Vendetta Online 1.8.122

*** Vendetta 1.8.122
- New Friend Key promotion. You can send a key to a friend that they
can apply to a trial account to receive 2 free weeks of time. You
are given 1 additional key per month that you are subscribed up to a
total of 5 keys available to give out at a time. The keys are given
out through the client interface and is located in Your PDA under the
Comm tab. The new tab is labeled Friend Keys and shows all the keys
you've given out and whether each key was been redeemed. Once you send
a friend key, your friend will receive an email notification with the
actual key and instructions on how to use it.
Note: This has nothing to do with in-game station access keys.
- War Convoy bots now guard a spot on or near the wormhole, and should
target properly (just hated for now).
- War Convoy blockade locations for the Itani side have been changed
(Ukari A-10 w/ caps, B-5 w/o). Their numbers will also persist between
server restarts. Other improvements to come.
- Removed console debug message.

Exploit or feature? Sending 2 keys in a row to the same trial account.

Eventually, any 2 registered accounts can keep one trial account functional indefinitely.

I know it can be seen as a feature, just wanted to make sure you guys are aware of this. Since I am not paying subscriber ATM I won't be able to test if you have actually thought about this already.

It would be pretty silly to pay for two accounts just to keep one trial going forever. And does it stack? Can one trial account even use more than one friend key? If so, I bet they change that right away.

very good idea with friendly keys. I'll try to interest some of my friends in RL!

"It would be pretty silly to pay for two accounts just to keep one trial going forever."

yes, but if you wanted three accounts, or if you had two already, then why not.

as for it stacking, i highly doubt it

A Friend Key can only be applied to a Trial account. Once the key is applied to a trial account, the account is no longer considered a trial account, so another key cannot be applied to it.

why you removed the debug messages? because of performance or why?

I'm pretty sure it's about this message: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/23004

Looks a bit like they left another one in this time. I get this in the console when I log in: wgafv2.WNET_SERVNOTIFY_FRIENDKEYS 0

Because they are for debugging and not something users need/want/should be seeing?

question about an update a week or two ago (wichever one removed ff outside nation capitols). did that also remove the faction hit?
Apr 13, 2010 yodaofborg link
Nope, just FF LNH, why would it effect standing loss?

some dude claimed it did, i doubted him but didn't want to actually test it.
