Damn, they are just so dumb.

But they brought 2x EXP cards back, guys! They do care!

Vicious Hammer Sale?

Pam's Song Sale?

Perm Pet equips?

Wedding Coupon Sale?

2x COUPONS???

...

Me thinks that Nexon needs moar $$$ @_@

After what's happened lately, does it make me a terrible person to give them my money for all these marvelous items?

But they ended the 20 for 20 AP reset sale about two weeks before it was supposed to. Lovely.

Oh wow.

Nexon1: Guys I think the game is going to hell, these guys are pineappleing up the game economy!
Nexon2: Hey, just stop the NPC from selling that item. It will surely stop it!
Nexon3: Release some CS sales, players always love CS sales. Hackers are making loads of money, we shouldn't be left in the dust!
Nexon1: I'm glad I work with you guys, you are genius.

Cut source, let economy rot and eventually recover, appease the crowd by releasing cash shop sales.

Covers their asses and they profit. It's brilliant!

Yes. And you're not alone. As long as profits don't decrease, there's nothing wrong with the game from Nexon's POV.

Honestly that sounds like the Nexon business philosophy right now.

Nexon: More money, more coffee breaks.

This. Unless they enabled sharing of the tiara it's not worth it. :f7:

I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am right now. SSS are still out there and they will continue to be duped the only thing that was stopped was the ease in which they are able to be transferred from duper to sucker.

Nexon needs to grow a pair.

Well hackers can't make NX directly with SSS, now they have to buy stuff that's worth something on the MTS with all their mesos before they get their profit.
Still a half-assed solution.

They can still sell meso directly to goldsellers.
Which I suppose is better than them buying out the FM and causing everything to inflate even further beyond a normal player's means than it is now.

The public dupe is fixed.
However, I doubt that the "main" dupers were even using that, as that method was hugely inconsistent(under 20% chance of success) and required a server check/crash each time.

And there was some rejoicing.

The Dupe method can not and will not EVER be patched. It just can't be done. It has been here since Beta and will stay here forever. Though, there is another way, I'm not 100% sure how it's done but I do know the first half too it, it could be patched but it will probably need to go to the public before hand. -_-''

You have everything mixed up. It wasn't really public, maybe semi-public. Yes, the main dupers were using the non-crashing method the last 3-7 days or so. THAT version is the one that has a very low chance of working, the crash method is the one that has a lot higher chance of working.

Dear Maplers,

The unscheduled server maintenance is complete as of 3:00 AM Pacific (6:00 AM Eastern). The stability issue that resulted in this maintenance has been addressed.
In addition to addressing the stability issue, the following changes and updates were made:

Players below Lv.160 who were able to use the Hyper Teleport Rock to travel to certain parts of the Gate to the Future and potentially get stuck are no longer able to do so.
Players below Lv.160 that may have been stuck in these certain maps have been moved to Henesys.
The Secret Spell Scroll is no longer available for purchase from Vega.
Players are now sent back to the correct town when leaving the Free Market after having used the Quick Move system to get there.
The rate of getting a Mastery Book for Cannoneers, Mercedes, and the Demon Slayer from using a Microwave on an Ice Cube has been multiplied by four.
Cash Shop update: Pam's Song, 2x EXP cards, permanent pet equipment, Vicious' Hammer sale, new permanent decorative equipment, new 90 day decorative equipment
Cash Shop ending: 1 NX Heart Balloon, Water of Life sale, pet food sale, current permanent decorative equipment

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this maintenance.

- The Maple Team -

>permanent pet equips
>2x cards

Maybe I'll start playing this game again after my one week hiatus. Or at least log back on to buy stuff and continue my break.
