    I did not feel the treachery or inconstancy of a friend, nor the injuries of a secret or open enemy. I had no occasion of bribing, flattering, or pimping, to procure the favour of any great man, or of his minion; I wanted no fence against fraud or oppression: here was neither physician to destroy my body, nor lawyer to ruin my fortune; no informer to watch my words and actions, or forge accusations against me for hire: here were no gibers, censurers, backbiters, pickpockets, highwaymen, housebreakers, attorneys, bawds, buffoons, gamesters, politicians, wits, splenetics, tedious talkers, controvertists, ravishers, murderers, robbers, virtuosos; no leaders, or followers, of party and faction; no encouragers to vice, by seducement or examples; no dungeon, axes, gibbets, whipping-posts, or pillories; no cheating shopkeepers or mechanics; no pride, vanity, or affectation; no fops, bullies, drunkards, strolling prostitutes, or poxes; no ranting, lewd, expensive wives; no stupid, proud pedants; no importunate, overbearing, quarrelsome, noisy, roaring, empty, conceited, swearing companions; no scoundrels raised from the dust upon the merit of their vices, or nobility thrown into it on account of their virtues; no lords, fiddlers, judges, or dancing-masters.

    What type of punishment they can give ? They cannot hang the abusers. Either they can bann them or send them a WARNING MAIL.

    gms dont do fair with rollback. Gm just say bla bla and they wont do nothing who will change this situation. so what a point still play with glitchers

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

    Then let's hope they've learned from that mistake and issue a serious punishment this time?


    Not that we'll know who was punished or what the punishment is from them as they don't really give out those sorts of details but still...

    I doubt they will tamper with the gear and de-refine them.

    You doubt but i'm 100% sure they won't becoz they don't have time to go on each account/each character & tamper with the refines. b:chuckle

    The abusers get BANNED for what they were doing.

    Their gear doesnt go ANYWHERE since its NONBANKABLE, NONTRADEABLE and BOUND to their characters ...

    No reroll and nothing hurt by the spam of the orbs.

    But it won't matter if the day is something silly like 3 days, which they have done in the past over other issues such as the goon glitch. If a ban is the only way, it will have to be a permaban, but in pretty much most of their past damage control, they issue only temp bans.

    So the abusers keep their things while being sent off on a nice little PWI-free vacation.

    There can be much more different types of punishment than ban or warning. They could just make these code abusers gears back to 0, or delete the whole gear. Now that would be a real punishment.



    I fully agree. +1

    If players abuse bugs of the game, then they must be punished.

    You know the rules.



    A three-day ban doesn't discourage people from full +10'ing their gear.

    As I said, PWI's idea of justice is basically to fine a criminal who stole $10,000 from a bank and make him pay the court a $50 fee, then they sit there scratching their heads saying "gee I wonder why there's so much crime in our city..."

    You may be saying "But Longknife!!! You don't know what punishment they plan on dealing!!" Yes, and neither do you. You wanna know why? Because they didn't tell us. That? That's a problem. If PWI wants to discourage people from abusing glitches, they need to announce the punishment. They need to publicly say "anyone caught abusing will have all gear on all their characters reverted to +0" so that people are scared ****less and don't do it again.
    Instead? Instead we get this, "don't worry guys, I'm going to write these abusers a strongly worded letter saying what I think about them. And I'm gonna include swear words." OOOOOooooh~~ real scary! Wouldn't wanna cross the PWI staff on a bad day!!

    I literally cannot stress enough how much of a joke this is, and lord have mercy on the servers the next time someone discovers an exploit. The damage is already done in that regard, whether PWI realizes it or not, because the -MOMENT- the community discovers another glitch (inevitable at some point), people are going to remember this day and this announcement and -EVERYONE- and their mother is going to be exploiting that glitch.

    I don't think PWI even realizes how much they ****ed up this time.

    I wouldn't be surprised, since they don't even play the game.

    They probably think ocean orbs are some kind of fashion item you wear on your head, so it's no big deal.

    AGREED!... I think we all need to be patient about this. I know it isn't easy but we do need to find the strength to be so, especially if you still like this game. :$

    Please re enable the code for the ppl who didn't get a chance to use it. Other servers than Arch had problems.

    ON Raging tide it was impossible to log in after maintenance for three weeks. (lasted about 8 hours after each maintenence) + 1-2 weeks of struggling to get faction chat. I realize this isn't as bad as Arch's server roll back, but its something that should not have happened.

    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.

    6JMMAAB

    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.

    any chance the code will work any time soon so i can get my non-abused number of orbs? I am skeptical that you guys can really resolve this without letting everyone abuse it equally or doing a roll back. So can i expect 20 10* orbs in the mail soon?

    Im sure they have a completely different staff team now since the goons glitch. Of course I only assume that because we rotated CMs since those events, plus no familiar faces have appeared since then too.b:surrender

    I don't see how you can fix this without wiping the incident clean. There are people who did and didn't intentionally exploit the code, but nonetheless did. You can punish some and not all, since they all did it and it'd be unfair to ban some (no matter the amount of time).

    The balance of this game has been ruined. In one of the posts by someone, they said they people are pissed because they didn't get a chance to exploit the code. NO! Just NO! How selfish do you think we are? I personally am upset because this game is so unbalanced. So many nabs are walking around with a MINIMUM of +10 gear, that's not okay. And what does that make the people who farmed their +10 gear? I don't want to play a game with big headed nabs that have all +10/11 gear, that might just give me a heart attack.

    3 Dragon Orbs was plenty, why did they even bring this code in and mess everything up. Their solution to the problem made an even bigger problem. Please just rollback, it's not like it's anything new for you...

    As someone keeps saying they are not going to get the ban hammer, just a slap on the wrist, which now that I think about it they most likely will.

    About the gear, if they get banned, what happens to their gear? Correct, nothing. When they come back the refines will still be there and they will still be op. Now tell me how is that fair?

    b:angry So when can we expect a fix? Does it mean we have to wait another week ? I lost four of my check in days on Archosaur due to a fatal error you had on the server and a roll back. You couldnt just give us those days back? nooo you had to go and **** up everybody. Somebody needs to find at least two neurons that connect in your programming department because right now none of them do.

    OMFG he thinks we are blind? He thinks the red spam blinded us to some distortion? We saw with our own eyes the numerous and numerous ocean orbs spilling into the server and he wants to say it didn't really happen the way we saw it happen?
