Read the first page of the topic with the post of Gugli.

However : I don't really get how people do to "get planets for free"... If I understood correctly, when the transaction "fails" (silently, which is a bug) : your bank server does not get the planets (but is charged 1 planet for a failed transaction), and the players receives his planets back. So no Planets are created or lost (except the 1 planet fee applied incorrectly).

Am I wrong on this one ?

Well if they don't fix it immediately, planets will be boosted and they will have a big problem with players will leave the game. And is not a big deal after 1/2 weeks from launching the game (officially).

i cant read a line that it wont be fixed soon ? "ASAP" means as soon as possible ,
which means in fact it will be fixed very soon.

The source are plenty of threads in this Forum where this bug is adressed.
Its known since almost 2 weeks now and if you read the postings carefully you´ll see
that it will be adressed when xbx is back from his well deserved vacation.

I dont see the problem that people will run away from a game they paid 20 Euro for...just because of some virtual money not working correct. Its a racing game...not a Wall-Street-Simulator

*giviginup*
when u quote me , please dont take in answers to other people (like "i ll levae the game", "20 euro" etc..) , thats not what i stated.
And has nothing to do with coding plugins, which i wanna do, but can not in certain cases - because one of the methods is bugged.

To the points:
. no its not a financial simulation.
. its the games Currency. which is widely used be ~ 40k people which are playing the game atm.
. if You would have been read the threads carefully, you would have been seen, that he threads i should have been read carefully are mainly from myself. - i found one with a statement, that the bug is cleaned up allready ,
which is not true. (others with the bugged method GetBillState are not found widley, sorry)

http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... hod#p52336
(last post, words are colored), but the info comes from a closed Beta Forum, where i can t read anything)

The only thing i was pointing to is, that a simple answer , as i wrote in my first thread, like "we know it, and it will be adressed" should have been nearly 2 weeks ago. - from NADEO, its always helpfully, if people give answers, as Xymph btw gave, with source. - We know XBX is on vacation. - Is he the only Coder at Nadeo ? i think NOT. (maybe i am wrong, dunno)

. The only reason why we are posting in this thread is, because the others havent been answered allready. - and maybe a little to keep this thread up. Because its the first one in a langauage i can read With an Anser from Nadeo.

. iam happy about knowing that someone will adress the bug.
. Lets wait and see if hopefully we can use the Method safe and thus, the game gets more interesting for the players.
.i hope the dev´s can take in the debugs from my threads, and i also hope they are helpfully in clearing the bug.

i appreciate your "mature" kind of posting, but some people do react different on problems.
i do want to use my plugins save and that does not work in the moment.
I do also think its not a good idea to say "thats not such a big Problem" because beneath the main functions of the game the games currency is a nearly main function in some eyes.

and at least a small question:

If its no Problem to you, and you do not have any new ideas about clearing the bug,
why are you posting in this thread ?
just my 2 cents.

Xbx is the person who works on the dedicated server. He is alone for this.

thanks for clearing up this

No he isn't, see the Credits list.
But as jon already clarified, they have their specializations. Those probably overlap eachother, but I've never seen anyone else but xbx post about or release new versions of the dedicated server. On the other hand, we don't know if the planet transaction bug exists solely in the dedicated server or a combination of places, so perhaps it can be addressed sooner.

Thanks Xmph for info, I am shure the vacation of xbx is really well deserved. mabey we ll have a fix before, maby after his holidays, and i am shure your also awaiting the fix of this and maybe the one or two other bugs

So back to topic:
what i ve found out is,

that if u can donate to your own servers, in 99 % of the other servers it works also.
But it does not depend on if u have a server or not, bcause payments of a
m8´s girlfriend do work, but his payments do not (same IP) , and both have no serveracount.
so it could be player aocunt depending (linked tmuf acount or whatever) i am shure the logs
of the masterserver can tell something about it.
Thats why i postetd working and non working transaction numbers in my thread ain the dedi section over here.

if its stored in a data base it should be no real problem to find some specific transactions and check where the bug is buried or at least whhat traces this ugly bug leaves us to find a solution

uh an other question: atm the validation key of the player acount page is needed to get payments working, what, if this one gets changed ? do the server acounts have to update their validation codes too ? (i did, but i am not shure if its needed)
