Hopefully Nexon catches this quick.

When I first started playing this game around late 2006, I was oblivious at what was happening around me for a few months till it was pointed out to me that these players are cheating. That mobs aren't suppose to spin in circles a few times and get sucked into a single area and characters aren't suppose to fly.

I honestly never played a game that has as much cheating as Maple Story does. It is ridiculously bad, there was some cheating in other games but not to the extent this game has.

At the same time I never played a game that is as expensive as Maple is, but that's a different story.

Anyome remember the Merchant gold glitch in Dream of Mirror Online?

If you don't, here's how it went:

1. Make character
2. Make Fighter
3. Get No-Guard
4. Job change to Fencer
5. Get Max-Guard
6. Job change to Merchant
7. Get Liquidation
8. Cast all 3 spells, go die. You now have money equal to your health.

Sure, it wasn't a hack at first, but when exploited by god mode, it ruined the economy. The glitch was opened up 4 times in DoMO's lifespan, and gold became worthless quickly.

Too bad DoMO is gone now.

But yeah, hacking ruins a LOT of MMOs.
