I wonder how the GM's on this server think about EXPLOITING the code to get an unfair advantage over other players. As a guide years ago on Live I can tell you with 100% confidence that the higher ups would be cussing a storm and you would of been banned. We had senior GM's who regularly were pissed off at people like you that exploited, yes you got banned but the guides also got to hear their rants. You already admitted to exploiting the code here. Can we get a GM to confirm if this exploit is bannable? The exploit is camping AC gaining a ring then dying so you can corpse the ring and keep getting more and more rings on multiple corpses. The code doesn't allow you to gain more than one LORE item at a time, thereby you exploit the code by bypassing this with corpse holding many rings. A GM definitely needs to look at this and the Devs. Because it's not something other players would intentionally do to get a fair edge over everyone else to inflate MQ for j-boots and MQ for plat. | |||

![]() Then they should take issue to this because it's an exploit period. Don't care if others do it. When a whole server exploits something to gain advantages where the code doesn't normally allow it then you are breaking a rule, end of story. So either fix the code so all corpses tie to you where you can't get more lore items than one. On live I believe this was fixed years ago probably after POP, not sure as I have not ran into this issue in years and on P99 it just came to light with the poster above.

bold # 1: i guess you never learned along the way that this is a free-to-play server run by volunteers. who exactly are you to be telling the GMs and developers what they should be doing? this isn't Buma's Classic Server, this is Project 1999. i guess you still haven't figured out what me and others have been trying to tell you -- you're not entitled to anything in this game. bold # 2: the code does normally allow it. in fact, it's been allowing it since the server's conception. this isn't classic EQ, remember? it's only an emulated version of it. if this were an exploit that needed to be fixed, they would have fixed it by now. bold #3: i guess i'll be the one to let you know: the server isn't past the PoP expansion. in fact, we're only in Kunark right now. bold #4: this just came to light for you. i'm fairly certain this has been known to others players for several years now. | |||

Yes FTP doesn't mean they allow exploits. I am not telling GM or Devs to do anything, as a player we are all entitles to bring up exploits and bugs to the staff so that they can fix them and make the game more enjoyable to those who wish to progress legitimately on content and not have an exploitative edge to pass through quicker. 2. Just because you have code that allows it doesn't mean it's legal to exploit the code to an unfair advantage. As I said this is P99 yes but any exploit they will fix regardless if it impacts the server. In this case as an example players who corpse key AC ring is a major flaw. 3. This is why we got smart people running the server and not you. Because by your logic it's okay to have exploits on P99 and not fix them because Live didn't fix them till after Kunark era. If exploits were found they were fixed on Live, it's not part of normal content that they would allow them just because they got fixed at a later date. If it interferes with the game the P99 staff will fix any major exploit no matter if it was a later date past Kunark or not, at least I would hope so. For example if a exploit was found where it gave every player 5000 plat a day free and it wasn't found out and fixed till after Velious on Live and the Devs left it in P99 then it would harm the economy and server for good, so why would they let that go? They would fix it because exploits do not need to be date permitted for fixes, at least I hope they wouldn't because integrity is worth more than following a guide line they made up. 4. Yes it just came to my attention today, doesn't mean it's any less substantial. If a murderer has been on the loose for 30 years and the cops finally found out he has been killing for 30 years, does that make the murderer any less substantial? No of course not. | ||

![]() buma -- you have used the word "exploit" in some form 17 times in your past 2 posts. is there any post or rule by a GM or dev, ANYWHERE, which describes having lore items on multiple corpses as an exploit on this server? or is this just another case of Buma's Entitlement, where whatever the fuck doesn't helm him should be fixed?
and to fix your terrible analogy: the killer has been on the loose for the past 30 years but the cops know exactly where he is living, in plain sight, yet have decided not to bring him in. this is because 30 years ago the cops decided the killer was not actually breaking the law. classic era EQ was georgia, project 1999 is new york -- different jurisdictions, different laws. | ||
