http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=8241.0Another new side-effect of the bug found today was that you could take your clothes on and off and it would immediately give you demerits, nomatter how fast you do it, so naturally I tryed to see how many demerits I could get. The limit of 1000 meant not many, so I jailed myself to see how long I could spend in jail. I quickly got to 4 hours jailtime left, then started thinking of the possibilities...
This is where I should have just stopped. I then decided to use a macro to take the clothes on and off, with a goal of 100 hours jailtime. I left the computer to go to the toilet and came back to find a crowd around me watching as I reached 238hours! I stopped, and thought 1000 hours would be a good place to stop and leave it, so I bumped up the speed to 10x, then all hell broke loose, I lost control of the macro, and it started getting laggy, Ctrl alt delete did nothing, the macro had overpowered it and summoned a black hole of lag, I ended up switching off the computer manually.
I returned to AOT to find 3 people online, as the server had timed out for everyone apparently, and been reloaded from past saved state. I had no idea that taking your clothes on and off really fast could end up to the destruction of the server...
Fortunately nobody knows how the stun bug that affected everyone today was done, so the crash one wont be abused until well after BS finds a fix.
I had no idea the exploit would have this much of an effect and im sorry for any damage caused. It wasnt for personal gain at all (nobody gained anyway, except now d1 is slightly easier to find...).
The thing now is that there is a way to repeat the server crash without needing the stun bug we had today. If you are able to crash the server this means that you can also duplicate items and money! I need to contact you about it Badspot.
Im tired so ignore poor grammar
