Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.28.2012

America >> Korea. Long discussions about why, how, when, etc. (mostly BS)
Korea makes changes. Korea tests. Korea makes new patch files / changes to server-side scripts where appropriate.
Korea >> America
America tests. Implements.
Regular server tests after every server check.
Servers online.

More stuff than you might think. Most of it comes down to operating procedures, so no matter how small the bug may be, there is a certain minimum amount of time it'll take (few hours).

America >> Korea "SOOOOOO....we fucked up again..."
Korea >> America "

 .......

>Cue Super Koreans to find/fix bug, then sends patch to America.

All is saved.

 >NexonAM the entire time during the downtime.

Why RB when you can just ban

It'd take them longer to figure out who to ban than to rollback 24 hours or whatever.
It'll come down to estimates like that determining what they'll do.

They didn't RB nor banned. As expected. Abusers win, once again.

games up...

If they do ban, it wouldn't have been now. They'll need some time to generate the appropriate list of people. That being said, it may or may not happen.

Pretty much. :I

When was the last time nexon did a rollback anyway?

Friend was banned for glitch abuse just sayin

Immediately after the maintenance? Mind checking what type of ban it was? (length & what message).

30 day. Wasn't banned before is banned now. Just says for "hacking".

Really?

Yep. He abused on an unused account he used for an event to test the glitch. Did 100-120 before mait

Me and me friend abused it, didn't get banned. Guess it's just luck then lol

It may have been dependent on the level of abuse. Going from 100~120 in that span of time probably triggered the ban.

Maybe, but the weird thing is I leveled my char from 8x to 10x, so did my friend. We did it in the last minute before maintenance started lol

Throwaway account didn't get affected in any way...

I miss the days when more players were less open about their abuse of glitches of this scale.

Maybe admitting to glitch abuse should be added up there with admitting to hacking to curb the sense that it's OK and everybody does it.

At what point do you believe Nexon America fucked up?

Nexon Korea is the one who wrote the code that allowed the exploit.
To expound, Nexon Korea is the one who writes the code that allows every exploit.

it may or may not happen.

Those would be the two options.

Oh no, it's quantum - It may or may not happen, or both may occur, just to differing levels to differing accounts.

btw; In their defense, saying "we" to refer to Nexon as a whole, rather than individual division, isn't impossible.

Hacking =/= Glitching.

Glitch is Nexon's fault and why wouldn't people abuse it knowing the horrible Nexon company won't do anything about it? Also, people been abusing glitched LHC's for a LONG time now.

To be honest, I though they would ATLEAST RB like 12-24 hours, but we know Nexon is just getting worse and worse as the time passes.
