Individual crystal id\'s are not retained so we cannot track who took what.  However, I would assume someone made the same mod shown in the screenshots and made themselves a little richer. :-)

Just fyi, a server restart will NOT result in crystals like that disappearing.  Someone took them.

How could someone have taken ALL those crystals without someone else seeing it?  ?(

Did you expect them to stay there forever?  If a crystal is just laying around, at a spawn point or in the air, it is not wrong to take it.  Yes it was for art and yes it was very good, but if you drop your crystals they will be taken.  If that\'s a problem then don\'t do it.

Anyway, Psy, those screenshots look very nice and it was good while it lasted.

Really?  Because I\'ve hidden crystals in places unreachable unless you modded (like 50 meters past a wall in the temple), and after a server crash they disappeared, but after what I assume is a proper restart (or shutdown?) they came back.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity.

Fortunately, I have good balance.

I think we\'ve already established that we weren\'t expecting it to last forever ;)

Even if they did look it up, It was a mean thing to do, but its not a crime...theres nothing you can do about it...


Of course it was a crime if someone stole the xtals. Suppose I made a hack and stole your crystals - would that be mean but not a crime? Wake up, PK is almost here.

It was not a crime, you set them down, they weren\'t yours anymore...you can\'t compare picking up crystals that somebody dropped from the ground to hacking into someones account and stealing crystals. Wake up...

The artist did not set them down. He created a work of art for the public to enjoy.

If somebody took a statue from the public square of your town one night would you not call it stealing? Of course you would.
