Biggest nexon screw ups of all time
what are some of the best occasions that nexon messed something up?
multiple rollbacks in one week?
releasing the 9 att scroll hot time for only an hour?
countless compromised accounts because of MTS account info leak?
18-hour maintenance's?

One roll back actually saved me.
Someone hacked my friend who was holding and scrolling my dkhanjar at the time. One if the many rollbacks in one week actually saved it and we regained possession of it and I took hold of it to make sure the hacker didn't try to take it again.
Good times.
A glitch that if yu get it yu can't take kinesis out of the town and can't play it anymore if don't do quest
Making the huge gaps in exp to level from 219-220 and 239-240
Golden Temple dropping GM 100% Glove Attack scrolls. Still mad at myself for selling mine immediately for like 500mil.
Future Henesys dropping placeholder equipment, which has become collector items. (Since, although they were extremely common, the commonality caused most people to toss them. Then over the years, they naturally started vanishing into abandoned accounts or dropped even more.)
That one time when a gm accidentally put his login information at the top of the screen.
To me it was the week full of rollbacks. That was some good fun.
I remember this one event where you could make mules, level them and get some free scrolls that were really good... I felt the game was so freaking broken
not actually fixing problems has been their biggest mistake
re-bot and potential is their biggest mistake.
Not sure, if anybody mentioned this, but ruining buccaneer skills goes on the top of my list.
@robertswe: If it isn't yours and you use it/ take it - it's theft.
@joblessjim: Stolen? The GM posted his login information in a notice so everyone could see it.
@genostigma i remember getting a random rare-potted lv 70 thief hat and trying to use another 70% potential scroll on it... hahaha little did I know they had just introduced the most gamebreaking change of all time
the 1 hour 9 att 100% scrolls was amazing
Got some good mesos out of that
@alesanah: Merging with Broa was the best thing that ever happened to Khaini dawg!
But my # 1 is...like TS mentioned.
1) countless compromised accounts because of MTS account info leak (leading to many people quitting)
2) Nexon not admitting to it.
3) The introduction of Potentials (without giving any explanation of what this new potential was used for) and Potential 90% scrolls which lead to many people booming their godly gear (again leading to many people quitting the game)
4) The f**q-up of my IGN transfer during the name change event. Coupon (10k) did not go through and my IGN got sniped. F**q U Nexin!
@yunioracosta: It is impossible for me to farm my single points because of this.
Pet loot lag is the worst ever game breaking issue ever in the history of ever.
@alesanah @grawp77
merging with broa and becoming broni is #2 after ign change event for the best descisions nexon has ever made, 4 irl friends all played in broa but I was in khaini now its all the same, god bless nexon. God bless broni.
@alesanah: yep
@krylonems And you can. He said OLD european accounts are no longer blocked from global MS. We're talking about an incident in mid-2007 where Nexon accidentally blocked all of the european players for an entire day, old and new accounts, despite announcing that old players would keep their accounts and be able to play.
@miauri: ''If you account is older than May 2007, you can play still it from Europe.''
@krylonems: Then what are you talking about?
merging with broa
Cubes, and exp required to level
@miauri: I'm aware of that
@krylonems: My account is older than EMS (came May 2007) so I can still play, but only on that account.. Accounts made before May 2007 can be played from Europe
@miauri: you can't play from eu. If it was open EMS would have been closed already.
@ashleyattacked I'm European as well, playing from Sweden still.
I remember that the notes said old players would be able to access their accounts, but once the servers went up ALL Europeans were IP blocked for like a day before Nexon said anything about it at all. It was a huge crapstorm.
@ashleyattacked: Old european accounts are not blocked anymore, it was only for a short while back in 07. If you account is older than May 2007, you can play still it from Europe. Or at least I think it's May 07. Mine's from like Nov 2006 and I can still play it from Norway
@sadvirgin: I'm from Europe (Ukraine.)
Trust me, you're not missing anything with us gone. I'm pretty sure that Nexon did it intentionally because Europeans suck and make horrible friends. Trust me, I would know - I hate myself. The only reason I got through the cracks is because I moved to North America so that I could keep playing Maplestory. They almost got me one time...when the GM tried to figure out if I was a European I thought he was flirting with me so I said 'Los Angeles' hoping to be his girlfriend.
The grand "accidental" block of all old European accounts in 2007.
That recent gach mispricing was pretty magnificent too.
Biggest Nexon screw ups of all time? Maplestory 2.
@joblessjim: ECCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that time a nexon employees account information was stolen. The user smegad nonstop, even showed off the gm hat and stuff.
Who remembers when hackers spawned a custom NPC in major towns like Henesys that turned whoever clicked on it into a Phantom that couldn't do anything. Glorious times
sending 5k prepaid codes to everyones' email way back
I don't remember exactly what happened but there was a time when people could donate negative mesos to the donation boxes in town. That might not have been Nexon's fault, but the idea is so ridiculous it makes me laugh.
I was talking about this with someone just the other day and it reminded me of a video I once did

Tbh Maplestory was the most fun when things went wrong.
allowing u to play the game fred.
