We don't know what the details are (because they're not saying), but I guess we should all be wary of...something.

So I guess there is money laundering going on in game? I am guessing its an exploit. I always heard there was a way to get treasury money double at certain intervals but never knew specifics.

Damn.. you know what's funny.. people have credits for sale on ebay... multiple sets of millions of credits.. I think I saw 10 sets of 10Mil Cr for sale for the gorath server the other day...

10 mil Cr goes for $100 on ebay.. And I bet this is the money laundering going on in game.. so people are paying like a 100 bucks for this money and then getting it taken away from them by SOE I bet they will be PISSED!!!

Holy crap! They're onto me!

/me starts burying money in the desert.

Howdy and Welcome!

Yes, the cryptic warning message is like going to Condition Orange. Go about your daily life. And be wary for something.

I don't know where.

I don't know when.

But something bad is going to happen.

But don't worry.

Just go about your lives.

Good monkey.
