i could smell a class action suit if this continues. i see the arguments on the Nexon site forum of the logic of "well as more ppl make accounts, more ppl get hacked-duh"....well as far as i know, in the past YEAR, only one friend was "hacked"-and that was thru being an idiot in their own right. I also had one friend lose items due to shared info.
Now I have FIFTEEN people on my buddylist that have been hit (albeit mostly on mules or older secondary accounts, and I see people in my server that I may not know but are steadily being hacked--old time players as well. Regardless of being children/idiots/whtever, none of these people strike me as being anything other than careful adult maplers...definitely not 100% of them all lying at once and dropping like flies.
I can definitely see a class action suit brought up to almost make an example out of Nexon for the entire gaming card industry. the suit would of course apply to NX-losses only--remember we can access on-site records of MTS transactions so Nexon also has these as well--so if you didnt lose raw cash, but lose say-a weapon or overall purchased via MTS NX cash-then that qualifies as well. The whole virtual online credit industry is a ginormous industry growing at an insane rate each year--to the point where virtual credit may one day overtake traditional giftcards. i'm sure some firm would love to make Nexon the giant industry fall-guy, not to mention the huge hubbub people love to make over online identity security and the fact that 2009 was an all time high for illegal immigrants stealing children's names to gain employment/credit/loans/insurance/AND HEALTHCARE. (i'll find source for this as i just read the article at work this week on our intra-net site-was healthcare related for my industry)
More than anything a lack of communication is a HUGE problem that should have been addressed at the beginning of december. I'm a lil ticked off that i have to keep mules on my accounts logged in 24/7 when i havent even been playing maple for the past 3-4 months, not to mention the 34$ i spent on year-long item locks that should be FREE. (and cost NX to remove)
