause serious problems

Yea once I sold a person some Tefusang skins and they managed to pick them up and they started to walk away but then their inventory unloaded onto the ground. I quickly told them what happened and they picked up all their stuff. Now that I think of it I guess one of the Tefusang skins might have duplicated in their inventory.
