What are some bugs that Tibia experienced?

I am curious to hear stories of what bugs Tibia has experienced in the past. I was intrigued by this because of the history of the Dread DollDread Doll I read in an article recently in which I paste my sources below. I am in no way trying to glamorize bugs or bug abuse, nor should any responses. I just think that this would be an interesting read to see how many outrageous things had happened and what was the outcome or resolution to fix said bug.

Unfortunately, the summer update also came with two bugs that caused plenty of discussions, sweat and bug fixing rounds for CipSoft employees: Out of nowhere, one of the fansite items simply kept on spawning in the Thaian temple, and it did not take long before the once pretty rare dread dolls were owned by many players.
The other bug allowed players to illegally receive experience points. Even though a rollback of the servers could be prevented, the word "rollback" was probably the most dominant in our forums during that time.
Also in July, a new feature for the Beta Flash client was implemented. Maps from the stand-alone client could finally be imported.

Due to a map bug with Update 9.1 that took place in Thais Castle throne room, it spawned during 2 days after server save, which led to some players from all game worlds briefly obtaining this fansite item. With that mistake reported, CipSoft later turned it into a Doll (Dread) - as can be read on this news article and this Auditorium post - for some months, and then was changed into a Fan Doll of Queen Eloise. The original Dread Doll was reintroduced and given back to the original fansite contest winners in Update 9.2.
