Gold bug

Tiamat

i was told and played for a second but said ok this is to crazy. What happened to you? 

Klendathu

I was told and stayed right away. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Shirszae

I didnt even suspect there was a gold bug until the post by Nicola.

Tiamat

What was the post?

Xaden

I don't even understand how that conversation goes.

How do you explain to someone that they can churn out millions of gold in minutes without thinking for even a second that it was a bug?

Its IG. Not a forum post.

People always think they will be the one to get away with something.

Not me, I am unlucky as fuck so I know not to tempt fate.

The one who discovered it, reported it almost immediately after confirming it was a bug. Unfortunately it was in the very early hours of the morning, that he found it. Said something on Discord along the lines of, "I hope there's an admin awake, because I'm pretty sure I just broke the game in a very bad way."

Still got shrubbed though.

RIP.

So what was the bug? They just kept spinning up the same number?

This could also be if they told others the mechanics to use it, or used it themselves during the time they were trying to rectify it.

Pretty sure admin was able to see who abused what and acted accordingly 

Tiamat

Honestly I pulled back after 500k but I gamble a lot 

Skye

I'm still curious how it worked.

My mentor grew leaves while I was sleeping. Understand the need to follow through with punishments but I am still bummed. Super bummed.

If you look at that, I asked her to pick a number and then I gave it a go. That wasn’t the bug.

I appreciate the implication @Tahquil but I never knew anything about a bug. Katalyst was asking me to pick numbers for him, a lot of them he lost gold on. That was a spin right before I logged off for bed and he went max bid because it was for a final spin. That was me just getting lucky picking a number.

I was never told the mechanics, I was never asked if I wanted to know, I was in no way knowledgeable that anything was broken, I never play roulette that often outside of resolutions.

And for what it's worth, the gold that I did receive from Katalyst?

You deposit 1000000 golden sovereigns in the account of Nicola at The Royal Bank of Ashtan.

I'm not the sort of person to abuse bugs or want to hang onto things gotten through illegal means. If I pick up a $10 note on the sidewalk, if nobody owns it, I'll hand it to the closest business or charity box.

I will just note that Discord is not the place to bring bugs to our attention, this will always be the ingame BUG system ( or the ISSUE system if you are unsure if it is actually a bug - never do both at the same time )

Never said it's where he brought the bug up, just that he mentioned finding it. That was said after he reported it, and noted just how severe it was.

One bug was filed regarding this situation, and two issues. The filers of these were not punished ( though this is also related to them not using the bug to gain a rather insane amount of gold )
Their gold was also reverted, as with all the others.

Can you imagine if Kyrra did it?  Good Gods!

I KNEW GAMBLING WAS FIXED.




You guys have no idea how long I've been waiting for a gambling bug so I could say that.

Adrik

I hadn't gambled at all.

Also my computer was busted, so I couldn't do shit if I wanted.

Can't edit so..  I would rather know about it on Discord (despite rarely, if ever, being on Discord for more than 2 minutes) so the larger game population doesn't stumble into it.  The person who informed me only said it was bugged and wouldn't disclose the details so it couldn't propogate anymore.  And said he was warning novices at all the tables, but they ignored him/her.  Those who did it after the bug was posted there should definitely get shrubbed though.   I feel like there were more than a few who heard about the mechanics from novices and said "that can't be true" and then tried it as a way to troubleshoot to see if it was a bug - to prevent their novices from being shrubbed.  But I also heard stories of novices making millions.  The fact no one doing it thought you guys have records of every bit of text that goes through this game is a bit worrisome  on a societal level both IG and IRL.

I can't think of anyone less likely to exploit something than Kyrra. I couldn't even give her a gift without her throwing stuff at me. 

Ajoc

Didn't know it existed until a few people commented on it, but even then I assumed it was exclusive to their circumstances not an all-encomposing bug.

all-encompassing.

Garner

Now that it's not available for exploitation, the developer part of me is curious as to what the bug was.

I just meant she seems to have HORRIBLE luck (based on Rants post).  I don't know her IG or out. 

Cain

There is a bug to exploit? Where?
