Half-loading codes 24/7, credit-draining scripting and mistyped codes 16 hours a day are no longer a just a thing of the past, of v2. Long after Brando announced they would return that same weekend, Weirdgoku was more than happy to reveal codes are back, and they are to stay.

This is more than likely focused on the "free scripters", players who would turn scripts on when their accounts had no codes, a big loophole in the system that admins could have expected from day 1.
Some say that admins purely did it for the money, that with codes all day long a lot more people would resort to using Lackeys, or that scripters would find their scripts too expensive now that they blast through their precious piles of credits in an instant, which in turn would get them hooked on Lackeys as well, but this is most likely just the same old, but still popular, admin-hatin'.

So after more than a year without codes all day, they're back, one of the first times in recent Omerta history admins reversed such an immense change in the game.

But what about the b/n penalty, since there is already an online-time-timer on top of it? Only time will tell if the developers will take away some of the cluttering restrictions on every aspect of the game and in turn rely on their newest and more dependable measures instead of piling one half-assed restriction on top of the other one.
