But yes, sadly, we have to adapt and move on. I'm even duping my own scrolls now since this game is already ruined.

(and before someone starts flaming, the flamers need to adapt, too. There's no going back. Ever since the DDOS attacker wave has taken down huge companies, it's been proven that there isn't a thing Nexon can do about hackers besides suing them. You can't defend your server without taking down the source of the problem.
Nexon had many many chances years ago to curtail this from happening. Simply by hiring player mods and using some of their RECORD Profits (does anyone remember that Nexon made MORE profit in 2008 than the giant Electronic Arts?) to hire more gms and work on more advanced security that doesn't ban legit players.
This is all the more proof and reason why Asian companies simply fail in international markets. You don't see any American gaming companies dealing with their servers constantly assaulted by pimple faced teenagers, people with mental and anger issues, no life gangsters, and drug addicts and social deviants (which makes up 90% of the hacker population...i've met some of them, so I should know).
