![]() ![]() Gameloft has posted on Facebook that they’re looking into all this and everything should return back to normal later today, but how do you even unroll from this? Rumors are spreading that players have had access to test boxes for months now and have been selling items and gold, and if that is true, this is going to be one hell of a mess for Gameloft to clean up, as who knows how detailed their logging even is to trace this all back, if it’s possible to roll back at all. We’ve been told test boxes have been spreading like wildfire over the last couple days, and the state of the game right now is, in a word, chaos. The above video shows what it all looks like in action, but using the test box, players can do nearly anything they want in game, from creating infinite gold to creating items, from summoning any mount in the game to… infinitely creating additional test boxes to give to other players. In the case of Order & Chaos, those functions seem to be done through this test box which contains what are supposed to be GM-only spells and other functions, which anyone who possesses the test box can use. ![]() It’s not a unique thing to Order & Chaos by any means, MMORPG history is full of surprisingly hodge podge ways that these games are held together, whether it’s through special items, secret commands, or other stuff that GM’s use to fix player problems and keep the game running like a well oiled machine. What is the “test box?" Well, it appears to be a big piece of the toolkit that GM’s (or “Game Masters," the online support people in an MMO) use to do things in games. Apparently a player in Order & Chaos (And again, we’re talking the first one, not the sequel Order & Chaos 2: Redemption (Free).) got access to something that players are referring to as the “test box" and things have been going nuts ever since. This is one of those pieces of MMO history that I feel like happens way more often than you’d think, but you only ever read about after the fact. Gameloft just can’t seem to catch a break lately- They’ve got studios closing up left and right, and this weekend hackers have absolutely been going crazy in Order & Chaos Online (Free), their WoW-like MMO which launched in late 2011.
