Duping

Same thing happened to me during live, I died during extreme lag, came back and had a full corpse. I went back out to the same camp I was at and saw my corpse on the ground. I wonder if a method of this is being used to dupe. Too bad I was only in my 30's and didn't have anything of value.

Do you remember the exact scenario in which this occurred for you? Maybe if we can create the same environment we can reproduce the issue on p99.

I was camping the Bard ammo slot gem in SSrae Temple, so was very solo (by "very" I mean there was no-one even close to being near me - it was pretty much a group-only area that Bards figured out how to solo). I died to a combination of lag/resists and the server came down before I respawned at my bind point. That had happened before, but it must have happened for me at the point after the server had spawned my fully geared corpse, but before it had removed all the gear from my character.

There was a lot of talk at the time about duping, I remember. Uber guilders had figured this dynamic out and were apparently using exploits to crash zones and duplicate their inventories in this exact way (surprise, surprise). The server I was on and others were being flooded with duped plat. Sony was attempting to track it all down and fix it - which is why I decided to just delete my corpse inventory and walk away whistling. I didn't want to run the risk of being banned/suspended for something that was entirely innocent.

Actually, I think I had to delete my character items before looting the corpse items - hence my anxiety at deleting the epic I was carrying. I remember checking the version on my corpse many times to make certain it was ok before I went through with it, and tested it on lesser lore items first.

I think what happened to me was I casted gate. The gate went off, but the server logged me dying in the zone. Resulting in a corpse and a live character.

I hear platlord is back and business is in full swing since the ddos has been occurring. Congrats to him, he's making this shit work in his favor while the rest of us can't play the game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P1999 blue and red are now off his website...if he is selling already he is doing through a different identity.

Yea since around patch day we have had daily lagg,ddos,dupe whatever you want to call it. CONSTANT. You would think RMT would be damaged from the lag... I mean what good is plat if you cant even cast a damned spell[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There were a lot of corpses at shady recently......(well known player) they all disappeared today...

All started when IB came back.

I believe ddos started when that guy was showing the throwing daggers bug. All GMs have to do to prove AoN were duped is a count of AoNs before that date and now... that's like a 1-month period. Check what CT dropped in that month then you'll know

Problem with that is I doubt there are extensive server logs, so this information is near impossible to obtain.

Yikes! Another possible DDOS attack just hit. A big one... Going to attempt to re-log. It just crashed me.
