you sir, are a big fat phoney

Rakefur · October 05, 2011, 08:22:26 AM

Really weird. I just got that bug on reg. :-\ Just sold millions of troops. One by one. :(

Edit: OK, I got it on turbo too.

Shadow · October 05, 2011, 09:07:31 AM

on reg as well? Don't think changes have been made on reg, so it might be a problem elsewhere. Either that or someone is being annoying.

Are there buyers logs for the market, I wonder?

Rakefur · October 05, 2011, 09:10:40 AM

Yeah I got it on reg. What is a buyers log? *feels stupid*

Sharptooh · October 05, 2011, 11:47:35 AM

Just got this in REG, but not in turbo strangely

The timestamps are interesting however, ranging from 17.9 to 18.3 for me
On REG, not sure exactly how many troops I sold but it was enough to freeze my browser on the startup page . . . So I doubt very much someone is sitting there and doing this, maybe the timestamps can be explained by the server lagging?

On that note RWL has been really slow for me today and part of yesterday, I think this is causing it, and it seems to be getting worse unfortunately.

Shadow · October 05, 2011, 12:00:52 PM

That's so weird. Far as I know, we didn't add anything to the reg market.

That being said, it wouldn't be hard to write a script to auto-buy one thing from every cell in the market over and over, so maybe someone really is being a weenie.

Must wait on verdict from shael.

Sharptooh · October 05, 2011, 02:24:01 PM

So basically someone could be DOSing RWL . . . but why ???

The Lady Shael · October 05, 2011, 08:29:30 PM

I actually think I know who it is. -.- brb.

Shadow · October 05, 2011, 08:49:50 PM

Mystery solved. If it happens again, please let us know.

Ryu · October 05, 2011, 08:55:09 PM

Hahaha!

Shael caught me red-handed.

I was the market troll trolling your market.

What was interesting is that it did not take hours and hours to buy them all up... In fact, i spent literally just 10 minutes on and off buying troops in ( not sure how many times, as in the transactions made, didnt count :P) every troll session. So, I spent more time being humored about it then actually doing it.

Its something I tested for awhile. I used it in in-game attacks, shoutbox, private messages, and the market.

Vargarth knows it too ;)

So it wasnt to be spiteful, just annoying, and apparently it gave better results than i tested, i mean some people said more than a thousand transactions were made??

So yeah, my fault, I was warned, And ill knock it off :)

The Lady Shael · October 06, 2011, 12:51:51 AM

Mostly annoyed because rapidly hitting the database thousands of times in a short timespan could make the server give up and lock everyone out....just a warning to anyone else. Luckily it didn't seem to happen here but we don't want to take chances. Plus it's just annoying to other players (and puts more load on the database when they access their news events).

In other news, I'm fairly sure I fixed the auto-sell. Make sure the appropriate amount of cash is going into your bank savings. :)

Also YES Ryu has 4 posts!! *rejoices*

Rakefur · October 06, 2011, 06:53:50 AM

Haha (I actually couldn't stop laughing). :D I can't believe it was Ryu all that time. I should've known. And congrats Ryu:

Shouldn't there be some kind of disciplinary action for this? It could have been quite serious is the server had gone down, plus it inconvenienced a lot of people and wasted the admins time

I have no idea why on Earth you thought this was funny Ryu, it's one of the stupidest most childish things I think I've encountered in my time here. . .
