Dear Maplers,
Last week we had an issue with 6th Anniversary coins where exploiters were able to illegally generate thousands of coins to use to flood the market with exploited Anniversary items. Those responsible have been banned from the game along with illegitimate Anniversary coins and any mesos gained by selling illegitimate Anniversary items.
In regards to Chaos Scrolls that other users obtained, unfortunately, there were still too many illegitimate Chaos Scrolls in the game. We will not ban players that kept the scrolls in question but some accounts have had their Chaos Scrolls removed. We understand many players bought the scrolls with mesos not knowing the items were exploited, but we need to emphasize that many of the scrolls existing in game were never meant to be there. We sincerely apologize for legitimate players who are affected by this. We are doing our best to not impact our players negatively.
Thank you for your understanding during this issue. Your support and loyalty means a great deal to us.
-The MapleStory team-

Oh my... That's the best laugh I've had in years.

So they were bluffing...not a good sign when it comes to future exploiters/hackers.

Notice how they say the ones who abused the exploit? Meaning the hackers who did it and not just those who bought up a bunch of scrolls.

Interesting. I wonder if they got only the correct ones.
Well my legitimate chaos scrolls were still there and I wasn't banned.
That's nice I guess.
One person claimed wrongful ban:

They basically didnt ban those who bought a crap load of chaos. They just removed them. I wish they did this for my friend during the first chaos exploit  She only had 5 chaos in her inventory and she got perma ban at 198..

Tossed all 40 of my legitimately gained pinks due to leaving them on my valued main account which I wasn't interested in taking chances with. Good to know I just dropped 600m for no reason now, online friend still has 94 knowingly exploited pinks. Allegedly chaoses were safe if stowed away in the warehouse.

And to think, there wouldn't be any wrongful bans if they did a rollback like they should have, lol.

They also stated that those who chose to keep the exploited scrolls will also be banned.

But instead of banning them, they just removed the exploited scrolls from some of the accounts while the rest managed to keep them on separate mules.

So yes, they were bluffing by using a scare tactic to get players to remove the exploited items on their own but it seems that their trust was misplaced...

I have a lvl 30 mule and it went up 5k in rank. I think nexon knows to check low lvl characters below 70 for scrolls. Those are usually the account that get banned the most

No they didn't. What they said can be taken literally as they banned all the exploiters who did it, but legits who bought the exploited scrolls were not banned.
