I'm really getting confused. I get the concept of rollback: the server is rebooted and all the server's data from a previous date/time is recovered instead. But there are a few things I don't quite understand about the rollbacks that have been happening recently: 1) Why are the rollbacks happening, and why always around midnight? (Is nexon doing it or are hackers doing it? Or is nexon doing it BECAUSE hackers are duping n stuff?) 2) How come I lose items as a result of rollback? Not only items, I've lost mesos and nx too. For example, yesterday, I transferred 3 sets of ilbis and 5 mil onto my ring character that I was training to be a sin. After roll back, BOOM, all the ilbis + the money on my mule were gone and my lvl 26 rogue was back to lvl 1. After the rollback, I went into the cash shop and bought a unique meso bag. I got 10 mil from it. Then, all of a sudden, the server crashed AGAIN, and I lost the 10 mil AND the 3k nx I spent. I probably lost a couple sets of ilbis AGAIN 2day and my lvl 27 rogue went back to lvl 1 again also, but that's besides the point. My question is: WHERE ARE THE DISAPPEARING ITEMS/MESOS/NX GOING TO? Isn't rollback supposed to reset your account to a previous time? Then how is it possible that I can lose items/mesos...? Is it becaused I transferred through storage....? I'm really confused. 3) Now, this is where it gets even MORE confusing. Today, I just checked my account after roll back (I can log in and go to character screen but I crash whenever I try to get into the game w/ a character), and my sader that I leveled to 83 at around 11 pm was still level 83. However, my rogue that I was training at around 4-9 pm reverted from level 27 to level 1 again. What exactly is going on? This just seems chronologically impossible now. Does ne1 know how the rollback works?

How do you know...? Your explanation on your other topic doesn't really make any sense, to say the least.... I'm not questioning your assertion, just wondering how you came up with that conclusion. Also, do you happen to have answers to ne of my other questions?
