500 account thread?

ok so apparently quite a few of you saw the thread and continued to steal the accounts that were there, besides me was there anyone who got on the accounts and made sure that the equips were safly tucked away by Freinds of the charecters? i was able to get on about 3 accounts all lvl 90+ and was able to make sure a friend (i hope was a good friendxD) held the items of the said hacked charecter for saftey... did anyone ELSE try to do the right thing? or did u all steal/delete/act like a jerk to said accounts?

Of course this is just to try and see if anyone on basil is actually worth a danm and ill probobly get in trouble, but im curious to know

Edit: seems quite a few people arent exactly sure what happend so ill explain.

a man had apparantly been banned or something im not sure and wanted revenge created a trojen site, got many people hacked, at put it on a hackers forum. then the names Apparently different due to what was still no touched, made it to basil, these accounts were all hacked due to the trojen which was from a site claiming to give out a meso gene, meaning they were looking for hacks. these peoples id pass and pic were all set up in a page made by a random user and the thread was deleted about 5-10 minuts later.

This thread has gotten a bit out of hand, sadly if we don't stay on topic i might lock it for the sake of i dont wish to start a huge flame war

when the post was created it basically said not to dwell to deep or ill get hacked. i understand that.but im not dwelling anyway and even if i did i wouldent care.

Similar, but no the same and please theres no possible way of you getting hacked if you ask for it on basil, you have to do the same thing as those that tried to make illegit mesos and ended up being hacked for that.[/quote]

Honestly from the way i grew up. anyone who "complains" using your definition is still "complaining or protesting in a childish fashion."

Also i was just egging you on, if you'r gunna threaten me might as well show you im not afraid right? no other reason tbh

[quote=chakatstarlight]id ask for a link for proof seeing as the hacker him self pointed it out it was a website trojan. but i know that doing so is aginst the TOS/TOA

so ill just point out, that just cause the names were posted there and since the hacker allready admited where they came from i dont see why it would be assumed it came from BT[/quote]

since it would be too idiotic to try and see if that website gives meso gen,bt, other hacks we dont certainly dont know.

exactly. not everyone here hacks and if anyone was bright enough to know meso gens dont actually exist unless its private which i dought even then. which i bet at most hackers DO know. then you would also understand they had no idea wth they were doing meaning nothing they had was hacked tobegin with. all your badmouthing is invalid guys. they didnt deserve it, end of story

sadly. i feel bad for them, i do giggle at the thought of all the hacked threads....

Edit @Epicmapler first off just cause these people got hacked for searching for a meso gen dosent mean that they actually hack, cuase most people understand that meso genes dont exist and if they do there private, meaning anyone seaching for them has never hacked or understands how to, to begin with.

#2 even if its true it was to hopefully get these wrongfully hacked charecters a chance to get there stuff back.

No matter how you look at it, they dont deserve what happend

[quote=gabito1]I understand where you're coming from, but dam, don't act like it only goes on in maplestory. There are immature players in every single game out there who don't give a fire truck about anybody else. It gets on my nerves when people say, "any people in many games complain about there community but sadly maplestory has got to be the worst". Its only the worst because there are so many people! If you take the percentage of people that are like that, its about the same as every other game. So if you're really bothered by this, then just quit and go find out that all other games are the same.[/quote]

if you actually tend to take what i said by heart so be it, but i also said that other games have crappy communitys, what i also said was maplestory had the worst that
"I have seen" i do pride my self in know the communitys of quite a large number of online games, reguardless of the fact if that makes me a nerd or what not, many people i can assure you would agree with me. the community its self has problums mostly becuase of its hacker base and its age base. you can get mad if you want but regardless of how you feel its true.

Since it was valid information, does this mean another database breach? Or is it remnants from the last breach yet?

Edit: Other theories are accepted, obviously.

most of those people are banned accounts , hence why most of those accs had sometimes same pass as others , very easy PICs, stripped characters, characters with no name sense (sadjkah, sjda , ehk, etc), undergeared(lvl 120+ with lvl 50 hats.
they got keylogged by trying to search for meso gen hack.

what is worrying me is that by logging on so many accounts in one single IP will get me in trouble <.<
tentation.
dam.

[quote=icyredslush]did anyone get a screenshot or know what accounts were on their so people like myself who are still logged in wont worry about having to log out to change everything[/quote]

im sure quite alot of people copyd them to a notepad, but the amount of people who are willing to share it with you are probobly slim to none.

its also probobly important to point out that, only people who went to a specific site looking for a meso Gen got hacked, as he said in the post.

@Stychpacho or w/e his name is.

i honestly dont care. i do feel good about my self thx, but this thread was mostly aimed twords what basil did in this situation. did they fall to temptation and steal items pillage and plunder? or did they do the right thing. honestly if i let my self get aggravated because you think bad of me for "bragging" which i am not. then fine. at least in the end reguardless of what i said i did the right thing. and thats more then i can say for alot of other people

[quote=icyredslush]omg hope my account was not amoungst them it was because of that trojan thing and I cant believe players would delete someone elses account and log onto it for no reason other then to harm the people[/quote]

you underestimate the immaturity of the maple world, many people in many games complain about there community but sadly maplestory has got to be the worst.. and ive played many games, i love the game ive supported it for years.... but the sort of people who play this game... its just sad to say the least..

to be very honest im serprised at how many people have helped. then agian the number that dident its probably FAR greater, but for as long as ive known the maple community, this brings back a little hope for it, when i see that people care.

err if you saw the thread those accs were people trying to find for hacks.
hence 1/3 of them are banned accounts or people with same pass

I think most of the people deleted chars etc. Anyway I went on the webiste and reset the PICs of a few so hopefully they'll get their info back via email.

alot of the accounts were reg accounts, one of the said accounts had specs, luckely his wife was on and i was able to transfer his items to her. hopefully i was not the only one actualy TRYING to help these people, else i will be SEVEARLY saddend by tis community

@tevoit, i didnt know u could change the pic without the email, if i had i would have and then tried to contact them... a peice of knowledge i wish i had about 20 minuts ago plus, its better that a friend gets the items rather then some random noob right? at least then hes got a chance. better then nothing i suppose.

I would've but by the time I got to them they were already deleted, kind of pointless deleting someones hard work. But chaka you would've been better off changing their pics. That way no one could delete the characters/steal items and the original owners could simply do a pic reset. Plus your way ran the possibility of the friends stealing items.

a hacker had posted the accounts of about 60 people, many of which were between lvl 80-150 the thread was live for about 10 minuts before deletion, i knew people would get on to steal said items and delete charecters, so i set off on a rampage to try and save as many acounts as possibal... sadly i was only able to help 3..
