[...] yah… we were gonna do something about the dupe issue. Too bad it’s a rollback. I just wrote about rollbacks about 2 weeks ago and now, it’s actually happening. Sigh. But trust me, this is for the good [...]

Exploiters suck. Bigtime! Those are the kinds of things that we guard against. That’s why vigilance from the community is needed. It’s a two-way street…

Thanks for dropping by. Hope to seeya again

Wow… I have played an online game that wasn’t as lucky as the ‘exploited’ games of LU…

And I have seen everything turn to dust when we finally realized that the GMs (and other the background people) have deserted us…

No rollback, no news, not even moderators in the forum. So I know what the ‘long run’ Sir Tristan means.

I’m a pioneer in that game. But I’m willing to build up my character from level zero and back up if that’s what will drive the ‘exploiters’ away. *sigh*

Hmmm, a game where everyone has max mod gear…?

Actually, I’m playing it. It’s called Guild Wars.

Access to max mod gear is easy there. Anyone can get max mod armor, weapons and accessories with a bit of in-game cash. The trick with this game world is that rarity is ascribed to skins. People are vain here and they care about what looks cool. So, if you want the pretty glowing sword with the forks of lightning dancing around the blade, you will have to pay A LOT.

Now if someone were to mess with that and make the pretty swords common, ah, then you would have a problem.

You see, in the end, MMORPGs are all about perceived value. After all, we are paying for an intangible product.

We would love too. But we can’t just rollback specific items or characters and not affect the level. Believe me, I ask that from the developers at the start.

But yes, you have a good point and I truly understand how bad it is for your time and effort to be wasted. We will do our best and follow your advise so that these things don’t happen again.

Thanks for your thoughts

the roll back is a good suggestion BUT cant you guys at the very least make some hocus pocus programming that you do so that the roll back would only affect items or something? coz a lot of players spend a lot of money to level up or gain in game money or whatever. i know its all hard and all but wouldnt it bring more complains if you rolled back waaaayyy to much? example: i play 18hrs a day for 1 month and made a char level 118 in rose, thats almost the sme time the whole server problems occured. so if you were to roll it back, id lose my clan, level, items, money and everything i have spent time and money to do. how would it feel if you lose everything you gained from so much work?

my suggestion is fix the servers or the game so it wont happened again and delete specific items that are very obvious came from dupe and let the others be. that way not much HELL will break lose

Thanks for understanding dude. I’m sure the Khan team will more than make up for the rollback

I’m innocent but my characters were affected of the rollback. Oh well if khan support team does not have any other ways to fix the issue I guess gamers (like me) doesn’t have a choice. I just hope the compensation that khan will give to the users has value to them.
