Situation Resolved

[jorb]

A couple of wiseguys have managed to buy awesomely high skill values by using a piece of third party software to attempt to buy skill values so high that the LP cost turned negative. This resulted in high skill values and a few billions of LP to boot, since the cost was negative. This is no longer possible. All characters with such skill values have been edited back to normality. I.e. all their skill values are now set to one. For the record, this would have been possible -- although click intensive -- even without thirdparty software. The bug has most likely been around for a very long time.

Thanks to Avu, Darki and Hiro(?) for helping us sort out the shenanigans.

I've also thrown in a few new curiosities. Enjoy!

I remember to have tried that when i had negative lp on a test char in the third world, but it wasn't working at that time. I wonder when this bug surfaced, then.

[sabinati]

you might not have gone high enough

[Jeff]

you might not have gone high enough

Well, the number displayed was negative, but i couldn't buy the skill. Maybe that was due to the negative lp that char possessed, then.

More shutdown.

I am sad.

[chaosovum]

is there no way to ip ban the idiots?? Why just set their skills down?

[Anaklumos]

Shutdown makes me sad, glitchers make me roll my eyes, but that picture is too damn funny for me to care
