Server Roll Back?

I absolutely agree with no rollback.

At 10:36pac on heavens tear, gold was buy 108 sell 110.

So that means our market was only screwed by a few people. Those people need to get banned and leave the rest of the unguilty parties untouched.

Well i think, it would be the only way to fix that
A rollback, but I think we should get an exp event to atleast help us out on what we are going to lose in exp.. think thats fair for people who have been grinding for a while.

well the easiest way for GMs to fix is to do a rollback, but i agree with helping us out on exp b:victory

Not sure if it has all be figured out yet but here is my 2 cents worth:
Some players discovered an exploit, an item they could purchase from the boutique for less than they could sell it for at merchants. They would purchase the item, sell it to a merchant and trade their ill-gotten ingame gold for boutique gold. The exploiter would then repeat the process again and again until they became billionaires. Because of their need to trade great quantities of ingame gold for boutique gold they created an extra demand on the market driving prices higher. Other players saw this sudden inexplicable rise and cashed in, selling their own gold for exorbitant prices to the exploiters.
Prices are now dropping back to a reasonable level (on . Possibly the exploiters have been caught and punished. It is reasonable to surmise that the gms have been able to monitor to auction gold purchases and discover who has been buying at these high prices. They almost certainly can see who is buying great quantities of the glitched item. The players have probably had their accounts suspended. I would not recommend that anyone try to cash in on the exploit since they too will suffer the same fate. If this is true there will likely be no rollback. The problem will be fixed via account suspensions or other disciplinary measures.
It surprises me how quickly people jump to silly conclusions. If you haven't graduated high school math don't assume you can be an accountant. The GMs have not created this mess. They likely have been working their balls off to contain it. And when it is fixed will anyone give them credit? Probably not. They will still shout about corruption and rollbacks.

hmmm now gms are advising players to not go near etherblade lake or they will loose access to chars... I wonder if this is related to exploit.

so how about the people who bought gold like 30 minutes ago and get rolled back? will their real life $ get transferred<---- |(not sure about this spelling sry)| back to them?

A GM has just been informed they are working on it. Please give them sometime to find out exactly what is wrong and a way to fix it.

Yaay keep us updated pl0x oh i hope this will be fixed soon b:pleasedb:victory

oks I charged my zen today and bought a few things to perk my day up. if there is a roll back do I get a refund to my cash ?.

This is why I think a roll back is not the best option as that is alot of work. oks if there was no real money element in the game but there is. what will have to happen is they will trace who bought what when and where. it is the same if stuff get removed from a **** on a characters account. they check to see who got what traded when and where. Well thats what they did in Star Wars galaxies.

If there is a roll back I would like to know what is going to happen to the zen I bought today.b:shocked

THE GOLD TRADE IS FINE...........
.............is a very odd official stance. One gets rather suspicious. In the short term PWI is making large sums of money out of this .

The trading system is functioning correctly.

The issue is that an exploit exists in which gold can be used to buy zillions of coins from npc's. This is destroying the economy. A rollback is the way to go.

A rollback would be best, unless they can track which players exploited the gold system. Cause if there's no rollback, there's just tons of players who got magically rich now, unfair to other players. If you lose all your time grinding and stuff, then would you rather lose that, or have people have an unfair advantage with money?

I agree with you, a rollback is the only acceptable solution to me. even they can track (they actually do) who exploited the "bug", can they spend all of their time to trace out who end up get the money? No player will use their main character to abuse the bug, so ban the character who is actually exploited the bug is not enough, unless PWI can spend time to trace all the trade that player has, all the players account who grouped with the player (drop money, then pick, money split between group members), player's mail, what player dropped on the floor (drop money, another character pick them up). I personally do not think they have the resource to all that.

If nothing is done, then what is the point of having GM's that never do anything.

finally... the servers are shutting down. ROLLBACK b:victoryb:victoryb:victory

I think the "Gold trade is fine", meant that the AH isn't bugged, as reported here:http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=1580192&postcount=111 And that it's what you do with the gold bought, that's the cause of instant multi-millionaires.

Why must they rollback when I jus lvl to 89!!!!
