you're putting way too much faith in the system. i take it you haven't seen renewal items showing up on the classic server? how do you think they got there?
Never heard of that, and I don't play such. However with that said, while it might not be "super" easy to do, but items should be easy to allow a older server to have. As long as it can't do a skill that doesn't exist, it shouldn't be hard for a admin to pull such off.
items tagged with 3rd jobs in addition to non-3rd jobs, shouldn't matter, since equipment(if coded correctly) should only be checking the character's job, that is trying to put it on, not the database(only equipment that triggers skills should ever be checking the database, to know what the skill does).
To Facekiller: Yea either that or by hacking/modifying the save file. Tetra Master, which was hosted along side FF 11, had a flawed save file writing system that allowed people to dupe cards, just by DCing for crying outloud.
It's bazaar though, things like mail box type system, with ways to abuse it to dupe items, is usually only seen in single player games, so that had to have been a really major screw up to say the least. Does kRO even test that system, before tossing in on the live servers?
