Either hacked or a really bad bug

Ok so yesterday i trained up 25 mil spys to check some things out, then when i was done i untrained them. When i came back on an hour latter i had 25 mil spys trained, so i thought to myself crap i screwed up and didnt untrain them. So i untrained and was glad no one caught me with my pants down. Now this morning im looking at my army size and im missing 25 mil uu. After looking around i found that i had been massed and some how had a ton of spys trained and were getting killed. This is nutts, like i said either some ones hacking my account or this is a really nasty bug!!!!

First thing i'd do is change your password. Second thing i'd do is take this (or get some one to take it) to the Player Meet with Admin on Wednesday.

It does sound very odd indeed.

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

When was this, what time exactly, on Saturday (approx 12-1pm game time) right before i came off PPT, i untrained 20mill covert agents and 4 mill normal defenders, and the game said i had them as untrained so i trained them into normal attackers ( ascending )

Anyway when i hit the Command Center it had my 20 mill spies and 4mill defenders still trained, even though i trained them into attackers already, it was as if id never untrained at all, almost like the server did a mini roll back,

Since then there has been no issues with training/untraining, so im guessing it was a tempory glitch on the server.

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

@ clarkey i changed my password right before posting, and thanks for the tip ill try and hit the meeting up wednesday. What time is it and where?

@ Gen Chaos, yes the first time it happend was right around 12-1 game time, today it happend around 7am game time. I was on before then to bank naq and merlin my planet and i had a grand total of 300k spys, but around 7am i suddenly had 25 mil trained spys. It seems like one or those roll backs that admin does but there was no word of one. :(

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

Yea, i think the server was glitching out, and the only people that noticed are the ones who are doing massive changes, like untraining millions of UU, anyone doing smaller changes probably didnt even notice.

And like i said i havent been able to replicate it since.

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

I hear that m8,

The fact the first time it happened to you, was around the same time as it happened to me, so im guessing the server was at fault there, but as for you logging in today and the spies where retrained again, after you untrained them twice, well i think admin should be looking into this, as thats not right, also it wouldn't hurt admin to check your account to make sure no one had access (for the 2nd occasion)

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

Silly question, but were you defineately typing the numbers into the right box when trying to untrain. Im always training instead of untraining and vice-versa.

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

I do think it is a bug, as I made a broker to someone selling 4K of turns but I confirmed it and went back to the main screen and I still had 4K of turns. If this is a glitch or bug I hope it gets fixed soon

Re: Either hacked or a really bad bug

I have a very similar problem!!
I logged in at gametime Aug06 - 05:34 to see my army size is lower with around 9,2 million.
9 mill miners gone. No attack, no broker or whatsoever! Last time around gametime Aug05 - 14:50 was still everything fine.
I know this well, because I'm in an army size competition!
Please help me admin, check my account / fix this bug!
