Maplestory Update Meso Issue & Resolution

Dear Maplers, As many of you know by now, there was an exploitable bug in MapleStory that resulted in large sums of mesos generated and introduced into the Maple World economy. After much internal debate, we have made the difficult decision to restore all MapleStory servers to 3PM Pacific (6PM Eastern), Monday, November 8. This drastic measure ensures that the exploit does not have lasting negative impact on all of our players by raising the cost of items beyond what most players can afford to pay for them. We know that players are disappointed to lose the efforts they’ve put into the game during the last day, and we will do our best to ease the change by offering various compensation and 2x events. Compensation and event details will be presented within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, we will also take action against any exploiters who used this malicious exploit. Any NX spent during the impacted time will be refunded through Maple Points and Cash items after the restore point will be extended by 48 hours. The game will reopen with the rollback in effect at 10:00 AM Pacific (1:00 PM Eastern) on Wednesday November 10. We greatly apologize to our players and ultimately, we feel this is the best resolution to ensure the long term health of MapleStory. -The Maple Team-
