Quite possible. Afterall, i've noticed that the +2 Stable Slots for everyone has already taken effect on live shards.
Yeap.Sorry just to clarify
You had gold in a container in your character's backpack, beetle, and pack horse. Correct?
I had the same thought about them being duped checks. It doesn't have to end in failure and money loss.
.
Dammit... that their/they're thing caught me off guard again
Anyway ya they gave us plenty of time to clean up our money. They clearly put the word out this was coming so they gave us a heads up. I have no idea where half my checks came from lol. I did the vendor thing which is really easy. But since then I've probably picked up another 20 mill or so in checks lol. I'm not going to worry about it.
That is impossible, you can't have 124 checks in a bag on you char because that would have been 125 items in your backpack with no room for a transfer token.
Mesanna has been talking about this forever. They clearly are giving us time to clean things up. They're clearly more concerned about stopping it over burning legit players who acquired duped check through no fault of their own. This isn't the first post about various ways to clean up your gold on Stratics either. If they actually were going to do some "gold cleanup" they never would have mentioned it. One day we would have gotten a patch and gold would have disappeared. They gave us a heads up so if you lose gold you have no one to blame but yourself. I believe the intent of this is to put a stop to it, not punish the innocent.Thanks for the tips on washing illegal currency. The way you break it down for "low volume fixes" and "high volume of gold" is just brilliant for those that hate to lose their duped gold.
Tho most people with high volumes of duped gold probably know this already, its really sweet of you to put this out there for those who hadn't considered such actions. You Da Man....
The first post states that his checks were in a bag on his char.
Should always post/report when something like this happens, regardless of how little it may be, because it could effect someone else in a bigger way.
I do know that these specific checks were given to me as payment for loot (specifically antique jewelry.) In other words, I did not make these checks from gold out of my bank. So it's very well possible.
Yes... I was asking the people who were posting *after* the first two posts, seeing at the 2nd post was my own...

If they're duped, wouldn't it make it a fake rares collection?!
Well it was still my (I assume) real gold that bought it lol
Actually most of my better stuff I've never seen sold on any sort of mass scale. I'm a little concerned about my skull mugs though cause I've seen a lot of those
I think it was far easier for dupers to stick with duping checks than messing around with rares up till now. However expensive rare items would be the next logical place they would move to.
Mesanna has been talking abt how to wash duped gold checks? Holy Crap things have changed in the few months I took a break.
Yes it was 124m checks in a brown bag that equals 125 items. Your pack can hold 125 items last time I checked. 63M can barely buy you a cup of coffee so it's not a huge loss. As far as it being duped I am fairly certain that's not the case. I just thought it was odd only half of it disappeared. Hope this does not happen to anyone else
When I last was playing UO at the beginning of this Summer, I saw quite a few of the sparkly blue Sphynx statues on vendors throughout Luna and I think at a Minoc moongate vendor (if I remember correctly). You know? That one of a kind statue that only one was ever made? LOL.
Your missing Lord Frodo 's point. Your pack can hold 125 items, true. 124 checks in a brown bag = 125 items true.
Pretty much. You really gotta wake up and smell the coffee on this one. If I'm in law enforcement I don't post in the paper I'm going to be busting drug houses at the following addresses in 3 weeks. Mesanna isn't stupid and she knew full well what would happen when she announced the fix for duped checks. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out several ways around it. Which I applaud btw. It wouldn't be anywhere near fair to punish the entire game for the actions of a handful. It's pretty clear what's going on here. What's done is done, UO is looking at the future with this duping fix. Paranoid folks out there have been doing money laundering for a long time, lol.
all server births were duped at some point. every single one (as well as many older rares from before 2006ish) the more common skull mug is the one with the handle on the left. that was an exploit a couple years back when mana draught first came out. a "dupe" in the casual sense of the word, but not a true dupe.Actually most of my better stuff I've never seen sold on any sort of mass scale. I'm a little concerned about my skull mugs though cause I've seen a lot of those
Yeah your right I had to take 1 check out and hand it to the character who had token but regardless it happened (was a last second thing I did before xfer so I guess I only lost 60m instead of 61). I guess all I can say I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. Post under my original post he also stated he had the same problem so there is another case.
I believe you. I've lost stuff in transfers. I just note the number of items before and after. Sometimes they don't match up at the final destination. I've not lost anything major though. Never actually tried to make a list of what went missing. I believe there are things that doesn't transfer though so it could have been stuff like that and I didn't pay attention.
You saw what I wrote. It's very simple. It's either she tipped us all off or she's a moron. Which do you think it is?
To quote Meat Loaf, one out of two ain't bad.I think there are plenty of morons around here but neither she nor I are one of them
Well Mesanna DID say she never heard of duped stacks of gold. So she more or less provided us a poor tedious way of doing it lol.I think there are plenty of morons around here but neither she nor I are one of them
I still don't ascribe to your interpretation of her comments. People often hear what best fits their state of mind
From what I hear they make their gold selling game time codes. If you sell a one month game time code for 100 mill that cost you say 13 bucks for the code from Mythic. You take the 100 mill you got for the game time code and sell that for 25 bucks. You doubled your money. It's easy and don't have to get involved with any illegal or time consuming stuff. It's quick easy money (probably tax free) with little work involved other than sitting around keeping one eye on your computer for customers.
I actually tried this out once, quite awhile back but it did not work out.
LOL. That comment damn near made me choke on my ice tea.
. When your argument stems on something blatantly against the TOS.... I'm done here LOL.She provided us a poor way to dupe gold your saying? LOL
No a way to clean it up. *rolls eyes*LOL. That comment damn near made me choke on my ice tea.
If your buying gold then yea, chances are its all dirty. So yea, they should be outta the gold and RL money. Thats life bro
Read your TOS
I don't wear glasses but thanks for alluding any semblance of superhero qualities to me, very kewl.
She provided us a poor way to dupe gold your saying? LOL
Ok, I'm starting to feel like Token from South Park in this thread.
To quote Cartman, " Screw you guys, I'm going home."
I've reactivated old accounts I'm sure had stuff on them and every character/bank was empty on every shard. This was before shard transfers so there would have been some stuff on some of the characters across the shards. But they were really really old accounts.
