Zero mention of what the issues is? That can't be good.

Anyone happen to know what this maintenance is for? :f6:

Came out of nowhere...

No notice beforehand? pomegranate must have gone down, sons.

Funny how I was talking about implosions in-game...then this happened.
Wonder what's up...dupers,channel crashers,or someone tripped over a plug?

inb4 CHTP drops from Pink Bean again.

Saw people giving out Dominator Pendants and white scrolls on Scania.

Seems legit.

Reason:
-Changes and Updates-
A hack involving Fredrick has been block, certain accounts found using the hack have been trade blocked, and certain suspicious accounts in relation to this have been trade blocked while they're investigated.

Wonder how long this has been going around.

EDIT: Servers are back up.

So accounts that have been found using the hack have been trade blocked while accounts who might have been selling mesos, farming, etc. were BillingPPed? Sounds like a step in the right direction here, right guise?

I do hope that Nexon doesn't do the billingpp crap again or tradeblocking to my account. I've got 1.8b currently by selling HTP/merchanting.

Oh wow. Intentionally hellbanning suspicious players? Then investigating later... Interesting.

Obviously. Haven't you realized yet that meso-selling is a far worse offense than any hack? Just look at the time GMs dedicate to banning meso-selling FM spambots, compared to hunting for hackers. And even when they go after hackers, it's the meso-seller farmer bots. Very very rarely do you see them going after actual players hacking at bosses or LHC - and those get unbanned after a day anyway.

I've got a metric pomegranateton of mesos sitting around myself, so I'm a little on edge after reading about those bans. Here's to hoping they don't go on another legit banning spree.

Possible dupe method with Frederick? What else would you do with that old geezer...

Unless you traded with said hackers and received a bunch of extremely expensive gear or pomegranate tons of mesos, I think you're fine. You guys are wayyyyy too paranoid about this.

Hacker surplus is way too common in FM; I'm sure I've merchanted items gained through illicit means off of other players. There's no way for me to tell though.

So many people front about being legit (not towards any of you guys posting). In my opinion anyone that is hellban should stay that way, everyone is going to cry i'm innocent on maple fan sites and actually deserved the ban.

Also for the billingp or w/e no one knows the actual cause for it. No one is going to openly admit to buying mesos. Around this time last year nexon did a temporary ban regarding those that bought mesos. All the people that got banned that i knew openly confessed that they did buy mesos.

There's a pretty big difference between an actual transaction with a hacker without knowing, and just being flat out GIVEN illicit equipment or mesos. Very large difference. I'm sure Nexon can tell the difference between the two.

Quick! Someone check if pink bean drops are broken again!
