Yes they should extend all CS items and such 24 hours, but really why would this warrant a 2x event. I seriously doubt the power company will compensate Nexon for all the lost revenue during this time period, not to mention the added expenses for having to bring everything back up.
The power out was not Nexon's fault.
However, the power has been up and stable for hours now, and Maple is still down.
Apparently, the crash caused severe damage to their database, which they are still trying to repair.
This *is* their fault.
Designing a database in such a way that abrupt power loss can cause it that kind of damage, and not providing the db server (or the entire server farm) with a UPS to prevent such abrupt power loss, is their fault.
As for what the electric company will or will not compensate Nexon for, I couldn't care less. It does not affect Nexon's liability, such as it is, to its own customers.
