Server crash/disconnection == free stuff!

I picked up a Big Green Bag full of crops in Middle Arbor. The server had some kind of problem and I got the "oh dear, please reload" screen. I reloaded, went back to Middle Arbor still carrying the Big Green Bag... and there's another Big Green Bag, with the same crops in it.

Not that I'm not thankful to have extra crops, but I'm assuming this is not how the world is supposed to behave.

@CraigCottingham Did you actually get another bag, or did it go away when you reloaded?

[krisalyssa]

I actually got another bag. I'm assuming that a "add to my inventory" message was processed before the server crashed/disconnected, but the corresponding "remove from the street" message was not.

That's probably exactly what happened. We do it in that order because it prevents the opposite from happening. A user complaint about getting another bag isn't is angry as a user complaint about losing a bag 😄
