Meso Virus?

A new hacking phenomenon has been going around lately. There have been several reported cases of this new “virus” in almost every single server and world. The new meso hack involves the Meso Donation Box NPC in almost every town. With this hack, if one were to insert a negative amount of mesos, for example, negative 2,147,483,347, one would recive 2,147,483,347 mesos instead of losing all of that. With this new craze, one may exploit it and recive well over 100 billion mesos. Making a “smart” move, Nexon decided to not ban the hackers, but to unleash a hellban. This hellban spread like a virus, affecting anyone and everyone who comes in contact with these illegal mesos. The hellban prevented you from trading, selling, buying, and anything else that allowed an exchange of items or mesos. The only known way so far to get un-hellbanned is to submit a ticket to Nexon and wait 2 days to 6 months, depending on how fast they act. However, besides unleashing a hellban virus, Nexon has eliminated the souce of the porblem and patched it in the unscheduled server maintenance of July 5th. So far, there have been many reports of Nexon containing and eliminating these “virus mesos,” but few to none have been confirmed.

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.

Do you think that you’ve been wrongfully hellbanned? Use the following form and submit it to Nexon.

Dear Nexon Representatives,

I am _(insert character name)_ from _(insert server)_. I have recently been banned from trading and faming other characters. I also cannot find myself on Nexon’s rankings. I assume that I have been banned for having mesos exploited from the Dalair glitch. I would like my case reviewed and for appropriate action to take place so that I may resume playing MapleStory. I thank you for your time and energy spent in this endeavor.

Sincerely,

_(insert name here)_
