I ll post in here so everyone can see it and so it will be discovered faster, mods can move it later....(wait for admin to see)

The new update about rejceted brokers...well it is neat, but it also has a HUGE bug...all trade brokers ever to be rejected to you...well you can regain everything....mills of UU can be "regained in this way"

Sorry for posting it here in the general, but I just thought you guys should know

Best Regards: SVARUN

I've noticed this too and emailed admin about it. Hope he made a backup before transfering server so he can set everything the way it was.

its sooooo tempting

ah well, at least etl keeps me honest.


i didnt think i had that many rejected trades. ive got at least 10-20mill uu worth of stuff there.



Oh, btw, last time there was a bug like this, and everyone abused it, it took 4 days for the server to be fixed instead of 4 hours. Please do not abuse it

Wow. Quite the bug...

That kind of removes the itch from my fingers...

your update states 12 hours after the treade decline we are able to recoover goods from over more than a 2 month period

Rejected trade broker deals

You now have 12 hours to 'reclaim' rejected trade broker deal goods. After 12 hours, the goods are automatically returned. This, too, was due to feedback.


if its not a bug some of us will gain million upon millions of uu trillions of nak and 100's of thousand turns

Forum I've emailed your urgent account with more details if you would check. There are some rejected brokers where you can request resources back and if you click that you get them returned. Please if this is not fixed, we're looking at another reset. I agree with Brian, dont abuse it!

Some of the brokers go back a month or more. If someone does a recover on one of those long past brokers, what happens? I don't dare click on any of these to tell you what the effect is for fear of exploiting a bug.

Agreed with Bryan, PLEASE NO ONE CLICK ON ANY OF THOSE!!!

I believe that is what is being talked about the bit within the square brackets is a button which can be pressed to recover the goods (I haven't pressed it).

Please do not click it, anyone...I too did not. This would bring more work to Forum.

but what if some people have already abused it? Will they have the resources removed? If not it wouldn't be fair for all of us who didn't abuse it...
