definitely favoritism and hypocrisy

You have to admit that it's a foregone conclusion that people knew about this shit in BETA and never reported it.

Not that it matters, the staff clearly doesn't like being criticized and since it's a free emulator they put a lot of time in you might as well just suck it up.

Or alternately as you learn about these "features" just make use of them like anyone else, the precedent of not being punished has been set a long time ago. Overall this server still kicks the shit out of any other server out there so you could try enjoying it and just laughing at the Lovely's of the world instead of crying about it. If he is so bad you will eventually catch up to him in levels and gear, and if he's so bad and you are so good you shouldn't even need the amount of gear he needs.

The staff does punish exploits. I successfully reported someone abusing an exploit just the other day. They just don't publicly announce when an exploiter is punished. Also, a lot of the things people call "exploits", are really not exploits at all since they were doable in classic (still it's good that the staff nerfed them, like in the case of red wands). I'd be very surprised if they don't do something about the way Naggy was killed, since that was very clearly exploitative. Maybe they won't ban anyone but I should hope they at least take away the loot (no offense to the guys in Nihilum who I otherwise have no issues with (especially Lovely who I find hilarious) - but we all know the kill was illegitimate).

Regardless of guard assist being in or not, I can't believe I have to once again say this, I think I've said it enough:

There will never be a fucking character wipe or server reset. STOP asking about it, STOP trolling about it, We DON'T do them. This is NOT VZ/TZ or any other server you may have been used to that happening.

You guys had your chance to test the server and report bugs and all I heard during beta was bla bla bla server is fine launch it now go go go go. During a time when I was busy as hell at work (and still am), I (and the other devs) busted our asses getting the server out for you guys. You'll have to deal with the consequences of that now.

Sooooooooo... Address this?

Agreed, but then we have another group of people that did beta test and intentionally kept various exploits a secret to be used at live, with great success.

Basically, you can't win.

Then maybe the rest of you should have been less lazy about beta testing and finding exploits and reporting them?

Lol?...

We made tons of threads, posted stuff in general forums, sent PMs... but not all of us were looking for "exploits", or testing the same type of thing.

The failure of this is laid on the people the knew of it and did not report it, and the people that it was reported to, that did not fix it, and released the server.

Lovely was the #1 person championing the removal of redwood wands. Not sure what other exploits you're talking about. Nothing crazy has happened except for some halflings getting a few k plat early from that quest.

Quoted.

I posted fuckin SQL code on what to look for and how to fix recharging.

Even if P1999 isnt using the exacty PEQ database (which I know its not), the structure and processes should be similar enough for it not to be completely hard to change the sell rate on a fucking item. EVERY item has this modifier.

I'm not sure this excuses the action of someone who abuses the exploit. Not to mention some of the "exploits" people have mentioned were repeatedly reported in BETA (wands/recharging?). Honestly, recharging was in during classic on live but the big difference in many cases is that the drops were rarer and the cost was higher. Right now there is a ridiculous intersection where drop rate, item power and recharge cost meet.
