Scheduled Server Maintenance - 01.03.2012 - TrueBlitz - 2012-01-04
It's nice to see Golden Temple open again and free of charge (still questioning this) after all these new Cannoneers and Merecedes hogging all the favorable spots. I would much rather prefer training there at Lvl 110+ than at LHC for said reasons.
These "Everyday" Hot Time events are a mixed bag for me. Unless the rewards are nerfed beyond worth getting them, I usually don't like servers being all jammed and packed up during the hours of me training.
2x Exp event every weekday is expected from Nexon.
I'm not gonna bother asking why Nexon took this long to respond back and why no mention of all these exploits/hacks, as under the assumption that Nexon's probably working on these issues as we speak.

I bet hottime will give that envelope that has a chance to give cool things and usually gives fame and some personality usable that gives +5 personality points - certianly nothing exciting for everyone like free character slots and level up potions.
And if free entry means multiple times a day by one character without doing anything I'll be suprised. I bet they give that quest that says guess what golden temple is open go try it (one free ticket) and then the quest of recycled tickets for multiple entries.
And 2x in the middle of the afternoon.... well I'll be at work every day. They must be trying to appeal to kids again.

Hmm.
While it is a scheduled maintenance, not everything in it has to have been planned in advance.
Obviously the first bullet, "If you didn't receive your guaranteed items from the 12/23 Hot Time event, you will be compensated", hadn't been planned since the patch. (Unless you believe Nexon knew their Hot Time would fail and planned for that).
No knowing how many of the other hodgepodge collection of events were pre-planned and how many tossed in just today in a desperate attempt to keep people playing. (It's not compensation if the issue hasn't been resolved, obviously). Golden Temple especially, if it really is free entry, is coincidentally very useful for people under 120 who don't want to compete with hackers for Chimney and MP3 maps.
Too bad GT is useless for higher levels, who are the ones most hurt by LHC being hacker-world. And of course the hackers benefit from the 2x...
I wonder why the maintenance is so short and with no world transfers and name changes. They could easily add another couple of hours and do those things, we wouldn't notice since it would be "standard length" for a maintenance.
I still hope they will find a way to sneak in a fix for the familiar hack and coin exploit :-(

They'll sneak in the fix that they find during the scheduled SC times via multiple extensions! Like the worlds slowest ninja.
Pretty worthless SC if they don't fix the blindingly obvious issues though.

The "coin exploit" doesn't exist.
And they said they'd do world transfers to windia in the next maintanence
they said that 3 weeks ago

Maybe the daily hot time is just something like: Get 100% x10 Legend Coins and if you are lucky, you can get x or y items.
Maybe O.o

Who are you referring to? All the "legits" who claims that boosted maps are totally fine or the handful of players who never sat foot at LHC after the boosting idiocy started. If they struck down on everybody 110+ that leveld more than 10 levels they would still ban mostly those that deserve it. x)

I was about to say, I guarantee you that 90-95% of people who went to LHC this past week or two deserve to be banned.

Also should be funny to watch the idiots rage in confusion all over basil when they can't patch their client because they edited the files without making a backup.

I used to feel really sorry for people who could honestly call themselves legit, and got banned. Then LHC hacks got out of hand.
Now I just laugh, don't even have an arrow in my knee or anything.

It's their standard operating procedure to milk money out of a feature then make it more readily available to the plebes in an ever increasing over-indulgence so that the best is never best for long before something comes along to make it look boring and ordinary.
That I can believe, having seen it time and time again. On the other hand, since nexon really has said nothing, I don't think it's possible to say for certain if all the events were planned out or not. It doesn't matter in the least whether or not that's correct right now anyway.

The only time Nexon ever announces "extra special things" is when there has been downtime caused by whatever issue is going on.
They do absolutely everything they can to not publicly acknowledge hacks even if most of the public is already well aware of them.
Every time they address an issue, they do so begrudgingly.
Nexon's like a bad boyfriend that buys you flowers "for no reason" when it's really trying to create positive feelings lest you find out about its awful indiscretion.
Not sure what features you believe they've made more readily available, but I certainly can't think of any.

What better way to make a quick sweep and destroy Familiar hackers than to entice them to all be online at one time and training at obviously popular maps (GT for <120 and LHC for >120)?
Obviously, Nexon doesn't work weekends, so do it during the week when they're clocked in (at least physically).
Saves them from having to mess with any tickets, and they still get to pretend they made a big impact.
Of course, this is what I would do.
History says that Nexon ain't gonna do pomegranate.

Except I'm not sure GMs can enter instanced mini-dungeons. Even if they can, it'd obviously take quite a bit of time to scan them all.
Would have been easier to do the daily 2x without GT, and find the hackers at Jesters and MP3.

Exactly what I think. Sorry Eos, can't agree with you here.
I'm not saying that this is compensation, but still they're being WAY too nice than usual with their crap and guess when..? Right after a TOTAL DISASTER in the game.
Now, as Sapta already pointed out, there is no way we can know which events were planned for this maintenance and which were not. But usually they just don't toss so many "great" events in just ONE maintenance, and seeing how they did it right after what happened makes me feel they're trying to keep as many people playing as they can.
Still, their silence about the current situation is very irritating to say the least. It's as if they realised they can't keep up with all this pomegranate anymore, so they're trying to milk the last drops until the game completely dies. Because yeah, if drastic measures aren't taken, that's what will eventually happen.
I'm not being catastrophic. The issue isn't "just" more than 50% of the current population going around and one-hit-k.o.ing everything they find in their ways, people being able to ignore scrolls' destroy rates and all the other exploits out right now. There's also an hacking issue right now, and it might or might not be related to the database leaks. If it's true that some people got hacked even after recently changing their passwords, then it is NOT, and that's much worse as it means there's a way to access people's accounts in other ways we don't know of.
You'd expect them to address the issue or at least acknowledge it.
Nope, Chuck Testa (or should I say Nexon?)

Given that Hime only found out about the familiar hack yesterday, I'm pretty much certain that this wasn't an 'oh, let's try and make it up to them' thing. Either way, now that they're at least aware of it we can expect something to happen within the next 6 months.
