Speak to SI about it then. I know that he and Jeff put a lot of effort into making sure the exploit was addressed correctly, which is one of the reasons the "banning post" was delayed for so long.

So, since vap helped red that means red's accounts are subject to ban/wipe/deletion. Si is Ryan correct?

Yes, SI is Ryan. This has been a pretty complicated project to tie up all loose ends so I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan left out a few details for clarity's sake. You will have to speak to him directly to get the full story.

I have done thanks enkelin, he has clarified that a few accounts were missed during the first ban wave but various others were picked up at a later time and banned but he hasn't publicly announced it yet.

How didn't Red notice his zerker having more shields/resists? Im not saying it's impossible but I find it hard to believe he didn't. And if he did then it means he should be banned correct?

You would have to talk to Red and Ryan about this but my understanding is that Red was completely inactive at the time (he has a lot of RL commitments).

Well, this sounds like a good example of why people should be wary of sharing accounts. :/

Looks like if I find an exploitable bug, I might as well ask my friends to exploit it on my account :P

Since the basic exploit is the same (docking wild slaves) their accounts will only be banned for 6 months total as well, but to clean up the economic damage we will be wiping the progress of all characters on their accounts back to the starting game state (in a zebu). Levels, skills, items, ships, etc. Purchased skins will remain on the accounts, but otherwise they'll be starting fresh.


HAHA. Finally, this is one of the first times i've seen the punishment fit the crime in SS exploiting.

This one gave me a good laugh. Good job on finally taking real action against exploiters.

If anyone uses your accounts to exploit then your accounts are subject to a suspension, ban and/or deletion. It states in the user agreement.
