Crimsonwood Keep PQ Closure

Half the exploits are extensions of things that were "fixed" in a specific case but not for the underlying issue. Neither of us play the game anymore but we saw so many bugs in the code that we know where similar exploits will pop up.

Nexon fixing exploits is like putting duct tape over a cracked, rusting pipe - fixing the immediate issue but ignoring the underlying problem. Even with many of us specifically telling Nexon "hey, this pipe is rusted, right here, this is why it's rusted" and they still continue to ignore it. And half the time they'll ban you for knowing too much about an exploit.

You know, people say "MapleStory is old, that's why it's so hard to maintain."
But I took Programming 101 back in 1982, and even then we were already taught to never copy-paste code, always use functions or procedures.
The fact that Nexon insists on copy-pasting code, and then fixing one instance but neglecting to fix a dozen others, is just mind-boggling to me. How can such a huge project be developed like that?
