SW: Galaxies shut down after players protests

Posted on Tuesday, 24 August 2004 by Speed, source: Fragland
If you want to read something really funny, then head on over to the warbucket forums where there's a story about what's been goin on recently in Star Wars: Galaxies.
Apparantly, there was a credit exploit and Sony decided to kick EVERYONE they THOUGHT had duped credits. After a lot of players came together to protest against this random kicking, Sony just shut down the server after randomly transporting people all over...
Apparently something interesting has been going on inside the world of StarWars:Galaxies. There is some sort of credit duping bug and after being heavily exploited by folks such as this "bruceleee" on the Intrepid server. Such an original name! Well apparently he and others started giving out these duped credits for nothing or were "tipping" heavily with them. Instead of trying another less extreme method first Sony banned everyone involved. Whether they knew they had these duped credits or not! So after this mass banning all sorts of friends of these people gathered in Theed (you know, Naboo?) to protest this or something. A bunch of CSRs (GMs, essentially) told them all to leave or they'd shut the whole server down! I find that part particularly amusing. So this one player, Allehe, starts acting as a reporter giving a play by play of whats going on while being randomly transported across the game. I guess some people even got teleported into space. Ouch. I guess they did shut down the server at some point when Sony made good on their threat but is now up and running again!
Pictures, chatlogs and reports on the happenings can all be found at the Warbucket forums.
Can you believe people are paying to get such crap at them ?
