UO had a dupe bug that was still in the game well in to T2A and maybe even longer. I don't think it ever got out like these things usually do, but it was easy to dupe anything. When the UO servers went down every night they announced it server wide and at some point anything you did no longer mattered. This was well known and usually groups of people would be fighting in places like the brit graveyard at least on my server. What people didn't know was that they way UO saved items was that it went through and saved everyone's bank items first, and then saved their characters. There was a ~10 minute window in between these two actions. If you knew around when this was going to happen you could wait for your bank to save, then transfer whatever you wanted to dupe to your character. When you logged in after the server came back up you'd have the same item on both your char and in your bank. I had a limitless supply of gold thanks to this.

It was eventually fixed by kicking everyone off the server before saving everything, but this was after a looooong time of it being around.
