Dear Maplers, Recently, we were alerted to a rise in mesos being introduced into MapleStory through an exploit. We have fixed this exploit and are actively working on stopping the spread of these mesos by investigating those who were involved. Players who used the exploit and those who are directly associated with it have been banned. We understand some players may not be directly associated but may have potentially obtained some mesos or have had their items bought with illegitimate mesos in the Free Market. These players have been trade blocked to prevent the spread of the exploited mesos. We assure you the trade block is temporary and will only remain in effect as we investigate. It is not permanent. Current players that are not trade blocked will not be subjected to the investigation or further action. You are safe to sell and buy from the Free Market without the repercussions of this exploit. We will reach a resolution shortly. If you feel you have been mistakenly blocked, please send us a ticket through our support system immediately. Also, as a safety precaution to the exploit please keep these tips in mind. - Do not take large sums of mesos from strangers. - If a player offers you something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. - Avoid suspicious players and offers. Suspicious players try to off load non-legitly obtained items to avoid getting caught. Thank you as we work on keeping MapleStory safe for all. -The MapleStory Staff- Source: http://forum.nexon.net/MapleStory/forums/thread/5038954.aspx Log tickets guys.

[/quote] Meaning that they'll jot down your name saying that you had nothing to do with the exploit. Anyway,thanks GM Hime for this notification.I guess I won't be setting up my shop for a while.

It's nice of them to address us about this issue. Though I haven't been affected by this, I hope it ends soon.

[quote] Hime : You don't have to take your store down. Additional players will not be subjected to further action. [/quote] Hime, I have logged a ticket since yesterday. How long before I get a reply. I know for sure that iShootSp3rm is a meso exploiter and had purchased one of my items from my store, at the time it was sold to him, I had no idea he was a meso exploiter. I only found a few hours ago, he had constantly item megaphone'd his items, which were very unbelievable. What would happen to the mesos and my item that I've sold to him? If you need anymore information, it was a 76 attack 1 slot unhammered Maple Storm Pistol. It was item tagged by "s0ulbrother". He had purchased it for 999,999,999 mesos. I'm hoping you'd give me a reply, thank you.

GM Hime is a no no. When someone needed help from a glitch she didn't dare to show her face in the post.

Unfortunately, I cannot directly help you with your ticket. Not because I don't want to help you, it is because I am not part of the Customer Support team and I do not have the tools to help you. I do hope your ticket will be addressed soon. I cannot get into detail about who is banned and who isn't, but those directly related to use of the exploit will be subjected to the appropriate course of action.

In Windia there was a person basically giving out a large sum of mesos. I hope this gets reset...
