Default Item Stacking Issue, Exploit

Basically, the Item stacking issue created an exploit that was allowing people to sell the same item to a merchant over and over without the item being removed from their inventory.

The good thing is we have logs for merchant interactions, and in this particular case it will be very easy for us to catch those who abused it because the logs actually show the variable that was causing the inventory removal to fail. We brought the server down and will be taking about an hour to go through the logs and catch the large cases of abuse and track the money trail and ban the accounts.

I will update this news post as we progress.

Server up
