Questions about OS exploit

07/04/2012 23:28 Klippdassen#1
So I jumped back on the OS wagon for a while what with this new server opening. Just a couple of weeks in the in-game economy seems pretty messed up; despite the "official wordings" by the OS administrators that "some people are just asking stupendous prices, just buy what you need from other players" it seems the money is out there already and quite some people are sitting on their billions. Sure it might even out. Eventually.
Anyway, I'm home now with some time to spare and not really interrested in waiting for that.

So we all know there is a pretty obvious exploit available on this new server and I'm thinking more and more about using it to support my characters since there is no way to keep up with the in-game economy through farming. Now I don't intent to do this to help further mass-inflate as I believe quite a few others already have, just to get myself on a level playing field with the mass AP-spenders or no-life resellers or what have you.


So basically my question is if anyone has done this already (most likely) and could share if it is detectable and/or seems to be looked into and thoroughly attacked by the OS authorities?
Suffice to say I begun playing on my standard account which holds some quite valuable things on other servers and I wouldn't want it banned. And no, I can't afford to restart with another account to gamble on this.


Thanks for any hints guys :handsdown:

OS inflation (on phoenix) was caused primarily due to the fact that NT Conti's sold for 30m. Not completely a problem untill OS thought... hey instead of releasing a Key Code for the first 25,000 players we will give them AP instead and sell a package in the AGE web mall that contains everything we promised to the first 25000 players. Only problem is that they were NT Conti's so people bought the package on multiple accounts and NPC'd them all...

Not a bad score... 29ap for 180m + 7day PID and some other NT stuff. Well the staff shortly came aware of this and instead of taking action on the abusers they simply removed the NT Conti's and replaced them with tradable ones. Smart move AGE!!!! So now the exploiters can still get 6x tradable conti's for 29ap and trade them off to other players or buy them. I do believe that the package has since been removed from the community but the damage was done and again AGE just looked passed it instead of fixing the problems.

Other exploits that might be benificial to you would probably be exploiting in an instanced dungeon for gold... Or try your gamble with a gold seller no doubt AGE will even care about that either. The economy is already stuffed from AGE's own mistakes, I doubt they will ban you for exploiting the system.
