"Lockdown" Error Code 38 data gathering.

Now that you guys are where you are, it appears to me that this is exactly the same Error 38 that haunted us during the Visitor Event era. It took them a long time to originally fix it. We used to pass potions and other things around our guild so that we could by CS items. I haven't read in high detail here, but the item count should include your equipped gear, too. It was a real pain, but once you knew your magic number you could avoid the issue, which enabled us to get our 2x cards again.

The problem is some people (like me) are at phase 3-b, total lockdown (I'll add a description on the first post). So I can't even unlock my character now.
