1) Rings. Nexon rolled back 3 days, and the only compensation for people who fought the instability to actually level their rings on those days was an extension... so they could waste more hours on those rings.
I believe they should have given everyone 3 free ring upgrade potions.
2) Storm Growth Potions. Those are wonderful, except it turned out you can't use them on the same char that used such a potion previously (from Hot Times). That was mean and unnecessary, although I'm sure Nexon didn't even know about that feature of the item. It's probably there to prevent "abuse", but seriously, if this is the char I was trying to train while all the crashing was going on, the char who probably lost more than one level from the rollback, the least you can do is give me that one free level.
It's true that all the 3x more than made up for whatever training was lost, but still. If you're giving out a free level, make sure it works.
Other than that, yeah, very generous compensation.
And most importantly, they did stabilize the servers, at least for a while. I wonder whether whatever's plaguing Scania, Bera, and Broa right now is related to those "hardware malfunctions."
The bolded part is false. I've gotten 3 Storm Growth potions on my Dark Knight, 2 from the merc/demon slayer hot times and the compensation. I successfully used all three with no hiccups.
