A long existing bug that allows the average player to max all of their skills has recently received an alarming increase in player attention over recent days. A number of good-natured people brought forward details of this some time ago, for which we are grateful.
It's inevitable that problems creep into game systems, and it's inevitable that paths of easy advancement will beckon. We sincerely hope that those of you who are considering exploiting this bug will seriously consider the ramifications it will have on the GemStone community. We consider the exploitation of bugs to be a very serious offense. We will exercise zero tolerance for anyone participating in the exploitation of this bug and consider such activity grounds for immediate lock-out from GemStone IV. If you are found to have abused the bug, and have received a warning for doing so, further abuse of the bug will lead to immediate suspension of your accounts. |

Only shop owners may purchase manifests, and only one can be owned at a time. Anyone can purchase a register, but the one-at-a-time restriction still applies. Visit any shop permit office to purchase one of these fine new books! |
