Nlro Rolls Back Today
[GM]gurKen - 2008, June 09

OK Folks
Here's the story:

I've been tracing all valuable items variations throughout the last month and got to the conclusion that
massive duping began at some point between 16 and 18 of May. Since those days over 8000 items have been
illegally introduced into the server through duping.

Unfortunately we have no other alternative but restore the server's database to the "Prior dupe" state since it's
clear that we may not trace all duped items movements during these past 3 weeks.
The restore date would be May 15, meaning all your accounts / chars / guilds and everything would be in exactly the same
state as it was on May 15.

We are truly sorry about that. Please accept our apologize.

Olá para todos
Com grande lamento informamos que:

Estivemos buscando as raizes da duplicação massiva de items que ocorreu nesse último mês e chegamos a conclusão que isso tudo começou entre o dia 16-18 de maio. Desde essa data mais de 8000 items foram introduzidos no server ilegalmente através de duping.

Infelizmente devido a grande quantidade de items não tivemos outra opção a não ser restaurar os dados ao seu último estado "normal" antes do começo da duplicação de items já que não podemos saber para onde todos os items dupados foram ao longo de três semanas.

A data da restauração é do dia 15 de maio. Quer dizer que todas as suas contas voltaram para o estado que estavam nesse dia, incluindo items, chars, guilds e etc...

Lamentamos muito ter que tomar essa medida mas não havia outra alternativa.
Aceitem nossas desculpas.

Queridos nlRolers
Con un gran lamento paso a informarles lo siguiente:

He estado buscando los raizes de la duplicacion massiva de items ocurrida durante ultimo mes y he llegado a la
conclusion que esta ultima ha empezado en algun momento entre el 16 - 18 de mayo. Desde aquel entonces algo mas
de 8000 items habian sido introducidos illegalmente en el server via duplicacion.

Desafortunadamente, teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de items nosotros no tenemos otra alternativa mas que
restaurar la base de datos del servidor a su ultimo estado "Sano" antes de que empezo la duplicacion dado que
nos es fisicamente imposible hacer el seguimiento de tanta cantidad de items a lo largo de las ultimas 3 semanas.

La fecha de restauracion seria el 15 de mayo. Esto quiere decir qeu todas sus cuentas volveran al estado qeu
tenian este dia, incluyendo items, chars, guilds etc, etc...

Lamentamos mucho el hecho de tenerque tomar estas medidas pero dios sabe que no tenemos otra alternativa.
Por favor acepten nuestras sinceras disculpas

Your Opinion Is Needed
Schiff - 2008, June 06

As you all know now, we have been experiencing a lot of dupes, as many servers did. Due to these several attacks, we had to remove the trades ability a few times.
The bug has been corrected and will not appear again with the soon to come update.

Now the problem is : it is pretty hard to hunt down every single duped item.
2 possibilities reveal themselves to us:
1. Not changing anything and try to hunt down every single duped item
Or
2. Performing a rollback* to the date it started, which would remove all the duped items but also all the items you traded for. (Though, you would NOT LOSE ANY ITEM actually, since you'd get back what you had right before the dupe issue).

We decided to leave this choice to you, the players, using the poll.
So please vote and give us your opinion as to wether we perform this rollback or not.
Please refer to this topic to vote : http://forum.nlro.net/index.php?showtopic=...st&p=346760

Thank you for your time and we apologize for all the troubles these dupes brought.
Have fun.

* = Definition of Rollback

Nl Items Trade Is Enabled Again
[GM]gurKen - 2008, June 02

Hello fellow players.
As some of you have noticed, we have been encountering a lot of dupe recently. Due to this problem, we had to remove the trades to prevent more duping.
We finally managed to find the solution and are now happy to announce you that trades are from now on available again. We are still hunting down the dupers and will always do.

The update is on its way, we must correct the few bugs we encounter and modify the files to our needs, and finally, we got to test everything. We are doing our best to do all of this as fast as possible in order to switch to a better eAthena version.

Thanks for your patience and have a good time in game.
