This bug is null and void by Hex'd boards, any of my accounts have upwards of max gold, regardless of the board.



So unless your planning on going back to legit, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's typical bullshit programming from Metro.

I have a feeling that even the people who know what it is aren't going to say it in the forums, since then all the tools in the world that read it will try doing it, which means we'll have a huge problem on our hands that's a real pain in the ass to try to monitor.



Then again, that's security through obscurity.. Shrug.



As for this being null and void on a hexed board, unless I'm mistaking this for something else, how much money you end up with isn't the real issue - it's just a side problem. The real issue is much greater.



How's that for vague?

Regardless of what it is, it still is typical bullshit programming on Metro's part. They claim that they have beta test boards that run a battery of tests, if their beta board are running test, then why are there so many bullshit bugs, why do the bugs last for as long as they do. Metro sure as hell aint WCC (grin)

agreed... apparently they've somehow managed to re-create the serpentkin bug after wcc fixed it, which is even more pathetic. i really can't see why they even bother pretending to maintain the game, they should just admit that it's only a tax write-off and leak the source to people, or sell it to locke so he can open-source it or admin it himself. :p
