Exclamation

There is one thing we have found very effective as a deterent against in game cheaters (the other problems were all solved long ago but despite stringent quality control new areas/items/spells/classes occasionally provide players some new bug to abuse).

That is that rather than fixing a bug immediately sometimes we just log everyone using it and leave it for a week or a month before fixing it.

At that point all people abusing it can expect to see characters deleted and/or suspended. Naturally people who reported the bug to us instead of exploiting it don't get in trouble :-)

It's amazing how many people start reporting bugs instead of exploiting them for a few years after we do that :-)
