not everyone knows about this, and I hear "buying any rare items" a lot

Yeah, I know everything will be gone then. But I just think for now on this server we should not worry about it, (which would let me keep my money for now =P) And TBH, I am looking forward to starting totally over, since by the time I get my character pretty high, and not really fun to train any more, I can start over and gain levels really quick. (doesn't matter how long that is from now, but whenever would be fine for me; sooner or later)

The cheaters are just going to read this post and invest all their ill gotten GPs into rares

...hmm, I may not have cheated, but if money is going to be dropped, that sounds like a good idea.

Role Back Everyone's Gold to 100,000

What about the people like me who have actually worked for their money? I have spent hours in the mines killing monsters and selling the drops to get most of my money, and the other bit I have sold rare items to other rich players. This would be unfair for the people who played fair.

Use an alternate form of gold or currency

wut

Ban Everyone on the top 20 richest

Again, extremely unfair. High-leveled players can make hundreds of thousands of GP a day just from the mines.

Introduce large-scale money sinks to get the excess money out of the game

This is good.

Nothing, I am happy for the people that cheated

I don't condone it, but they didn't cheat. Everyone could exploit the bug, and just because some people didn't doesn't mean it's cheating.

Abusing a bug is cheating and a wipe wouldn't be to punish anyone, but a way of fixing the economy

Cheating is giving yourself an advantage other players don't have. Everyone could use the bug.

I really don't care if all $$ and stuff is taken. I can deal with it but what bugs me is losing my lvl that I worked at. Take the money and the stuff but don't shove everyone to lvl 1! I mean yes I have used the fast attack bug but I think that the hours and hours playing even unfairly should count for something, which actually not unfair as anyone could hold ctrl and a while attacking and fairness is entact if all can do it. (just because people don't choose to use it doesn't make it unfair just a matter of choice) Just like school beyond grade and high school Higer education is a choice. Now that the cheating is dealt with, lets just wipe all the "bad money" and some of the "good money" and start over but not the lvl (or at least a percentage like crush mentioned)

That logic can be applied to anything, someone could say "everyone can download a bot or maphack (or whatever) so its not cheating" everyone can use them!!! so its not cheating!!!

and yes I believe the fast attack was cheating!

Just because everyone is cheating doesn't mean its not cheating it means the game is broken (just look at Diablo 2)

I didnt even know about this bug
