Magical appearances #1

Postby trage » Wed May 12, 2004 8:18 pm

....Right I was doing a trade in the Tribe Blackrock Headquarters and I had walked in and was ready to hand my onions to someone. They were dropping some stuff to make space, and suddenly without anyone handing me anything or me picking anything up I obtained 876 grams of hide. He has just dropped some hide so I asked him if it was his, he said it wasn't because he only dropped somewhere around 300 grams. I don't know what happened. Can someone please tell me?

There has been a bug floating around that have been removing envents and objects from the game. I talked to thomas about this once already..

IC one of my characters was supposed to get a weapon, well the lady who was supposed to arm him forgot (or so i thought) and left. I tell her on messenger she forgot to give the weapon to my character, but she showed me the events then her inventory, i did the same for her.

What it showed for me was her asking ic for someone to help with a theif, my character said he would help just needs to be armed, showed her get on the bike and leave.

What it showed for her was her asking me replying her handing me the weapon then her getting on the bike and leaving. The weapons disappeared along with those events.


Another part of it, was someone hit one of my characters, i attacked him back. Everyone in the town was shocked and ready to hit me till i showed them my events... they didnt see him hit me, only i did. >.> understand all that?

I coudln't find out anything yet about either incident. I could verify that the handing of the weapon, as well as the hitting event was indeed missing on Brandon's character page, while it wasn't on that of other characters.
It is possible that the database is in an inconsistent state that produces such weird effects. I could not verify that yet, though.
If more people are experiencing such things, please post that here. That might help to recognize a pattern.
It might have to do (although I can't explain how) with the recent travelling of buildings. That was a manual mistake we made, and it might have damaged the integrity of the db. However, that should influence locations rather than objects and events.

We can only keep watching it for now.

I have seen people come out of a building twice... I have seen someone go into a building but be in the populus outside... I had almost 200g of iron dissapear out of a chars inventory leaving him with 50g left that i thought was strange... Played off like a pick pocket.... I have had 800g of cod go missing... and so on and so forth... some of these I had seen already posted so I did not mention it... others I figured were because of changes being made to the database... :D

I'm sure 2 of my char's magically lost a warbow. (1 warbow each :wink: ).

Quite some time ago tho, in the 700's.

God SnakteByte this is a bug so I reported it. I am not going to wait 4 days to report it, and besides did I really give away much about the game?
