The BA purchasing bug (in Public Record)


AdminJonathan November 15 2005 6:05 PM EST

Short version: the bug was fixed Sunday shortly before 2 EST.

Longer version: this bug allowed players to purchase infinite BA, for free, for about four days.

Lu Bu was fined his MCM, and [iono]tscm's ion was fined $500k for abusing this.

Heard about it yes, good that it's fixed.

When i saw huge CP from them 2 i thought they saved up a lot of BA . But then again...2 millions forging and more in a day was a big question mark i feel

LuBu had over 6k Clan points AND over 2 million forging in the same day.

Kind of hard not to figure he was using the BA bug.

i knew about the bug and reported it to bartjan as soon as i found out. he told me to use the BA in 160 intervals every 3 hours (or however long it takes until you would naturally reach 160 BA) until it was gone. is this still acceptable?

Whoa, I had no idea!

It sort of goes without saying that if you didn't get fined, you're okay.

Wow! How did they get free BA? Did the limit of 160 go up? Or what?

Outlaw November 15 2005 6:54 PM EST

Wait I didn't get free BA when I bought BA! Was it only for them or what?

if it had been that obvious it wouldn't have taken us that long to notice, now would it
