Oh no, they found out that I was reproducing gold ingots by ... oh yes, april fools, definately, of course
I think it was Martin's superbly proffesional graph (pg1) that fooled them all.

In that case, I'd like to apologize for killing several dwarves (5****), I thought there would be a character swipe, so I went on a small rampage ingame.
Again, sorry to those dwarves who were killed at the tavern.
Also, I thought that graph looked a little...funny.

GOD I hate being right. I was hoping this character wipe would happen, and I could get a restart on my stats.
Still, very clever APRIL FOOLS joke. (I especially loved the part where SOMEBODY changed "April Fools" in my recent post to "accountsystem," but it was pretty obvious my mom wouldn't pull an accountsystem on me.

)
Thanks for the laugh Illarion staff, it was enjoyable!

Obwohl auch ich vor einer gar grausamen sekunde des schreckes nicht gefeilhz wahr mal ganz am reande einige punkte die den aufmerksamen beobachter hätten auffallen können.

Ich habe noch keinen bug erlebt der nicht innerhalb von drei viertagen irgendeienm ehrlichen spierler aufgeffallen ist un gemeldet worden wäre, und gerade so ein bug hätte sich wie ein laubfeuer verbreitet.

Unsere Lieben GMs sind vollkommen aus und überlastet, einen solcher Mehraufwand und dass dann bei allen spielern würde bedeuten, nix geht mehr.
Das würde bedeuten das in ganz illarion vor dem Bug keine 10.000 Goldbaren exestierten. Gehen wir pauschal davon aus das nur jeder sechste angemeldete char nur einen Goldbaren besitzt währen dass alleien Schon zehtausend Baren. Dazukommen dann Extremfälle von alten Chars die mehrer hundert, teilweise über Tausend besitzen. Dazugezählt die gildenkassen der älteren und größeren gilden die allesamtt auch nocheinmal mehrere Tausend Baren ausmachen sollte jedem klar sein das diese Statistik nur ein verwirrendes Fake ist

Da der Server sehr genaue backups amcht hätte man einfach die Datein von vor dem Bug Laden können, dann hätte jeder nur ein paar items und skills verloren. Wobei ich mich mit dem Techischen nicht so sehr auskenne.
Zudem Kommen dinge, wie dass bis gestern bzw inzwischen schon vorgestern jeder gms mit seinen chars genauso spielte wie eh und jeh, das gleiche gillt für map-bauarbeiten und quest und eine charwipeentscheidung wird nciht von heute auf morgen gefällt.
Nunja, ich fand es trotzdem ganz witzig vorallen die Reaktion manschen *g*

When I read it I just said "F*** this game I have better things to do" Glad it's a joke, and I must say that was a great one.
Seems Keikan does have a sense of humor

When I read this threead I knew exactly what it was. ((Thanks to Warcraft and other games that have pulled pranks like this or worse.))
And it was then when I realised why I hadn't gotten a confirmation letter from Illarion yet.
