Clone Wars, The Exploit... Update 1 - August 1, 2020

After the first announcement of this exploit, we’ve heard concerns from players about their items and resources. After internal discussions on how to proceed without harming our community even more than it already has been, we have decided to continue to follow our policy of deleting all duplicated (duped) items. We apologize for the time it took to let you know about this decision, but in implementing the fix we kept running into obstacles.

Primarily we decided on this course of action because the way the objects were duped would cause server instability over the long term if left in-game.

The second reason is when reviewing the duped objects themselves, we found very high concentrations of items in just a handful of accounts, those accounts are being investigated in more detail as we progress through the cleanup process.

We have decided we will mark these items no-trade for 14 days before we delete them so players can review the items and potentially resolve issues with sellers of those items. Each character possessing a duped item has received an in-game email that lists what duped item(s) that character has, and therefore no longer can be traded and will be deleted in 14 days.

Duped items we have identified from this exploit have been made No-Trade for 14 days before deletion.
These items can't be moved off your character, not even to other characters on the same account.

• If the item itself has been duped or crafted using duped components, it will be noted in the item description with the following, in red: "Staff have blocked this item from being traded."
• If a duped ADK is applied to an item, the item will be marked as No Trade with the following description: "Staff have blocked the Anti Decay kit on this item from being traded." At the end of the 14 days, the ADK will be deleted leaving behind your item.

The reason we have made two different notes is to differentiate them for players;

• if only the item is blocked, you can delete the item and still trade your ADK afterwards.
• If your ADK is blocked from trading, deleting the item it's attached to will still not let you trade the ADK.

The investigation is on-going and we will ban more accounts as we identify them, if you have information that can help us identify players involved in real money transactions please contact our support team so we can continue cleaning up Basilisk and improving our tools for the 1.0 server.

Again we would remind you that real money transactions for items or credits in game are a bannable offense according to our Terms of Service. However, if you did participate in a real money transaction we recommend you report the seller as having defrauded you via whatever payment method you used or through whatever way you found them. We will continue to investigate and if we identify your account as having participated in real money transactions before you come forward to us we will permanently ban your account.



Thank you for your continued support and patience.

In the list below you can see all the duped items. What is on the banned accounts and what is on accounts that have not been banned. People has also been deleting items, therefor you will see some discrepancy between banned and active accounts.

We are aware that there are edge cases that will create some issues in 14 days when we plan to delete the duped items. Like duped buildings and containers. We are looking into what we can do about issues like that. As stated, we don't wish to harm our community more than it already has been.

lol, I'm the only one with a duped garage! Haha, who the **** dupes a garage?

[lordkator]

At some point I maybe I can do a video interview on this phase of the project.

I know people are going to be very upset but to be clear the system found items that had been crafted from dupes too.

The exploiters were duping components and then using those to craft or sucker others into crafting items. My guess is they assumed I couldn't join that data back to the items that were crafted. They were very wrong.

If you have an item with an ADK on it when we delete the ADK the item WILL REMAIN please do not panic, that said it will no longer have an ADK!

There are still many edge cases to action here, some people have cloned houses and other items that we need to carefully address.

[lordkator]

lol, I'm the only one with a duped garage! Haha, who the **** dupes a garage?

I thought the same thing so I looked and it was components that were duped for that garage!

Nothing like short-cutting your crafting to make an extra buck and to try and hide what you're doing.

Nothing like short-cutting your crafting to make an extra buck and to try and hide what you're doing.

I've bought lots of other deeds from that guy though and none of those were duped. Also, why dupe components for a single garage, and not a factory run of garages? I'm sure you've considered this, but is it possible there are false positives?

[dedaskalion]

this list is hilarious to me

[Tomahawk]

are all mails sent ? or do i have to check characters from time to time ?

[Soryn Jian-Wa]

Can't you all do popups for posts? Like, I remember when I signed up for the forums, I got a popup to check some specific post. When I asked later about something that was addressed in that post, instead of answering it, some mod apparently reset that popup on my login. lol

What I'm saying here is...if you can do something like that, seems you should do it on a post like this so everyone sees it. :P

I spent MONTHS on the code that identifies the dupes, it's 1300 lines of code and the overall system is 10,000 lines of code.

I've checked it over and over, ran the code against TC-Prime and did literally 100's of spot checks.

And yours particularly was interesting being 1 of all the other items so I looked at it, not a false positive, sorry.

[lordkator]

are all mails sent ? or do i have to check characters from time to time ?

All emails for this phase are out.

If you didn't get one then party on!

[cmurphy50]

Turns out you have no dupes when you haven't bought anything real in over 5 years.

[Tomahawk]

All emails for this phase are out.

If you didn't get one then party on!

Thank you!

So much code lol .. you should work for a gouverment

[lordkator]
