DAOC - Bounty Point Deeds Removed : DAOC News

- Housing Deeds (cottage, house, villa, and mansion) are no longer available for purchase with Bounty Points (BPs).

These deeds have been temporarily removed because they were providing the potential for an exploit. Of course, we can’t go into detail about what the exploit was, exactly, but we can elaborate a little.


Bounty Points are intended as an alternative method to obtain some items and services in game, but are not designed as a method to obtain currency. Some players figured out a way to abuse the housing system in order to obtain gold via bounty points. You don’t have to worry if you bought or sold house deeds with Bounty Points that you earned legitimately. The use of the exploit is very methodical and you would certainly know if you were doing it. There has been some concern about players who may have been banned because some of the exploited gold has been traded to them. This is only the case when it is obvious to us that the player holding the gold was aware of the means that the gold was gained, and therefore was knowingly helping someone who was exploiting the situation. The Housing Deeds that can be purchased by Bounty Points (BPs) will return after we have fixed the issue with the Housing Upgrade process.

On a related note, if you find a way of gaining gold or experience that is vastly quicker than it should be, then we ask you to please file an emergency appeal rather than a bug appeal. The appeal system for bugs works differently than the rest of our appeal system. If you enter a bug appeal, your entry goes into a queue that goes straight to our bug department. You will not get a reply from a CSR because the CSRs have a different queue. Bugs like the ones mentioned above should be sent in via emergency appeal, so that our CSRs can work with you to document the issue and verify the bug, and protect your account from being flagged for using the bug. Testing something once or twice is just testing. More than that, and it is considered an exploit. We all want Dark Age of Camelot to remain a game with a well balanced economy and we thank you for your cooperation, and of course, for playing!
