Most likely a temporary ban
Everyone just relax. It's probably just a TEMPORARY ban until they figure out how to fix the situation.
In the meantime, what I've noticed is that lots of people are getting banned for different reasons.
I was banned for "Hack" reason when I didn't even have a single 3rd party program on my desktop running.
Another person on the forums was banned for "Harassment".
They're probably just perma banning accounts for different reasons until they fix the problem.

@fairystories:

[quote=genji]i didnt abuse this gach thing but i got permed like nexon..curse u![/quote]
What, why did they ban you then? O_O
[quote=fairystories]Almost every big spender in my server that was awake for the Gach Misprice of 2015 has been permabanned on their mains. Unless Nexon wants to make only $500 the next Miracle Time, these bans are just temporary.
But how hilarious would it be if it wasn't?[/quote]

Good old Nexon.
[quote=megascience]@dragonx987: The problem is a rollback isn't simple. Do they even keep rollback points anymore? If they do, when was the last state of the [i][b]entire[/b][/i] server taken? Would they really do it daily, especially so long since the last time? We've had other major situations people thought needed a rollback, but they didn't, and considering the scale of data required to be backed up periodically, it is a possibility the system is no longer in place.[/quote]
i think in this case they might because of the influx of items that have come from what has happend and also the price drops on the LGR and all the von leon stuff as well as chairs that came into the game during the time of 12am and when the bans started flowing in

ill literally kill myself if that happens
[quote=megascience]The people who do maintenance and essential work in these situations clearly wouldn't be available in the middle of the night without notice, so they instead went with the more general method of banning all accounts effected. The ban prevents anymore trading or using of items from the gachapon until the needed staff come in and do proper adjustments. Definitely going to be lifted once they decide on what to do.[/quote]
well there really is only one solution to do in the case is just do a roll back to 11:59am on 09/01/15 and then change the price before they bring the server back up because i know there is a few people out there that got 1 or 2 packs of 11 so that really isnt anything to get banned over but for the people that bought over 100k of nx worth then they sould have something else done maybe like a week ban or something
but i think just rolling back to the day b4 and it should be all good and set

@littletlk: i imagined that some really disgruntled employee decided to troll nexon as a "ef yall im quitting... Payce!" Kinda deal going on
[quote=buster1651]I hope they perm ban all of em. The cries and tears will be so entertaining to read. No offense to 90% of the basil population tho.[/quote]
yes plz perm ban all the ppl bae. easy way to quit. cries and tears from those who still play, wihtout enough nx buyer there wont be free to play game like maplestory lol
[quote=dragonx987]i got banned for typing in my password or pin code wrong 5 or more times and got perma banned[/quote]
Yeah they just seem to be banning people for completely random reasons.
[quote=looniemunki]honestly a unscheduled maintenance check would have sufficed. This way they can MAYBE fit in the scheduled maintenance as well. Freaking ridiculous.[/quote]
it's possible an admin wasn't available to bring the servers down.
They fixed the price in the CS though, so who really knows. I assumed only admins could adjust that.
i got banned for typing in my password or pin code wrong 5 or more times and got perma banned
Honestly. This just gives me an even bigger reason to quit this game. I even told everyone that I was quitting MapleStory a few weeks ago. And I kind of already did. I was mostly just afk, either doing school work, playing League or watching movies.

They'll probably make a post in regards to the situation later today, then when everything gets sorted out, they'll probably just unban you during the maintenance.
[quote=littletlk]I don't think GMs have the ability to trade-block players, so I think they're just looking through the chat log and banning everyone who gach'd today while they try to figure out what the hell to do with the situation. And they're probably just picking random reasons for the ban, hence all the seemingly random ban messages.[/quote]

[quote=looniemunki]lol you realize how ridiculous even a temporary ban is? I'm looking at the population right now and it looks thin as hell[/quote]

[quote=littletlk]I actually think 100-200 NX per ticket would be a reasonable permanent price.[/quote]
i dunno, maybe. with my luck it need be 10nx per ticket to get a decent thing.

[quote=jerry5000]the best thing for you to do is acting chill atm, if u acting like u care nexon wont unban you.
u know how many ppl participated in the Bounty hunter event and got permed?
after all those ppl getting banned no one will buy SAO keys they have to unban all the ppl and give them a second chance.
for me as always, if nexon ban me tahts an easy way to quit, especailly when i hear this incoming mage nerf.
i did participate in this and spent 1.5k nx for 11tix, and i can say this even at this price the gacha tix are still poop, not worth it.[/quote]

They're just temporarily freezing the items that would have flowed into the economy if they had not. I'm sure most people will get unbanned depending on how much you actually exploited this mistake on their behalf.
