Maplers,

We wanted to provide a strong reminder to our players to please avoid interacting with others who may be using this exploit, and definitely please avoid attempting the exploit yourself. We are working on addressing this issue, and we're also able to track the exploit. Accounts that are intentionally using the exploit will be suspended or possibly banned. As we've said before, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Once again, thank you as we work on keeping MapleStory safe for all.

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.
