ok - i cannot win.
i try to fix the issue OF PEOPLE ABUSING SOMETHING and complaints of "it is not fixed enough".

then i revert it to what it was BEFORE the enhancement (minutes before) and i get all this crap.

MY FINAL SOLUTION: back to what it was before this last rollback of the accounts ONLY who have used the refund trade button (legitamitely or not).

from here, it is up to you players since I obviously cannot make it right for everyone, no matter what i do.....

(un-rollback of the 88 accounts in process...)

ok heres the thing.

If you want to reset, reset account to just before the bug- update.

People have lost way too much now while others didnt.

For example i could have had 10 mil uu at friends account.. he sends me today n now its all lost. Cause you reset me n not him. So wheres that uu?
Its simply gone!

This seriously needs to be fixed. again.

thanks

DONE> issue closed. if some people benefited from cheating, then it is so. with so many people - in so short a time - abusing bugs, i cannot recover. it was active for under 1/2hr and the amount of people messing with it made my fix as good as it is going to get.
period.
a not happy admin.

Admin,

Thank you if you'll un-rollback those accounts. Some people work very hard to have a good reputation and beeing a honoreble player. Then something like this happens and their reputation is taken away just like that.

We are all of course very greatfull for your hard work and efford you put into this comunity. Keep up the good work - but please - appologise to the player's who's reputation were crushed in your post. Or at least clean their name.

Regards,
Kjarkur

Edit: Didn't see you had already posted above me.

Thanks Admin for the un-rolling back. I think taking all the recieved goods back is enough. The problem is fixed, everything is returned, and we are all happy. Lets just put this in the history and move on :-)

i never said everyone 'cheated' - i do not think those affected are poor players, dishonorable or cheaters or bug abusers... some legitimately did test to see if it was a bug.
some had bad timing, and got included in the update since to be 'all inclusive' i included everyone - before and after fix - that used the option. 'better safe than sorry' was my thinking after being told my last fix was not 100%...

so the lists above are in no way fingering cheating or such.... (although SOME were doing it on purpose.... not all).

if i have improperly tarnished reputation, you can use this as my official "i am sorry" for doing so .... and I am...

admin.

i reclaimed AT this morning cause i was over the limit and need to have someone hold them. i did not exploit to gain anything even though i could and so i get punished for 500K UU. this is unexceptable no wonder many great players are leaving this game
