Problem with motion blur item?

[WarriorCam]

I've had reports and seen this happen myself. From what I understand, the "motion blur" item sold over graal shop can sometimes freeze Graal and cause computers to bog down quite a lot. It happened to me about a week ago when someone put it on, and it happened to everyone else in the level as well. Earlier today a GP jailed someone for using this item to intentionally freeze people up. While I explained to the GP that we shouldn't jail people for using content they paid for, it is no doubt abusable. I have seen it work when one person used it, but from what I understand there have been at least two separate incidents in which this item's use caused everyone in the level to freeze. It is possible it was another item though, I am not entirely sure, this is just what it is believed to be.

Anyone know anything about this?

Doesn't the motion blur item only affect the client that uses it?

I've seen someone who had it walking around with the motion blurs trailing behind them, so no, I don't think so.

Unless by that you meant they're the only one who gets the effect. In which case, yes, but everyone else can see it.

Edit:
Tested the global_motionblur gani and it totally freezes Graal and disconnects my messengers. My router starts flashing orange to indicate I have lost connection, AIM goes and it doesn't come back until I exit Graal, after which point I have to go into my attributes and change my gani before logging back in.

It's the thing that makes it appear as if your player has a motion blur behind it, not the "drunk" thing.

Oh, so a trail.

On which server did it happen? The item is surely working fine, it's just displaying a simple effect. I've however heard of problems on Unholy Nation because they have changed the systems for zooming etc.
