Salem

Hello Pilgrims of Salem,

Today, I was happy to quit the game and gave away ~100,000s, 3 stalls and tons of inspirationals,foods,seeds and sleds in Roanoke I was funny to see nearly everybody got a sled, some griedy ones with two. I hope I made some of you guys happier and you continue to play the game more than I did.

I have been playing this game actively since my ArcheAge account was banned because it was a Korean only beta and I forgot to enable my vpn. I got my account unbanned and I have no reason to play this game anymore, the game itself is bad but I liked the players and the community. However, it is so corrupt that you would not believe it so I'll try to explain as much as my english allows me to.

Lets start with bugs and how to abuse small stuff

1. The mighty 1x1 fields. It has been abused by all the high level players so without further ado I represent you the required files and how to use them
Salem.jar > Replace this file with your current one and do not use updater to start the game but salem.jar
When there is an update, this file will need to be updated and I will do so even if I dont play this game anymore. Just give me a msg on irc.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/othxey1ycvuji ... _field.jar

Next, you will need the farm tile to be replaced, here it is. Put this file under User\Salem\custom_res\gfx\terobjs

Have fun with your 1x1 tiles

PS: Sooner or later the fields will be fixed to 2x2tiles and probably the 1x1 tiles will be nuked. Eventhough I'm %100 sure devs will be lazy enough to find them or figure out a way to destroy them that most of it will be available unless reported. Use at your own risk, I would advise get your purity seeds on the 1x1 tiles and make a seperate field for tiered products

2. Wall of Bugs
The game is so bad that people still uses bugs that were reported months ago. Using auth objects (Stone boulders mainly) to make a indestructable vault is one of the examples. You can similarly build wall segments on sleds which are called sleds-under-the-wall that prevents you from hitting the wall. This exploit can be used in many ways, the main idea is that if the middle segment of an object is occupied by another one, you simply cant touch it. You can use this to make walls of sign posts, place stone boulders next to each other and drop a ore boulder in the middle and such.

The good thing is that it will be fixed because the Mighty GH guys decided to report it however they forgot to report the other guys they are using. I urge them to report them or I will be more than willing to share them.

3. Jumping over the Walls
If you have summonable scents, you can make a leanto next to a wall you want to bypass and log out, let your friend summon you inside the walls and relog. Easy ? The latest punishment of the Chief is the best example for this exploit

For the politics, I believe I have to give some opinions here.
First of all, most of the people I talk are selfish and egoistical people. GH accuses Tribe for using bugs and **** but they uses the most of the bugs themselves and get insider informations from devs. Let's see what the next update will be, if it is armors implemented you will be shocked and if it is not, too bad it had to be postponed and you can curse me I specificly talked to Moo about devs being too friendly with some people, and there was a topic saying that GH gets inside info before it was announced. Well I'm looking forward to the next update.

On the other hand, I respect the Chief and I believe it adds a depth to this far from incomplete game and helps to make a great community. Without evil, there is no good so I respect the role he plays even though he is not the evil.
The Russians..I played quite a lot of game with Russians and I like them. They have principles, they learn everything about the game they play and they are stubborn. I'm sad to announce that I'm not a Russian and had no help from the Russians in this game contrary to some retard claiming otherwise on irc day and night. From my experience, they do not attack random people and try to eleminate all non-Russians. The latest raid of them on Rebecca's village was due to a villager of her leaving scents due to her crimes on a Russian I believe ?

I want to thank a few player from the deepest part of my heart for helping me when I was a newbie and still continued to do so,
Connors_SC for listening to evey stupid question I had about farming and giving me that great claim you had on plymouth. I wish I had the chance to play with you on the same server and saw your new village
Trojanz for keeping me company on irc and the help on coding ^^ I hope you are not mad at me
Droj for being my first friend on irc, too bad he did not let me in his village :s
Greb,Nivelheim,Ricky and Eso for helping me on my stupid short adventure ^^

And a big apology to Wiskybob for making the last couple days a hell for him

** I know my English sux, so try not to bother with finding grammer errors and **** as you always do on irc

Nice read, only knew you for a short time though

Too bad to see you go, you seemed a competent player, have fun in whatever you're up to next !

The only bug ever abused by GH is the 1 x 1 fields.

As for the inside info? I recently asked Jorb if the final mining system will be similar to the HnH one using a random name given by Mibbit and I received an answer pretty easily. Not hard for anyone, is it?

removed. anyway I dont want to be hated so I'll keep shut about it, just dont bs thanks

Apology accepted.
You were a troll but a good one. You were good at manipulating people i give you that. Pitty we had to go through so much *****.
And yeah I apologize as well.

Let me explain, because you're here pretty new [assuming this is your first ever account].
It all dates back to when the Chief, in all his noobiness, leaves a gazillion of scents next to Boston and wherever else he was killing the noobs. Alloin hits his place and let the forums know about it. Chief spends several hours wandering SW [he lived straight N from Boston] where he places a leanto in the lesser darkness [about 1-1,5 hours away from GH]. "Tracking bug" is "discovered". GH announced Bug Abusers.
BTK Siege - GH damages the braziers to >50% hitpoints in order to turn them off [anyone who was ever raiding can confirm that braziers deactivate after being damaged to >50%, what is most likely just a feature]. Baronbowden and Chief, unaware of the brazier mechanics announce the GH Bug Abusers again due to seeing 2 of the GH people destroying Eulogi's plot without a single brazier firing, where the braziers were already 'deactivated'.
GH is announced bug abusers for the second time. Some time later Chief passes his noob stages and learns about the brazier mechanics, which you can easily see, for example, in his "Going out of business" picture, where he does exactly the same thing, yet isn't a 'bug abuser'.

The blessed times are gone though.
One of the GH members builds a vault that at a first glance looks like impenetrable, in fact it's possible to enter it by simply walking in. Chief doesn't call GH abusers due to not knowing the mechanics anymore though. Anything done by GH, illegal or not, is now only considered Bug Abusing for the purpose of Chief's propaganda.


Don't name a thread secrets of Salem when you know nothing about secrets of Salem.

Also, you can look up the bug tracker anytime and you will see a lot of bugs submitted [of which some are already fixed] by noone else, but the GH member/s.

so you are not using instant climbing and reported it. ok thanks

Prove it that I am using instant climbing.
It's reported in the bug tracker, get a clue.

Also, I'm not GH member, so I don't know what you're trying to prove there.
Nice secrets from somebody who doesn't know a **** about anything.

I will say it again, the only bug abused by GH was the 1x1 fields. And seeing as how this bug is here forever it apparently isn't that important for the devs [I myself would however prioritize things the other way though].

So defencive/offensive lately !

No, it's stingmoggie offending others in here.
