Dear Maplers,

Last week we had an issue with 6th Anniversary coins where exploiters were able to illegally generate thousands of coins to use to flood the market with exploited Anniversary items. Those responsible have been banned from the game along with illegitimate Anniversary coins and any mesos gained by selling illegitimate Anniversary items.

In regards to Chaos Scrolls that other users obtained, unfortunately, there were still too many illegitimate Chaos Scrolls in the game. We will not ban players that kept the scrolls in question but some accounts have had their Chaos Scrolls removed. We understand many players bought the scrolls with mesos not knowing the items were exploited, but we need to emphasize that many of the scrolls existing in game were never meant to be there. We sincerely apologize for legitimate players who are affected by this. We are doing our best to not impact our players negatively.

Thank you for your understanding during this issue. Your support and loyalty means a great deal to us.

-The MapleStory team-

Quote:All players that abused this exploit will be banned, however we understand that some players may have simply made a poor decision, so all players will be given until 5/15/2011 to voluntarily remove the exploited items from their accounts by selling them to an NPC for 0 mesos. If all exploited items are removed in time, you will not be banned

Oh my... That's the best laugh I've had in years.

Notice how they say the ones who abused the exploit? Meaning the hackers who did it and not just those who bought up a bunch of scrolls.

Abysseon Wrote:They also stated that those who chose to keep the exploited scrolls will also be banned.



But instead of banning them, they just removed the exploited scrolls from some of the accounts while the rest managed to keep them on separate mules.



So yes, they were bluffing by using a scare tactic to get players to remove the exploited items on their own but it seems that their trust was misplaced...

MetaSeraphim Wrote:No they didn't. What they said can be taken literally as they banned all the exploiters who did it, but legits who bought the exploited scrolls were not banned.
