If you didn't have enough mailbox space, you likely didn't receive every reward.

sadly enough, I think the code had issues cus I received 1 +10 d orb and nothing more.. considering I never let my mailbox get more then half full, I had more then enough space.

They were talking about punishment, not clearly saying anything about 1-week ban ... And im pretty sure since it is very bad for their sales they will try the best to get back those orbs or, for example, make all their equipment loose all its refines...

After all, i dont really see a reason to punish them at all but this solution is way better than a rollback, so thank you for not letting us wait

are you gm's mods or whatever going to solve these issues now? not that after a week game will be a fail or anything ijs

Mods have no power ingame. I'm a regular player who volunteers to take time out of my day I could be spending playing or doing something else to help look after the forums.

- We will be punishing legitimate abusers of the compensation code who received far more than is possible from redemption page lag.

To easy answer like this. Its like we cant nothing change. Ppl will forget incident, and then they can do nothing. Who got orbs are lucky, thats all. So cheapest gm work. Yeah I guess will be ban like few days and they keep 100+ orbs and event gold, funny, after this answer now i can leave pwi, i was waiting gm answer.

I agree, at least make the code active for those that couldn't redeem, that is truly unfair.

lichtfuerst

its nice to hear there will be punishments, but i'll stay sceptic until i see those punishments
now while we are at it, what happens to those, who couldnt get those gifts?

NinnaXXX - Sanctuary

i'm not gonna hope for a severe punishment for cashoppers.

another thing how are you gonna be able to tell who got orbs by spamming the page like mad caus they found out about the glitch or those who got too many orbs by accident
just randomly trow in some bans? even if these bans r for a short period they will still come back to the game with 30+ dragon orbs

@ Knownase , they should just make a unique code that is rendeemable once and sent it ingame/email

This thread is moving far to fast for people to even consider reading lol. By the time I post this, there will be 5 posts below it.

So your going to ban them, correct?

No, they said "punishing".

Knowing PWE, the punishment will be a warning to not do it again.

UberStyk - Lost City

most people that farmed in game or paid with gold for orbs just took it rite up the butt by the ones that just farmed the redeem page

motoor

Are u that fking naive to think they will actualy do anything..they dont fking care..they will give meybe to few ppl 1 week ban..but refine will still be there..

Hello Perfect World citizens!

We've finalized our compensation efforts for the past month of various issues that have affected many of you this holiday season.

-Redeem the following code to any character on any server for a collection of goodies including bound dragon orbs! The code is redeemable once per account.

Code ends on Sunday, November 24th @ 11:59 PM PST

We thank all of you who have stayed with us during these turbulent times, and please continue being awesome!

-PW Team

UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.

UPDATE:
Here is what I was able to get:

- We will not be rolling back the servers.

- A highly focused and targeted Archosaur-specific compensation effort will be enacted.

- We will be punishing legitimate abusers of the compensation code who received far more than is possible from redemption page lag. We will be doing so in a detailed, focused manner which will make progress on punishments slower but more precise. So do not worry if you are one who got more orbs unintentionally. We do not want to penalize those who did not intend abuse of the system.

Regarding the level of abuse, from the data in front of us, it was not quite as widespread as many believe. It was mostly a few dozen or so who abused the code from means other than lag/timeouts. The perception of it being widespread is due to the unintentional in-game message spam distorting the situation, and nonfactual boasts in the forums or worldchat.

This is the reason why there will not be a rollback.

Seems fair enough for me. If there's some you don't catch, it's just a new challenge for me to figure out. No worries, it wouldn't be a fun game if it was always easy.

Sorry you guys have to deal with all this. Best of luck and all that.

I hope you mean perma ban....... Can you explain more please? I loved this game so much.... always took pleasure in playing it, enjoyed doing my own thing and yes I was still doing little odd quests here and there.....now...after this chaos, my heart isn't in it anymore. Please tell us you will truly punish the cheaters.b:sad

TZoner - Raging Tide

I say perma ban and give anyone left enough orbs to +10 all gear to even out the server status.

FrogJuice - Dreamweaver

Just like to have same reward as everyone who did get it, website so back logged couldnt even submit for 1 rewardb:cry

I'm sorry, but this? This is an absolute joke. I realize that people on these forums can often sound rather hysterical and dramatic, constantly talking about how the game is dying and every decision made by every GM ever is the worst thing ever, so perhaps it'll be a bit difficult for me to be taken seriously when I say this, but this solution is absolutely worthless and pathetic.


What are you teaching your own community? You're teaching them to exploit the ever-living HELL out of any and all glitches they find. Dragon EXP glitch happened, how were people punished? A three-day ban in exchange for hitting 105 and all the benefits that come with it; this is on par with someone stealing $1000 and being fined $25.

And now this? I can't help but feel like you guys want to blatantly ignore what happened. I know damned well what I saw, I know damned well just how many people profited from this. In my guild there's a guy who +11'ed two items, in my alt guild there's not one but TWO people who went from +0 to +10 for their ENTIRE SET. Add to that another dozen or two names that I recognized and saw repeatedly in world chat over the course of two hours (off and on, not repeatedly, implying they knew damned well what they were doing), and yeah, I have a difficult time believing this "wasn't that many."

Add onto this the fact that many people BEGAN experimenting with the code page after seeing others receive so much, knowing FULL WELL that PWI has provided weaksauce punishments in the past and that this was likely a situation of "I better do this or I'll get left behind." I can name an abuser right now who only did it out of PURE curiousity and a confident belief that PWI would roll back so there was no harm done by experimenting til he got it to work, but this guy looks to be lined up for "punishment." Alongside that, another handful of people I was personally chatting with on Teamspeaks and vents who received the reward multiple times and simply stated they had no idea what they did.





What you're doing is breeding a culture in your game where people are actively ENCOURAGED to exploit the snot out of every damned system glitch they could possibly find. No amount of punishments you could possibly dish out can make up for players being full +10 or getting pieces to +11. This is an absolute ****ing joke of a response, and for once I can actually say that yes, this is the kind of stuff that can kill a community. (though mind you no, I'm not so blindly dramatic that I'm claiming "OMG GAME IS DEAD NOW!!" No, I mean this stuff kills over time. ) You're teaching the community that they can't depend on you, can't rely on you, and you won't do anything worthwhile in the event that a serious glitch or mistake occurs. Just like any player chooses a guild with good leadership or an investor chooses a company with a smart CEO, players choose a game with good management. And this? Letting this happen and saying "it's k, we'll punish them....SOMEHOW *vagueness vagueness*" THIS is NOT good management. It's blatantly obvious at this point that your team desperately needs a new CM and possibly new management, but for whatever reason it seems it's not coming or the current management (China?) is just completely apathetic to it all...

So long as those who abuse it get slapped for it, satisfactory...

What will be done for people who have not yet been able to take advantage of the code? Such as the bulk of the Euro players who only logged after the code was disabled?

If it's anything like the "Goon Glitch" incident...The abusers get 3 day ban and then come back with all the **** b:angry

And those who panicked when the site was slow and were afraid the heavy traffic would take it down completely and so kept clicking submit, hoping to at least get something before the site went down, what about them? This is the worst solution possible. Really, who made that decision?
