my unused alts have under 4m isk each... if they received any fraudulent funds, it doesnt amount to much, 8m/account x 20 people might start making an impact, but if you have 100+ players in a corp, and any decent number of them are into proto gear, chances are the income from 8m/player isnt going to be terribly huge.

but at the same time, tracking all of these transactions would be nearly impossible, not to mention distinguishing between personal isk and fraudulent isk after the transactions start... rather than putting a specific number on a single isk and trying to follow it through its lifes experience, it is simply easier to revert any and all characters proceedurally for the erroneous amount of isk before and after downtime. some of it will get through yes, but a lions share of the isk will be pulled out of circulation one way or another. if someone scraps an alt or two who got their isk into circulation saves them a few hundred manhours trying to perform forensic accounting to focus on more pressing issues, so be it. 160m from my example earlier for 20x players, or single players, such as myself, having 160m each... its not perfect, but it is quick and simple.

as mentioned, id rather CCP does a quick and dirty fix here, and focus on something more pressing than attempting to track THOUSANDS of players financial records of what isk went where.

I have multiple friends who received over 100 million ISK in the reimbursement back in Uprising. Explain how that looked any different than the sudden addition of 140 million ISK yesterday.

Just got my confirmation email. Awaiting my Respec in the coming days.

Compared to the eve market most people will not have over a few hunderd mil isk. Can't hurt that much?

There will be some minor problems, I'm sure, but I doubt it would be as bad as it could be if it were EVE.

This leaves me very worried. I have two characters, Zor-Magna (set to be deleted because I don't like her anymore) and this one (my main). When I noticed the extra isk I figured it was a gift from CCP and donated all of Zor-Magna's isk to my corp. about 30 something million (haven't touched any of it on my main).

So, I really want to help in any way I can but I don't know how and I don't want to be penalized for not knowing how. Will CCP just subtract the isk from the corp or do I have to do something to fix this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't want my main to drop to negative.

if the character is deleted, they MIGHT subtract the isk from the corp wallet... i cant say for certain what they will do about it. i would advise sending your corp a mail to leave whatever the sum of isk in the corp wallet until it gets properly resolved. if it persists, consider it a gift, or file a petition as a bug report stating that you have erroneous isk left over from a deleted character.

i personally am for its removal, but i lack the capability and or authority to do anything about it. it would be nice if they manage to get it all removed, but to catch it all, especially in cases like yours, would be extremely difficult to accomplish...

the goal of getting MOST of it out of circulation is good enough of a solution, so long as not EVERYONE has another month+ worth of proto suit/vehicle funding to continue ruining the meaning of death in this game...

Thanks. I told my corp and we're going to wait until after the 31st to see what happens. If the isk is still there than I will send CCP an email saying we still have the money. T.T hope everything works out.

That's like saying "Oh I found briefcase full of money, I didn't know it was stolen so I spent it, now I have to pay for it?"

I understand many people wil be exited to have the random Isk boost, but should know its not normal and may be an error/ glitch and check around before spending all of it.

Exploiting bugs and glitches like these rarely ends up well.
Instead of being greedy and spending it all right away, you could have simply waited a couple of hours to see or ask around if it was something that was intended to happen, or if there would be repercussions for spending it.


@CCP:
Just to be sure, I can spend Isk normally as long as I don't spend more than what I used to have, correct?

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

if i open my personal wallet and find 20 bucks in there that i didnt find yesterday its mine

Thanks. I told my corp and we're going to wait until after the 31st to see what happens. If the isk is still there than I will send CCP an email saying we still have the money. T.T hope everything works out.

if someone dumps 5,000 in your bank account, and you spend the money, its not really your fault. you dnt know where it came from. its the banks issue they made a mistake. what benefit do you as the customer get for calling it in?

if its a named check, or someones wallet you find on the ground, or in an office, etc then ok there are measures you can take to return it however, if by someone elses error you encounter money in your personal bank account it is yours. they should have "carried the 1"

wow you mean to tell me that I may be negative because of someone else mistake. I already spent a lot of that money before a friend said check the forums they said they are taking the money back. How was I to know that you guys made a mistake, not mad that you did I just think you guys should take this one on the cheek and learn from mistakes. I really don't see how you would justify making countless people go negative in ISK due to something they had no control over please reconsider this option. Thanks for you time.

I actually thought this was a extra boost to us for ******* us up so bad. Thanks CCP for putting me at -94m ISK. Love you!
