Statement current exploits

Hello,

Most of you already know that there are some gold exploits out there. We're currently fixing these. We just want to inform you that this may take some time.

Once the exploits have been fixed, a gold wipe will occur in order to rebalance the server's economy and wipe out the proceeds of this exploit. We will also need to perform some other modifications, but we do not wish to expand upon that topic right now. What we would like to say is that we are aware that there will be attempts to hide the proceeds of exploiting from any wipes.

Needless to say, having to direct attention to these issues is slowing down our development process significantly; the next patches and T2 have been delayed due to these issues being selfishly exploited instead of being reported to the staff.

Rest assured that we will punish all players who have profited from this exploit. We don't want exploiters on this server, no matter how vital they may think they are, and we'd like to again express our disappointment at the choice these players have made to try to ruin the server for their own personal gain. We know that sense of disappointment will be shared by the vast majority of players who respect and enjoy playing on this server and want to see it grow, and we hope that you'll continue to give us your support.

Regards,

RoR Staff Team

Complete wipe or to some (I'm not asking for specific numbers) extent?

I think they wrote in past, that it will be reduced to a fixed value.

This is very nice to hear!
Too bad this effort will take from the process of developement. Hopefully this teaches people to report rather than exploit.

Wipe all = wipe all guilds, all characters (names including) and all accounts (you can always make new one, right).
Galaxy must burn.
