$2499.00 for a character...

Also, what's up with them claiming that these characters are at cost and they aren't making money off these? So, it takes $2500 to create a Jedi Master in SWG huh? *cough*BULLSHIT*cough*

Further elaboration of the suspensions from Blair below... people who are found not to be involved after further investigation will have their accounts reopened.
Seems to me like they had to suspend all potential dupers quickly in one sweep to stop the proliferation of these duped credits. Those found to be innocent will have their accounts reopened early next week, at the latest.


Greetings...

*
All persons potentially involved in the dupe have been banned or suspended.
*
People who have been banned or suspended are going through the appeals process now. Each case is resolved privately between the customer and customer service. The appeals process will be complete by early next week.
*
Over 75% of the duped credits are being removed from the economy preventing hyper-inflation in the SWG economy.
*
No vendor owners were suspended for purchases made from their vendor with duped credits, only people that had money directly transferred to them were affected.
*
We are committed to maintaining a safe and fair playing environment and exploiting will not be tolerated.

Can't wait to see the bonuses Sony will start throwing at people to get their numbers back up.

Tired of hundreds of hours of menial tasks to become the next Obi-Wan? Now everyone is a jedi!

I keep picturing in my head the civil unrest animation from Civilization 1 for DOS where the people marched across the screen with their pitchforks and stuff.

I haven't played for about a month now, and since they seem to be taking idiotic GM'ing to the max, I've just cancelled my account.
