Does the server use cheat detection?

I've never used either of those items and can live without them, so I don't care.

I am a bit worried about what will happen to my huge stash of burning pearls in one game, though.

We need to determine whether we want the Version 2.13. enabled. Is cheat detection is always enabled, this is no work around. So we have to choose between
  • The old Version --- no mods, no Scratti and so on
  • The new Version, but using certain artifacts will get you unpopular.
What do you say, people? Mark and Zap seems to prefer staying put.

I vote to stay put for the time being. There may be additional quirks to the anti-cheating that have yet to be discovered.

Seems safer to stay where we are until it tested further.

i think the gains outnumber the losses. in fact, we only know of two losses so far, mummies from amon hotep which is no big deal, since the helm is better used for a fighting SC, and the djinn.

basically, all we lose of importance is the djinn, and even that is rather minor. you just need to inform your fellow players about these two quirks.

otoh, there are a large number of nice little fixes in 2.13
I would rather go over. I have a bunch of burning peals myself, but they were always obviously incorrect.

I'd vote for the new patch as well. I'd like to give a Crystal Amazon a hug for the 1st time since Dom1...

If we could wait a day or two until I use my burning pearls to crush Abysia, I'd definitely support upgrading

Ok, I'm sort of kidding about that. I'd vote for the patch because I've never even thought about getting either of those two items and don't think that them not being there would be a huge loss.
