brb, turning in ticket to unlock worthless for disposal...

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it.

credits to spadow and insoya:

there are more type of LOCK in KMS, and they expire, 7/30/90 days, maybe the gm got confused with those type of LOCK

Spoiler

its KMST, so maybe its not implemented in KMS yet, idk

That's interesting. Since that screenshot didn't show normal locks, does KMS have normal locks? How long ago were the time limited locks implemented and were they implemented first or were the normal locks added first? Also, what are the prices on them since your picture says 0?

By the way, from two tickets ago:

"Be advised that this item is there to help players protect their belongings and it is just as important that we understand the reason behind your request to unlock the item before its time."

Does that mean that the locks expire naturally without the need for ticketing Nexon? Because on other versions, locks last forever. Also, the lock expiration date isn't written on the item once you use it. How would you know when it expires?

Greetings Harrison,

Thank you for contacting Nexon America's Customer Support team.

Thank you for verifying your account information. I have submitted your request to be processed. Please be patient as it may take awhile for your items to be unlocked. Be advised that item unlocks should occur during server checks.

In regards to item guards expiring, the duration of this item is listed in the Cash Shop. You can mouse over the item to find the duration of item guards.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Happy Mapling!

Sincerely,

GM Daliah

What the hell? So they are 90 day long? Also, mousing over my item doesn't show me the item guard's expiration date. Should I believe Daliah or believe these things last forever?

Never believe a GM that hasn't proven they're not an idiot yet.

It's probably 90 days. Nexon likes money. ;)

KMS has week, 30 day, 90 day, and the ones we have. 4 different lock types.

What's the point of limited time locks? For when you know you're going to be hacked?

That's what I said when they were introduced. This is like advertising the fact that your game has pomegranatety security.

[Shinryuji]

lame, i wasted essentially 3 bucks on locking a Tree Branch Nose just to extend it's freaking existence for 3 months assuming the gach ones would expire

hell can we lock a locked item?

LoL. Now who should I believe... >_>

What are the prices on these time limited ones?

In case you forget your password or you know that in an approximate amount of time that you'll sell the item you're using. Then you don't have to ticket Nexon telling them to remove the lock. (Also, I think it's cuz they can't get their locks removed no matter what.)

No. It's not as bad as ours. Nexon deliberately lowers their regular security to make Lock security higher than password security. In my opinion, both should have the same security, if not, locks should have a better method of security introduced to it, not be better only because password security was taken away.

I don't have the price, because they were being tested in KMST last term, so they were 0. Even if it did have a price it'd be in korean NX units which aren't in any way analogous to GMS NX units.

On a side note, since the locks are fairly new, we don't know the full capabilities of the lock yet. We know that the lock doesn't protect scrolls from breaking items, but does the lock prevent expiring items? Someone should try.

I just tried it on the branch nose from the quest, it won't let me lock it. It said, "This item cannot be sealed." I guess you can't seal items that expire?

What if you seal one that you get from the gach?

The one from gach shouldn't have any problem with the lock since it doesn't expire. Looks like the person above already tested that, i should have bought the lock on my bowman lol so I can lock the gach nose. Now I don't really have anything that I want to lock on mage
