Players of the MMMO noticed a coin/item dupe bug when players traded and exploited it. “At a disadvantage, this was not a decision made lightly, but we feel the ability to trade and improve settlements is an important and fun aspect of the game, which we aim to preserve,” wrote Luxendra in a post on the various issues with the game. “We have permanently banned players who exploited the coins/item dupe issue.” The developer fixed the problem in a hotfix, which re-enabled trade and company transactions, and removed and duped the coin from companies who exploited the issue or had it trigger it accidentally. We understand the frustration caused by the trades being off, and want to ensure that no one suffers in-game financial losses because of the disabling wealth transfer methods. If town maintenance is behind on the territory you own or you don’t have a good money to pay for it because of this, we will provide the help they deserve. And trading post usage is limited until new characters accept the “Introduction to Trading Post” quest in their first settlement.
