Todays daily update for Anarchy Online has really bad news for the recently released MMORPG. It seems alot of people that have played since the latest patch will lose all that time. Anyway, heres the announcement:
Today’s update will encompass the problems we experienced with our latest patch, yesterday.
The patch we released 19.20 GMT yesterday had one very serious exploit that made it possible to get an almost unlimited amount of ip-points. 22.20 GMT we decided to take down the server as the exploit was too serious to keep the game running. The team was called in to find a solution, they worked to fix the problem, and brought up Rubi-Ka 2 05.40 GMT and Rubi-Ka 1 06.55 GMT. The players were updated on the situation every 30 minutes in the launcher.
The IP-exploit was very serious and would have lead to great imbalances within the game. We decided it would be unfair not to react, and that is why we decided to roll back the database and recall all the characters to the state they were in before the patch.
We are very sorry for the roll back of the database. We know how bad it feels losing only 5 minutes of play, and a lot of players lost several hours. We deeply regret the loss of xp, items and credits that some of you experienced.
The team is evaluating and changing the procedures to be sure that we catch serious exploits while they still are on the test-server in the future.
Unless things start to pick up for AO (which I hope they will, I hate seeing RPG's do bad) I doubt there would be many people willing to invest their time and money in a game that could have done with a bit more testing.
