It looks like someone has found an item duplicating glitch again (related to all the site glitches or co-incidence? Who knows?). Take a look at the trades or auctions for "super attack pea" and see for yourself! For example, at the time of writing, user "loveitinthebackyard", who started playing yesterday, is auctioning five Super Attack Peas. Supposedly, the site went down yesterday and this glitch was patched, but if so, duplicated items weren't purged.
It would of course be terrible and unfair for TNT to freeze people who buy items in good faith but which are later revealed to be copied. Therefore, you may expect TNT to do so. Even if TNT don't go freeze-happy, they'll presumable eventually remove the copied items and you won't get refunded.
Meanwhile, money accrued from selling fraudulent goods is being laundered back into the economy by over-bidding on auction items by by several million Neopoints - I don't know if we can expect those to disappear as well or not.
Reddit is predicting a roll-back of the site, I am predicting a lot of freezing.
Don't buy anything, set your preferences to not receive items from strangers, and wait this out.
edit: also, on an unrelated note, isn't it terrible that TNT have fostered such a climate of fear over their website that players are afraid of being frozen just for playing it at all? "What if I get frozen for not actually doing anything wrong, but because I buy something that's been duplicated even though there is no way for me to know it has been duplicated? What if I get frozen for not actually doing anything wrong, but because someone gives me something duplicated? What if I get frozen for not actually doing anything wrong, but for selling something to someone who abused the glitch, which I don't actually have any control over...?"
Thanks for the warning!!
And yes. It is. We recently lost a very dear member from unfair freezing.
