Nah it looks like it was actually heroic characters, which is still funny.

Apparently they left HEROIC CHARACTER in. People were getting the heroic, which is deleveled to 50, and using it to PL their alts.There is already a lvl 12 toon in crushbone.

And they just announced they wont be doing a rollback, just deleting the 50s.

From what I understand nobody was using heroic boosts intentionally, people were just spawning as them randomly when they made new characters but without any plat (that's a one-time thing even though you can delete a heroic character and re-use the token). Nerds are pooping themselves over some people getting buffs or a bit of poweleveling from the boosted characters and I honestly couldn't care less.

Everyone needs to recognize that we are handling it. No one has an advantage. We have DATA and can track EVERYTHING.

AFAIK this is a straight up lie unless something has changed recently, they cant see characters or items that were created but never stuck around long enough for the character to update with the server

Characters are saved multiple ways, on login, when you zone, if you do a trade and wait awhile after it, without the character being saved any changes to it arent saved, which is why to /testcopy you need to zone or log out and back in. The character isnt saved on log out though, only log in. So a way of exploiting i.e. hiding stolen/exploited/duped goods is to make a level 1, use it to help shuffle around the items/plat (cant drop plat anymore though), then log it out quickly and delete it. That will cut off the trail but they can still manually search for the item and still find where its new location is, however they arent going to do that very often which is why its so hard to get CSR to restore a deleted or dropped item that doesnt just show up to them, they dont want to spend the 5 minutes it takes to manually find it.

Massive fuckups are part of the true Eq experience.

Yeah, this is the third tlp launch. I don't remember the others granting 50s on day one. It must be dbg miracle.

I hope something like defiant starts dropping to further engage the neck beards looking for a time machine back to 1999.

This still isn't as good as my first EQ experience. Game launch in 1999, sitting in the login server chat rooms for the first week while Verant tried to figure out what the hell an MMO was and how servers worked. Good times :allears:

I worked at Xbox tech support and we were doing free RRoD returns and such. One guy was legit mad that he took off work waiting for UPS to drop off the box to send his xbox back. Well the box didn't show up so he bitched me out exactly like this. I didn't know what to do so I just laughed and then he got even more pissed.
