there is a thread on the neoboards saying a guy duped and had like 300 and gave them out VIA the money tree

there are several in auctions for cheap also

mebokoma was his name

Youch. I just read a few of those boards. Didn't realize it was such a huge duping

how the hell does one dupe items?

TNT is going to be pissed! hopefully they'll freeze fewer of us small cheaters this week

id like to buy one

dont see how they can freeze you for buying one of them

Interesting.

Now if only the Malevolent Senti-whatever Poogle avatar card got duped

[douchebook]

TNT is retarded like that,
they'll freeze whoever uses the item to
a.get the avatar
b.to resell

which is retarded since the consumer won't know it's duped

[Boggart]

Well they'll probably keep track of all the duped one and just freeze anyone who came in contact with it. They won't care it if you didn't know.

Because that's how much TNT loves us

[Map]

Did anyone purchase one by any chance?

[Boggart]

hells no. After I read the boards and people are like "DESTROY THEMZ!!!11!1!!!"

maybe buy one on a side you don't care about, and see if it gets frozen. Then if it isn't, sell/transfer in a few weeks...

[Map]

I just want the avatar, but probably not for this one. Is it only worth 7.5m? or 14m? Which was the original price? XD

I would probably purchase a duped card if it was the MSP poogle one. (:

[Boggart]

I believe 7 mil. now it's done to 3000 in auction with no one bidding due to fear

yeh i dunno. for some reason I don't think they're going to freeze, just get rid of the duped ones. ;O
But maybe...

People were talking about the duping of the FQD?
What happened then? XD

[Boggart]

Well no, appparently during the games master thing when they gave out the prizes, anyoen who didn't delete the duplicate prizes were frozen

It's exploiting a glitch, and TNT will freeze people for it.

that blows i bid on one for 5 mill and i dont know if its fake or not lol

[Boggart]

ouch . Well hopefully you get out bid or you can run away quickly

TNT was at work today though, my score just got approved. Maybe they already delt with those people and those are real ones?

People trying to sell the real ones in fear that they'll deflate to under a mil or something.

[outsidedream86]

Are there any programming guys around that can explain generally how a person is able to dupe items? Must be pretty difficult because it doesn't happen very often (that we hear about anyway...)

[Boggart]

and why not just dupe one? sell it, then wait like a few months, dupe it again, etc. Instead of ruining the economy and gettnig frozen for no real gain

[jcrdude]

Duping involves an actual hack.

Items are stored on TNT's servers and not locally.

This is the type of hacking vulnerability that would get covered up quickly (thus why you have to do it all at once) and is the sort of thing that will get you IP banned :3

[Boggart]

ah. Well i'd create 3 for myself and hoard them away in secrecy if I could get access

yeap people that run stuff like Neopets don't like people ruining the economy. I used to play a MUD called Ateolia that was run by Iron Realms. Found a glitch and whored it for like 30 million gold. All my chars just banned Even though I spent about 1000 bucks total on that damn game. Guess I got what was coming to me.

[Boggart]

a...a....thousand bucks...?

On what?

[ShinaDutchAD]

Apparently they were not duped.

http://www.neopets.com/~peytunn

[Boggart]

was that for every single one? or just a few?

They do it for fun. Considering each item in neopets has a specific code that when you dupe that code stays the same for all items. Meaning TNT can find all the dupes, and will probably get rid of the legit item too. Knowing this people do it to fuck with the site, not for any other gain. This is for duping, not for item glitches like the GMC or DD last year where visiting the item page would create new items for you. At least I believe this is what I read somewhere on the website or something..

[ShinaDutchAD]

Every person that got one off the Money Tree got that neomail from TNT
