Fame Distribution Bug & Consequences

Dear players,


As many of you have noticed, a bug on June 9th caused Fame to be distributed over several nodes instead of just a single node on the Destiny Board. This bug affected Combat Fame as well as Crafting Fame.

The bug has been fixed with Hotfix 2, however, prior to this fix, there were a number of players attempting to abuse this bug to gain a lot more Fame than they should have gotten in a short period of time.

Specifically: players tried to exploit the opportunity to use massive numbers of Tomes of Insight to level up multiple nodes on the combat trees at once.


We would like to remind players that abusing a bug of this scale falls under section 15.5.4 of our ToS:

Compelling reasons include for example (without limitation):
  • If the User is engaged in cheating, use of bots, financial fraud or severe abuse of bugs.


Of course, we are aware that not all players abused this bug purposefully, as gaining Fame is a normal part of gameplay. So as long as you stayed at your normal day-to-day gameplay value, you have nothing to worry about.

For other players, we will take appropriate steps to mitigate the unreasonable benefits gained from exploiting this bug in the coming days.


Sincerely,

Nesnes & Dev Team
