oryou knowcould stay here in off topic because i wanted to post it here
i was playing zapk's then lag started to forget over the server so i closed out and went to the server list, it took a stuffload of time to load.anyone else just witness this?
What he's been doing is making bogus transactions through Amazon. Due to the kind of stuffty way amazon handles payments, these come through as "initiated" to my server. I give people the benefit of the doubt and give them their key immediately because I don't want paying customers to have to wait. The master server receives an updated status from amazon a little while later indicating if the payment completed or failed and will deactivate the key if necessary. Unfortunately this just won't fly anymore, so I no longer give people the benefit of the doubt. Only completed transactions are acknowledged. This will only effect a very small percentage of legit customers. Note that as soon as I patched this, okiver threw a tantrum and ddos'd the server which is why it was down for a minute or two.
