"Lockdown" Error Code 38 data gathering.

It is in the Spoiler, he purposefully induced a "LD" EC: 38ed by adding one item at a time, removed one Link Skill and was freed from it. Added one more item, and was "LD" EC: 38ed again, removed another Link Skill to test Cygnus Knight Link Skills and was freed again. These experiments were all done sequentially without any time in between them, other than restarting Maplestory when "LD" EC : 38 was induced.

Ooooh! Then I read it wrong! I thought it was more detailed description of the same thing. Ok, I'll give you that, I think you are on the right track.

I have a theory about this, now that I got it clearer. It's most likely that additional data from those characters are causing some sort of interference. And most likely, overlooked data. That "overlooked" data could easily be things that aren't included in kms. Things I'm considering are:

-Katanas and fans for Sengokus
-Alien PQ equipment
-Etc items from "exclusive" areas
-Old Silent crusade items (Nobody in their right mind would drop the enhanced exp ring unless they reached lv 200 and never considered another use for exp)
-Etc untradeable items to craft lv 150 sengoku armor
-Event items, like oda coins, for example

My theory is that a particular item has something weird in it, and shuffles the data around. That makes the scrambled mess interfere when past a certain... "value". This value can be modified with link skills apparently, and is supposed to be affected by more.

It makes quite some sense for my case. Almost. Let me explain.

My first lockdown was at the mutant golems map. Something caused me to get locked down there. It could have been an etc loot, or something... But only when I changed channels. It's quite possible that looting an extra item caused the value to be triggered, since it's probable that being affected by the cash shop thing is like getting near that value.

Shortly after, I trained my DK, and (I don't remember exactly, but could have happened like that) possibly gave him the Mercedes link skill. If this was the case, I'd have freed my main from it. But then is when everything fits like a glove.

I went to Hilla, and you all know how many items it drops. I remember looting all equipments, potions and the likes... then getting locked down when switching channels for a last time. And that's why it now makes sense for me to think you are right on the track. According to you, I was barely at the limit, harvested Hilla, and got over the limit without a possible return...

And now it gets me thinking. What if it's a certain item? One item that could have a line of code that is too long, and it's sitting in our inventories for some time? What if it's more than one? One thing seems almost crystal clear. Only old characters seem to have it.

EDIT: WAIT A SECOND. My medal UI inventory was kind of shuffled. Is that normal? As in, the medal order wasn't right. It started happening at the time they added Root Abyss, I remember clearly.

EDIT2: Ok, I think I remember something... 1 medal was in fact removed from the count. But I never figured out which one. Anyone remembers this? I do because I love collecting medals and have over 100 of those.
