Apparently, Auroria release was SNAFU'd by 'disconnected by gods', hackshield, or other log-in errors.  Or something.

RIP in pieces.  I enjoyed hoping that this game would be good.  What an interesting way for Trion to throw their reputation into the garbage.

Ed: As an explanation, it turns out there has been a credit exploit since release and some kind of RNG box/regrading exploit hit the scene yesterday.  At this point, I just look at AA out of morbid fascination  ::)

So basically Trion failed to fix important things? I'm not entirely sure what you meant there.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Yes, that's it exactly.

They actually rolled back fixes from the alpha/beta when they released in August.  I'm talking about boat hijacking using the dance item exploit, specifically, though I'm sure there are others.

To be fair, Trion is not responsible for the code per se, but, imo, they had a duty to perform QA and put the hammer to XLGames to fix things (and to secure a contract that allowed them to do so).  They also had a duty to perform rollbacks when the releases of Headstart and Auroria (on NA at least) made it impossible for people to compete on an even playing field.
