Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 01.31.11 @ 7:00pm

[url][/url]

Update4:

Hello Maplers,

We have successfully blocked most of the exploited mesos but unfortunately there were some that did release into the game economy.
Below are the amounts of mesos that hackers attempted to add into the game worlds. Please note, we were successful in blocking most of these mesos from entering the game economy.
We have identified the accounts that hacked the game and have taken action against them.

We will continue to monitor for any additional problems.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

And thank you for your support.

Scania: 2 and half days worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Bera: 2 days worth mesos of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Broa: 1 and a half days worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Windia: 1 and a half days worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Khaini: 1 day worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited after the rollback. Before the rollback, over a week’s worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited.
Bellocan: 1 and a half days worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Mardia: 1 day worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited
Kradia: 2 and a half days worth of mesos were attempted to be exploited

At last we are pleased to announce that we have fixed the meso hacking problem. We apologize for the extended down time, however we wanted to make sure we resolved the problem properly. MapleStory will be available again at the following time:

PST – 8:00 AM, Tuesday, February 01, 2011
EST – 11:00 AM, Tuesday, February 01, 2011

Because of this game outage, we will hold the following event:
• 2x EXP/Drops on Friday 2/4 @ 4:00 – 6:00 PM PST
• 2x EXP/Drops on Saturday 2/5 & Sunday 2/6 @ 2:00 – 4:00 PM PST
Cash Shop items will have their expiration date extended by 24 hours.

Khaini
Thanks to a few heroic Maplers, we were able to prevent the meso hack from severely impacting all game worlds. Unfortunately Khaini was the first world to be hacked, and so the damage was very great. Despite our best efforts to avoid this situation, we will need to revert the game state of Khaini to the following: 3:30 AM on Monday, January 31, 2011.

Khainians, fear not! You will be specially compensated for this issue as follows:

• 2x EXP/Drops on Friday 2/4 @ 4:00 – 7:00 PM PST
• 2x EXP/Drops on Saturday 2/5 & Sunday 2/6 @ 1:00 – 4:00 PM PST
• Cash Shop items will have their expiration date extended by 48 hours
• 10,000 Maple Points for users logged in between 1/31 2:00 AM PST – 1/31 7:00 PM PST
• NX & Maple Points refund if spent between 1/31 2:00 AM PST – 1/31 7:00 PM PST

We cannot express our appreciation enough for Maplers who continue to show us support even during stressful times!

[COLOR="red"]*Update*

A few more hours is required to prepare the fix for the exploit and the game is expected to be available in the early morning hours. Once we have received the fix to test we will post an estimated time for the unscheduled maintenance to be completed. Thank you!

Dear Players,

A serious meso exploit has been discovered in MapleStory so we will be performing an unscheduled maintenance on all game servers immediately. This maintenance will last until further notice.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Wow Nexon pulled a fast one on this exploit. Props to them. :f6:

*applause* Good job NEXON. Seems like less patching gives them more time to hurry and jump up to fix stuff like this. I've never seen them move so fast.

This is the third unscheduled maintenance in a week. Seems like hackers are having a field day with v.95.

I really hope they dont make a rollback, i made 7% today and im Lv 187! Do you guys have any idea how long it took me to get 7%? D':

Well, the forums was spammed 100000000000000000000000000000 times with the exploit so that's probably why they responded so fast

Welp, apparently we got rollbacked. I was level 125 with about 80% when I got DC'd. I checked myself on the rankings, and I'm level 124 with about 3%. That's where I was this morning.

It takes many hours for ranking to update usually. There may still be a rollback, but not yet.

-Snip-

They better not rollback and just remove the mesos gained from the exploit.... I went from 122 to 125 on my mechanic since the last mini patch i dont want to relevel again >.>

Great... first rollback of 2011?

Hopefully not.

Rankings update daily at 12AM PST. So, you have till then to figure out.

I got 9% and made about 125m, its not by any means a lot but I like money...

So punish the legits by having the hackers buy all their items with the duped mesos, keep the items and remove all the mesos from the legits in addition to losing their items? Not gonna happen.

The exploit from what I see wasn't even out long enough to cause damage.
