All 34 who said they are awful as ever did you get hacked during the epidemic? Perma banned? Let me hear[SIZE="5"] YOUR[/SIZE] story. Not how you feel for the others who got affected. If i was affected i would join all of you but nothing major has happen to me. Yea got rollback lost my explore ring,didnt get cheap cubes etc i can live with those
Certainly.
I never was the richest player but i was hit by the epidemic. At the time everyone was talking about how random people were getting hacked. not losing everything but only the 'hot items were taken'. I assumed it was just a really well done phishing scam + pin bypass. No matter to me, i was going to take a break from MS soon anyway so i won't even be near any MS sites. Few weeks later, my cousin tells me he got hacked, same pattern: only the good items taken, everything else was fine even his mesos. I just assumed he fell for it too. I officially stopped logging in but not before changing my PW anyway.
Fast forward a few months, i log on to SW forums one day and come across a thread where EoS notices his character had been tampered with; at this point i was sincerely concerned. i bother to DL the game on to my new laptop to check on things and make a super secure PW, better than the one i set before i quit...and sure enough i was too late, my elestaff and good int gear is good as gone. as well as my ranger's gear. The Elemental wand got to me in particular because me and two friends all put money together to get me it and it the 1st piece of 'awesome' gear i ever got in the game. I was irritated, making my break from the game far more extended. until news of Big bang came around.
I kept an eye on things via forums and friends: decent content one month, dupe glitch the next, remote hack strikes again, decent content, dual blade? Nope Meso exploit causes a rollback and delays dual blade. Dual blade! Whoops a dupe glitch caused by hellbanning. Hey cool, hackers causing nightly rollbacks in certain servers, thats nice. Oh look ANOTHER meso exploit with a rollback, least the compensation was decent this time. And of course, a bad idea of a black friday to close things out. Regaining confidence to play again hasn't been easy, yet truthfully
Truthfully, potential system and big bang are why i voted a 3 instead of a 1, its really me being pretty freaking optimistic and liking how i can pull off going low-stat somewhat decently without having to grind hard for meso; definitely made the game better for me. As well as some of the new content. 12 dex hat is nice and helps players get on their feet.
As for others; Some people may have had friends that made the game great for them quit because of some issue involving nexon somehow; they'd have a right to be influenced by that in my book.
