new-world Huge Gold Duping Exploit Plaguing New World

[Starym 3,800]

 

Update: Amazon Games have paused all character transfers and will be addressing the exploiters. You can read more about it in the official post here.

It seems gold is raining down from the skies in New World at the moment, as an enormous exploit is being abused to get incredible amounts of gold by simply copying it!

This is the biggest topic over on the official forums and the game's reddit, as it appears the new server transfer system brought with it a very big problem, as many players are abusing an error which allows you to basically send out all your gold and keep it as well. Players have been doing this multiple times and reportedly some are even handing out 500,000 gold to random players, either to potentially get them banned (as they received exploited gold) or just to make it more difficult for Amazon Games to know who to ban. Apparently this has been going on for at least half a day and the amount of gold that have been injected into many server economies is staggering. Some players are even staying logged out for fear of someone trading them gold and getting them potentially suspended, or just due to possible rollbacks that might occur so that they don't waste their time.

And you can be very sure there WILL be plenty of bans going around, as this is the kind of thing where anyone who has interacted with the exploit will most certainly get their account banned (hopefully not the ones that just randomly got gold traded to them, but that's going to be a hard one to determine). Amazon Games have already responded to the forum threads on the subject, stating that their developers are looking into the matter and that "appropriate action will be taken" for anyone using the exploit.

Here are the main threads where the exploit is being discussed:

• Server Transfer: Character_Persist_Failure (Official Forums)
• Gold Duplication from Character_Persist_Failure post 2 (Official Forums)
• GOLD DUPLICATION Explort, stay logged out! (Reddit)
• GOLD DUPE, game must rollback people got max gold on multiple chars. (Reddit)
• Amazon needs to fix the infinite gold exploit right now. (Reddit)
• YSK there is a dupe for infinite gold right now and everybody can use it (Reddit)

This is going to be one of the more important decisions made by Amazon Games, and it will be very interesting to see how they handle it.

The Title should rather be:
Huge Gold Duping Exploit Plaguing New World ... again?!

It was also a breaker of the alpha / beta and the scourge of new worlds is back.

The real pest are the exploiters which have zero conscience and willingly get peoples banned this way. Imagine new players walk around and see big players giving them a good amount of coins. They are probably thinking "woah nice this server has really nice people, which even give the smallest players some help" and then they get banned, while the asshole exploiters have a evil smile on their face and jerking off in their cave for that. God this basterds making me sick. Sorry for offensive language at this point, but cheaters making me sick.

This is a pretty different exploit though, since there were no character transfers in alpha and beta.

that is true, but there were still crazy gold duping exploits that were never fixed during the beta's so it's not the first time they make a fuckup like this 🙂
