Transparency report:

Apologize for the back to back maintenance. This should hopefully be the last one for a bit. More information will be provided after the maintenance.

 

Transparency Report:

Over the past few weeks we've noticed suspicious activity among a few newly created characters. These activities were done through a quest exploit and a merchant exploit using 3rd party software.

First the quest exploit. This problem was identified and patched on the same day, and globally a little later. This exploit was possible due to a small misunderstanding and oversight on the way specific quests worked. Fortunately, it could be addressed without the need of a server restart for the main issue, and no damage was done at all.

Secondly, the Merchant exploit. Thankfully, we were able to caught on to it due to the method that was used alerting our systems. What took more time was knowing exactly what was being exploited related to Merchants. Additional development time was spend to figure that out, and successfully patch it.

Looking through the logs we believe the damage were minimal. Ultimately, the following items were exploited*

Spoiler

Low amount of Prestigious Coins
Low amount of Onyx Apples
Low amount of standalone scrolls
* Do note while the items were exploited, most of it are gone due to the account bans
** The user required owning the item in order to exploit it

While this took time out of our development for upcoming patches, we are now back on track after a small bump on the road.

Sorry for the inconvenience and downtime!

They were meant to be disabled last maintenance already, but I forgot. I've just disabled them.

 

All done.

 

Probably at next patch, unless we have a different reason to restart. We've made a lot of optimizations lately, and I want see if it all goes well nowadays. It's right now at 31 days uptime and no sign of anything weird going on.
