Dev Post EricMusco Posted August 20, 2019 Dev Post Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hey everyone, We are going to be bringing all SWTOR servers offline for a quick maintenance. We expect to be down for approximately one hour. This maintenance is to address an in-game exploit. As a part of what we are doing during this maintenance, players will find that all of their GTN sales have been expired. Once we come back online you will find any GTN sales that you had waiting for you in your mailbox. With the exploit resolved, we will be conducting a thorough investigation of what has occurred. Once we have completed our review, we'll let you know the status and the actions we have taken. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amunra-amunray Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Nice, that has been a much faster response time. #KUDOS way to go eric:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celise Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Really????? Nice to see pro-active action taken against exploiters. so yes, really. Will you suspend the double xp event? EA isn't liable to cover any lost time on events due to something like this, it is there in the agreement you signed. if EA are kind they could add a day or two, but that depends on them.

NCplayedout Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks for letting us know, I finally get time out from the craziness that is RL (real life) and get a server error. Great to know it is not operator error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithTarros Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The event actually ended about a hour ago so this does not affect it so I would not expect to see them add time to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nee-Elder Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 As a part of what we are doing during this maintenance, players will find that all of their GTN sales have been expired. hmm, just checking here... Will there be any rollback too? Reason i ask is: when i logged in about an hour ago, i had made a sale 2 hours ago and accepted the in-game MAIL w/ credits obviously. I then proceeded to buy a few items (flagship encryptions) from the GTN, of which all those mails were opened and items taken. (as of about 20 min. ago) ./fingers-crossed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwil Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Will you suspend the double xp event? double xp/cxp is over about an hour prior to this. so no extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, we are just going to expire any existing auction, anything that happened prior to that point should be untouched. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. The service agreement can, from their point of view, be summed up best in one word: "Meh". (Yes, I know that MMORPG operators do strive to do better than that, but from a legal-recourse point of view, "Meh" is the best we can get.)

Celise Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 How on earth do people even discover exploits? Sent DM as I think I may have been a victim Metrics, communications between players in games (even PM's can be viewed), and any other data there was and how well the exploit is known to EA after releasing the patch. They have all that data in hand quite clearly based on this and previous exploits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
