Duping

[xCry0x]

I am also going to throw this out there.

Someone on the other thread in RnF that tiggles started stated that he did a trade involving an item & 75 pp which essentially got duped. After the lag both he and the guy he traded with had the item and the plat... key part is they both had the plat.

If the dupe works that way why the hell would the dupers create multiple items of high value just to sell them for plat to RMT the plat? they would just take the 500k, dupe that 10 times and be done with it.

Couldn't it also be possible that the influx in AoN for sale is simply from ex IB players coming back after possibly liquidating their accounts aside from certain items that would maintain/grow in value (AoN).. and now are selling said item in order to get going again (buy fungi + cof + epic etc)?

Aside from an RMT side tiggles knows about, do we have any proof that there are actually more in circulation and not simply one guy buying one one week, realizing the clicky effect is not worth 500k, then selling it the next week making it look like 2 just went for sale?

I don't think that this is likely, especially since one seller with a brand new forum account was called out and did not bother to defend his sale or continue trying to sell it.

if the item ID is duped as well it should be a simple query to filter out all unique item id's and be left with multiples...


then delete ALL of them. not just the dupe, but the original too.


p.s. this assumes every single item has a uniquie ID

anyone that loses money in this deal might then be able to petition their details, when they bought the duped item and for how much, and maybe the money trail could lead to the dupers or RMT'ers

It doesn't. Each TYPE of item has a unique ID.

Not as clumsy or random as a modern MMO; an elegant code for a more civilized age.

Project 1999 is a lab... the players are just guinea pigs. It doesn't matter if they delete the dupes or leave them in as long as they still have guinea pigs in the lab. They don't care about your feelings if you bought something and they delete it because it shouldn't exist, they don't care about players in general... the only thing that matters much to this project is it gets the game as accurate as possible... We get a good benefit though, that's being able to play on the server they put their hard work into... don't count on it getting wiped when people are still willing to sign up and play.

Just to put it out there, I saw a high number of people trying to sell prenerf "Runed Fighters Staff".

I hardly saw people trying to sell them, maybe like once every 2 or 3 months, but recently, in the pass week or 2, I saw people with different names trying to sell them.
