Map crashing back?

Anyways, I havent experienced an intentional map crash in quite a while (i believe it was back in 2009/2010 when i knew for sure i was map crashed). I have heard jokes about map crashing others, but never experienced one in a while.

So i wanna ask basil is it possible that map crashing has become available again? Cuz today, at empress, i found some pretty shady circumstances indicating a map crash :C.

Heres the story: at empress, my mule clicks on ch 12 while my main was on ch 13. (I do this so if my mule gets in, i can use hp boost potion + resistance potion + stew without having to go through pot cd or wasting the pot.) All of a sudden, my mule's maple crashes. I felt like "w.e no biggie" and i attempt to log back in. Since my mule dc'd, i used my NL to go click. Interestingly, the map was empty. Soon, a lot of people log back in, and everyones (jokingly) blames each other for crashing the map. As my mule logs on as well, i take my NL back to ch 13 and resume clicking on my mule. Soon later, a person comes into ch 13 (someone i saw previously attempting to click). I was confused but was like, well w.e, maybe this persons like me. Soon, my mules maple crashes again. I move my NL back to ch 12 to click. The other person comes with me and clicks as well, and gets in. Everyone comes and questions whether there was a map crashing. There were mixed replies: some claim that person is definitely legit and at the same time others state that this has happened before with the same circumstances and the same person. So i was wondering ur thoughts~. Discuss basil!

(I will keep players anonymous as to not accidentally ruin reps or cause fights)

tdlr: at empress there was some shady circumstances that indicate towards map crashing and therefore I'm wondering if map crashing has returned/will become common.

@darksin1204: The reason a crash becomes more popular is more people figure out how to do it and then after enough people figure it out the people who originally find out get angry and release to the public and patch it - The general process of map crashes

@Clashofpower: Yes. It had to do with something called tempest blades or something. I'm not familiar with kaisers lol

@paying thanks for the fast response. I thought that most (if not all) map crash methods were patched since i havent experienced one in a long time. And so im wondering why this crash method hasnt become more popular. Since a lot of people are willing to do sleazy things to get ahead in the game :C.

Should have seen how absolutely horrendous is was when the kaiser exclusive map crash thing was publicly released. That was hell

Wouldn't be surprised; I saw it around in 2012 around the FM in Bello.

There's a few methods of map crashing, one of which (that I know of anyway..) requires no 3rd party programs or intereactions of any kind. It's how the people in fm 1 usually keep/steal other people's who attempt to gain a spot outside of their normal group.
