Yes those are packet loss errors. Ive already dug into this. Cheating is almost impossible with all data being stored on the server in the SQL DB at least from the client side. Server side dupes are possible. .
Its not possible to create an item client side and dupe because of the multiple tables with ID prefix and constraints..
It is however very easy to bot in this game, speed hacks, macros and auto targeting. None of which are of much use on a population so small. These methods are done by screen macros and man in the middle packet traces.
the only real exploit now is server side infinity piles which is sort of a work around for mining freezing issues because the DB is locked when blocks are removed during mining.
