Greetings,

We have follow-up news on the recent "Grandfathered" Iso-8 exploit/bug.

We became aware of a situation involving reclaiming Iso-8 from past S.H.I.E.L.D. ranks (normally earned the first time players log in after updating to R108). When looking at the data, only a small percentage of people experienced this bug (roughly .4% of the total game population) and even fewer people exploited it (roughly .02% of the total game population).

We have dealt with those accounts that we have judged as intentionally exploiting the bug and will take no action against those who may have unknowingly encountered the bug.

In the future, we will expand our testing efforts to catch these kinds of bugs. Thank you to everyone that brought this to our attention or elaborated upon how they encountered it. We appreciate the community's effort in keeping the game fair and fun for everyone.

Hello,

A heads-up that we are aware that a very small amount of players are gaining the 1-time Iso-8 bonus multiple times from the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank feature.

We are able to detect accounts that have received this Iso-8, be it unintentionally or intentionally, and are deliberating what action to take to correct the matter. We strongly advise players not to purposefully participate in this exploit as we consider correctional matters.

Thank you.
