Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 01.06.2012

I just hope they don't go deleting every item with more than 200 weapon or magic attack. There are plenty of items that managed to get that far using legitimate means (well, unless they were GM scrolled with duped scrolls).

Nexon should do a Wonderking and close the game down and do a complete rebuild...nothing else will suffice.

A complete rebuild of MS's bloated ass client would take months. That's months of no cube sales!

Weapons? There are plenty of them. Other equips? Anything above 40 attack is gone.

Should be anything about 30, honestly.

I think I rather have them delete the items than reverse them. And besides how does that work?

They've done it before to HTP's, it's possible they can do it. But I agree, items over 12 stars should just be deleted.

Except for gloves. For everything else 20 is pushing it. We would not even have 27 att VSS if not for the dupes, possibly there would be a small number of 14 att ones though, but not many.

And shields.

Anyway, about time they did something. Now, we just wait and see how much they do right and how much they nexon.

I expect no bans to be given. Well, maybe to the people who smega'd the 255 ATK equips.

Nah, who am I kidding.

That’s my thoughts too, not quite time to do a backflip just yet. Patching up the exploits is one thing but clearing up the mess afterwards and banning those involved is a different matter.

L>for hellbans for anyone setting foot in FM or LHC these last week,

Are you serious? Do you want like....the entire ms population to be hell banned or something? Calm down.

If the entire population has been training with the hackers at LHC, yea I do. The FM part was mostly a jape though. x)

People who killed some Castle Golems to do the Von Leon quests would get hellbanned too f3.

So i go LHC to investigate who in my friend's list is leeching off hackers and my guild leader does the same for the guild. I should get hell banned for that? Because im sure plenty of us have done the same. Rethink what you said.
I really wouldn't want you as a nexon employee. You have one extreme view there.

The only people that should be hellbanned are people in Khaini.

How about....they hellban/perma ban the actual people who exploited/hacked/hack-leeched.

NO DO BROA.

If only hackers didn't decide to make Khaini their home, for whatever reason.

Whats stoping those people from just starting over in another world?


For those that miss the interesting convo last night. Nexon has to go threw everything to find these items. That one guy said they even go as far as locking items so they dont get deleted in the sweep. Also they have items that are not scrolled yet, but only have xxx amount of free slots.

I wasn't actually being serious. I was taking a jab back at him because my home server is Khaini.

Since rollback is pretty much out of the question, what form of consequences that DON'T affect the legits can Nexon really offer?

Deleting items/banning users with items that go above a certain threshold is a bad, bad idea. While you will get the hackers, you'll also get a bunch of legits. (It's important to note that Nexon will probably determine the "cap" to be way too low and for this reason a lot of legit players could be in trouble too.)

But other than method above ^, I don't really see a proper resolution. Thoughts?
