[MSEA]Actions taken against player who abused the "Newcomer Reward" event

What else could they have done? Let it go?...

Attention Maplers,

MapleSEA will be holding an emergency server check starting from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. The site will be up during this server check. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Dear Maplers,

During the morning of [when this happened], several players abused a glitch and gained billions of mesos in the process. In order to reverse the effects on the Maplestory economy, we have rolled back the server to the way it was 24 hours ago. In compensation for those that were leveling yesterday, we will be holding a 2x event for 12 hours every day this week.

o.o why 12 hours every day of the week in exchange for 24 hours? why not just 4 hours for 6 days?

Because not everyone can fit a certain 4-hour block for maplestory into their lives? I think what Thunda posted is what should happen every time a situation as bad as this one or the bigfoot glitch surfaces.

well,there is another update in the website:

 Spoiler

Dear Maplers,
Please be informed that players who were found abusing the glitch in the "Newcomer Reward" event between 21st January 2009 to 2nd February 2009 has been suspended for investigation.

3. List of items sold to obtain the meso (If any).
   
4. Abuse of glitch in the "Newcomer Reward" event. (Yes/No)
   

Investigation will be done based on case by case basis.

We would like to remind all players that fair play is very important in this community.
All offending Characters found abusing the in-game glitch will have their inventory Partially* reset before releasing. (No compensation will be done for this issue)
During the suspension period, Asiasoft will not be liable for any A-cash/Cash item running in the account. No compensation will be made for any cash item.

Asiasoft had already shown lots of improvement as compared to year 2004~2007.

It used to have VERY little employees in the Q-Box and your emails sent will be replied in more than a month or so.. and once something happened, they will simply ignore it.

Despite the large amount of players banned and massive Email sent to them, Asiasoft still replied me withnin 3 working days regarding my equires about something.

Well considering this happened "between 21st January 2009 to 2nd February 2009", (13 days if im not wrong) It would be harder and cause many more problems if they rolled back all servers.
