sooo ... looks like server's are up again and nothing has been fixed ... Khyber AH is flooded with convenient stacks of 20 flawless reds for 1.3 mil., but I guess they'll get cheaper soon :p

Sowhen exactly did the shit hit the fan? When has Turdbine gotten notice of it and what decisions did they make to contain it?


it has been going on on Sarlona for 7 or 8 days (that was when the first stacks of 20 large stones popped up on the ah for like 400k plat). It has been noticed by the majority of players on last thursday.

The stacks on Sarlona are maxed at 20 on the ah, compared to up to 200 frds for 1,2mill before, thats quite a drop but that happened on saturday already. Globes are down to 140 astral shards now. Dunno if they fixed the bug but as far as i can see, they didnt remove anything from the auction house. I assume that they didnt remove anything from the accounts then either. Dunno if any1 got banned but I didnt hear anything about it so far in the channels (or well, no1 talked openly about it yet :p)

Could someone spread the love to Cannith please... We're apparently a bunch of dumb stupid shits or too fucking lazy (self included) over here. I'd be perfectly happy to drop 140 shard for someone's dupped globe.

Draconic Soul Gems are 90 shards on Sarlona and dropping, but Sarlona exploited EE FOT more.

True Globes are so far gone at this point the auctions are just expiring with no bids.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

Every server is the Anti-Sarlona, except for Sarlona.

Being patient, foresighted, waiting out the shitstorm. Who needs these things? Clearly, Sarlona doesn't...


No, we're just as anti-Sarlona here as anyone else.

We're basically our own worst enemies.

Kinda like the Scottish.

I'm not anti-Sarlona.

I wouldn't want to play on any other server.

Explain what/why there is anti sarlona feelings? Did I miss some server prejudice meeting?  I was a complete mmo newb when I started ddo. I chose khyber because the name looked the coolest to me...

Arr Pee!  IIRC, it was because Sarlona was the defacto RP server?

I can't afford new clothes, but I like a new wardrobe every now and again.

I also love Sarlona, and won't play anywhere else.  But you gotta admit, there is an inordinate amount of self-destruction there.

Wow, what a blatant shot at Turbine.  Were things really that bad back then?

When was the server merger... we had 11-13 servers when it started.   Then went down 5 and still had population issues.

Yes it was bad.

On the plus side, DDO was at least relevant enough back then to get a comic or two written about it...

Yes it was bad.

The BIG server merger happened about 1.5 years after the game started iirc. It may have happened shortly before that though. Too long ago to remember exactly.

I've got to say that whether through incompetence or through intentional action this entire duping thing is a brilliant stroke of marketing from Turbine. People are talking about buying AS's to buy the stuff being dumped on the ASAH by the dupers...that's money in Turbine's pocket. If this was normal volume for the ASAH those same people would be unlikely to buy AS's but because this is a one-time flood of the market people are rushing to buy the shards to get the items that would have earlier been out of reach. Would love to be a fly on the wall listening to Turbine discuss this. Smiley
