Since the Maple Leaf Watch people from yesterday, lot of people complained about being hacked in an unusual way:

1. You are asked to trade in one of the FM rooms.
2. Once you go in, you disconnect and you go back to the login page.
3. You try to log in but it says someone is on your account.
4. Next thing you know, you log on a mule and you find your main either dropping the equips, being stripped naked, riches being snatched, etc etc etc.

There has not been proof shown if this is real or not, but people over at BasilMarket are still talking about it. Apparantly, the targets are “very rich people who look like they are very rich”. (RICH, I SAY!)

When I was browsing through some of the topic, an interesting question was asked:
lolwk of Basil:
“What if these aren’t FM hackers, but instead people paid by Nexon. With the threat of being robbed just by entering a map, people will panic and rush to the cash shop to buy item-locks [coincidentally just added, I might add]. With this, nexon will have a boost in cash shop sales that was not expected(or was it), because Item locks are kind of useless(no offense to anyone who uses them). While I don’t think this is what happened at all, it was an interesting idea that one of my friends brought u and I expanded.”

Well that does bring a good question in mind. Is it really Nexon doing all this? Others say it was the Maple Leaf Watch abusing their powers. We might not know, untill time tells us.

(There are plenty of more people who say they got hacked. Go Basil it.)

Also, my friend Robin told me that these hacks are packet-edited.
(What’s his proof? Friends of the Dark Side.)

This hasn’t been confirmed if it IS true or not.
Maybe people are joking around about this, panicing others. Possibly people are doing this for a rollback.

Some stuff could prove this is all not real:

IThrowFast of Basil (World: Windia) :
“So I was playing on my lvl 16 magician in Scania when I go to the FM to meet up with some pals We were sitting in ch14 FM entrance. Then for some reason Tiger (I hear from basil that he is first lv200) comes to the ch14 entrance naked and he is like ‘LOL NOOBS!’ Then he logs out. Anyway, is this one of those hacking things that is happening to HeroTex also?”

(I mean… TIGER? COME ON. He quit a long time ago and is nowhere Lv 200.)
A similar thread was made about FangBlade and some other person. (Currently finding the post.)

More in depth, there is also one proof that for sure makes this hack fake…
try dropping an item in one of the FM rooms…

Is this all true or is all this just confusion trying to mess peoples’ heads?
