I believe if Nexon genuinely believes your account has been hacked, they will give you 100k+ maplepoints or more since you had quite a meso-load of items.

That can only mean someone knew your information OR you let your information get taken. I still don't understand how hackers can get into your account unless they have at least a username to start with. Then again, people keep mentioning these super-hackers who can steal info. from Nexon's databases.

Just a question, do you use the website to log in.

I don't wanna be a grammar Nazi right now but while waiting for Nexon reponse I would go learn the difference in between ''were'' and ''where''. It might take a little while before they come back at your ticket so...

Sorry for your lost by the way, it does sucks

Still, I see hacking thread every single day on Basilmarket and it seems to me the hackers doesn't always target high-lvls or well-funded people. So I get to wonder how it happens. I can think of 3 possibles reasons:

1- Chiness gold farmer
2- You went onto suspicious website and/or downloaded some unsafe files/programs without checking if those were virus free and that your scan isn't doing it's job propelly. (most likely that option, even when in denial)
3- You added your maple story friend to your twitter or Facebook or gave your email linked to your Maple Story account and they could get enough personal information from you to get into your account or have a friend doing for them.

Edit: @Taichikara i was wearing them on my evan and they where untradable but he must have used psoks to trade them to himself.... but i didnt have any nx on my account when i was hacked so he must have used his own or somthing T.T

You could start fresh in a new world or just make another character and try to get some mesos by simply mining or something like that Sorry for your loss...
