Dead Crew Holder? Vistronic
After Helpx loves EL got shot, the Bootlegger's community was surprised to see the crew remain in the hands of a member that had been killed. Players started making threads in the Game Forum and created Help Desk Tickets. This caused Moderator VooDooDoll to create her own Sticky, putting an end to the threads and tickets being made.

In VooDooDoll's topic in the Game Forum, it stated "Yes we are aware it's being held by a dead user. I have notified an Admin to look through this and see why it did not drop and so forth. If I were to pass it on my own they would not be able to find the error so I need to leave it sit until that can be sorted. Now that you are aware of this there is not need to create ticket after ticket in regards to this. Thanks"

Provert then said "I think that the whole thing started when the 11th crew came along, ever since then there have been problems."

As most of you may know, when Winter Hill Gang were wiped it caused and 11th crew being made, this was then not recognized by the server as being a crew, just an anomaly, so it did not function like a normal crew.

It was only when The Imperium where later wiped which caused the 11th crew to seize to exist, returning everything back to normal. So when the 11th crew holder was indeed shot, the crew didn't drop because it wasn't a "crew", just some extra data.

In the end, the crew was passed to a holder that was still alive. The Buzz attempted to contact Sabin in order to find out more. However, since the Buzz got no reply, who passed the crew and what caused this bug remains unknown.
