The MP chat is full of people with various problems. Apparently, there's also a bug that appears to let you create as much cash as you want (I shall not go into details and I have not tested it myself). For my personal experience, any changes I make to my MP party are not saved. And I have tried purchasing a few items from a shop that were not there when I went to edit the party.
Addendum: The items have now shown up. Even some of the changes I did to the MP party. Perhaps it was a question of major delays in the actions taking effect, not anything really broken?
I'm guessing that the gold issue was related to re-selling items - and it probably is just an issue of visual memory rather than actual gold stats (i e - it resets to factual gold when the actual single transaction goes through, and you can never actually spend the excess). If not, you should pm a dev about it.
That is my guess also, especially now that the actions seem to have "caught up". So the people who thought they made a bunch of gold probably didn't. If I had any more concrete information of an exploit, I would do as you suggest.
So, periodically people find a client side bug that appears to create extra gold. So far, none of these have turned out to cause the server to agree. In this case, I think a bunch of people rushed to exploit the bug, causing a big queue in item transfer requests on the server side. Thanks for reporting this.
Thanks for the reply! It's nice to know the server-side has stood up to the exploiters so far -- coming from my IT experience, that takes a lot more forethought and effort than one would think.
