        Sigh...

        Hopefully this is not going to be a bad hacking case.

        I will report right away.

        And please do not say this is dev seeds...it just sound stupid.

        Looook! Look at all those dev seeds! There\'s your proof!
        Couldn\'t help it, had to make that joke. But in all seriousness... that is kinda sketchy. Hopefully it\'s all being worried about nothing.

        Alright. So Customer Service said that it does seem fishy. But unfortunately he does not have access to Kongregate players\' game log, so he is going to have to call someone who have the authority and check from there.

        This might take a while.

        I will follow it up...I\'m in EST as well.

Im guessing its a bug or something? maybe a missing zero for gold (1k gold per point vs 10k gold);and an additional one for the rewards of soulstones. (20pts per soulstone) If they dont fix it, people;kongregate s1 will definitely win the top 20 for sure. And Im certain they wouldn\'t want them to be winning without even putting in any effort. It would make people from other servers not want to participate in this cs tycoon even more than before.

Well they got shut down over there but damage is already irreversible. They dumped BILLIONS of gold into their alliance to take over #1 and almost the entire guild that found the glitch / hack have taken over Tycoon. Not sure why a new company is allowed to just pick up LoA and do as they please and then they are added into a CS event with all of us established server... this is; joke. I hope they fix it right by banning every single player and erasing all their data up till yesterday because this will mess up CS Alliances too.

        Kongregate has been hosting LoA for a very long time, actually - I\'m not sure exactly when, but since there\'s level ~85ish players on their servers, they\'ve been hosting LoA since early 2014. Most of the exploitable glitch / hacks that I\'ve seen so far also seem to be platform-independent, so I\'m not sure if it\'s an issue on Kongregate\'s end or if it\'s just an exploit only people there found out about. Not trying to defend anyone, just a little clarification.

        Sounds like you guys have a weird situation going on over there, though, and I do hope they manage to fix this issue. :/

        There is some weird glitch going on where we can refresh and start running little helper again, and collect rewards from tycoon multiple times. Honestly, there have been a ton more glitches on the game (at least on Kong S1) after X-Server City came out.

        I do personally want a rollback, and am happy to provide screenshots of my gold and inventory to last night\'s standings.

        If it is possible, I would like a reset for our server to 11:59 pm EST standings.
