If I am understanding correctly (and this is fourth hand - we have a phone tree set up in case something goes bad on weekends or holidays, so I'm getting my news from the executive producer who got it from the head of CS who got it from the shift supervisor on duty), then there is one player out there right now who was briefly worth a bazillion realm points, and killing him meant an automatic RR13. We stripped the excess points, and again, are watching closely to see if anything develops.
One corrupted character does not mean we should take down the servers on Saturday night... but an epidemic would mean we had no choice. I'll post to the Herald if we have to be so drastic.
