C4 PTS News #8 - PTS Unavailable

The PTS went down on friday afternoon due to an exploit. Due to the PTS being down all weekend I was unable to gather any useful Warlock stats. I'll Include the official comments from Mistryl at NCSoft.

From Friday Afternoon:

A player abused an exploit on the Public Test Server this afternoon that generated over-enchanted weapons and other unnaturally obtained items. This exploit does not affect the live servers and your account security is not at risk.

In response, we have brought down the PTS for maintenance. Those items will be removed from player inventories during this maintenance. If you had any of these items in your inventory, you are not at risk for disciplinary action unless you used an exploit to obtain them.

There is currently no ETA for the return of the Public Test Server. We will post more information as it is available.

From Monday Afternoon:

The Public Test Server will return to service at 12:30 PM PST [1/23/2006].

All items that were unnaturally obtained by exploit have been removed from player inventories and warehouses. If you exchanged your weapons or other items for a removed item, we are not offering compensation or reimbursement. No rollback of the server has been performed.

The community server is currently unavailable.

We thank our players on the Public Test Server for testing Chronicle 4! Please continue to report your bugs here on the message board or through the Support web site.
