They can't do selective rollbacks.
The term "rollback" is misleading, it makes people think of something rewinding, undoing actions one by one.
In fact, what we call "rollback" in maplestory is simply a restore from a savepoint. They would simply overwrite the current database with the backup they (presumably) took during the previous maintenance.
Attempting to roll back only specific characters will lead to inconsistencies in the database.
What they could, conceivably, do, is de-level these characters but leave their other attributes intact. Not by a "rollback" but by updating the data, same as they did with deleting certain "exploited" items or meso.
It would be tricky business and I doubt they'd bother.
I expect they will either do nothing or randomly ban some people.
