This is a follow up to the post by iamflip.

As we may all know, guilds are being disbanded by hackers and when hackers disband guilds, you will lose all the expansion slots, people in your guild and the name of your guild. As well as other guild information.

In order to prevent such a loss, you should save your guild list (Press G and screenshot the whole thing) and delete all players from your guild list except the guild master. The guild master SHOULD NOT log into MapleStory until this issue has been resolved.

Several theories of how this could happen would include a compromised GM account, packet editing/insertion, and memory hacking.

Please note, many guilds have already been disbanded (including our own) through this hack and your guild may be next. If you have any advice or would like to comment on this, feel free to post. Guests can always post here.

Update: Apparently Nexon is now aware of the situation and working on it. However, since it's the weekend (people are off work), I highly doubt there will be any fixes until Monday.
Update: The hack is now confirmed to be packet insertion, they simply send a request to the server to do some things with the guild. Nothing a couple if statements can't handle (simplyintricate, the developer of LibertyMS) knows this, but who knows when Nexon will take care of it.

Also, I would like to add that if your guild master was expelled, but your guild was not disbanded, you should get a list of all the members in the guild, then have a Jr. Expel everyone in the guild, but him/herself. Then have the Jr. not logg on until this whole thing is resolved.

wow.... awfull, maple story hacks are supposed to be harmless things, god mode, flying, super damage, things like that, but when you go overboard with maple story hacks, this is what occurs. its just so sad that someone out there thinks this is funny.

[ReLive]

Umm...does anyone know who would do such a thing?

[Sprunch]

this is gay like seriously

Ugh. I really hope this gets solved.

Please note, many guilds have already been disbanded (including our own) through this hack and your guild may be next.

Those that mean all of the MTD Branches have been disbanded or just the members has been expelled temporarily?

[iamflip]

MTD Windia and MTD Scania were hit badly (although MTD Scania has a few Jr's left standing). MTD Bera and MTD Broa are left standing, so I placed those branches on lockdown (expelled all members) until further notice.

[»Söck«]

Aw man. So it's Lal-whatever his name's fault? Or are there others?

[Bodom]

Lazlojet and xholywindx are the hackers in Windia @ iSock.

I'm sure it's the same hacker on different characters..

Also, you may want to add that the easier way to get a screenshot of all your members, is to type /guildinfo. This shows all the members, and I luckily got a screenshot of this about two minutes before our guild got struck.

[1338Joe]

E`cko is supposedly doing it in Scania. >_>

I check the forum, this is all Himes can say about it

Dear Maplers,

We have been receiving numerous reports regarding the guild hack that has been affecting guilds across all of our servers. It is unfortunate that this has happened. We are investigating and working on rectifying the situation. We will provide more information when we can. Please keep in mind that even though we do not address certain situations immediately, it does not mean we are not aware of what is going on. Information needs to be gathered before we can make a statement.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.

[iamflip]

Ahahaha BS. A little bit too late to say that now with the damage already dealt, Nexon.

[1338Joe]

Well at least we know that they're taking some action into this. ._.

[Br1t3nSt4r]

Wow hackers these days -_________-
SHAME on you nexon! <

[Shade]

Ahahaha BS. A little bit too late to say that now with the damage already dealt, Nexon.

They can always roll back, you know. Hell, if I had a whole community putting our company down for missing a coding error in the Guild system, I'd just rollback a couple days instead of working on fixing on the problem.

[Haelionis]

You could always put everyone as Jr. Master, that way only the master can expel. So a Jr Master is hacked, he/she can't do anything.

But yeah, this sucks.

[iamflip]

One... a couple of days? Hmm... as long as they can rollback to after 3/26/08, then my money is safe.

And two, a rollback without fixing the problem is a recipe for fail since the problem would still exist and therefore the threat would still be there.

[Jmax]

You could always put everyone as Jr. Master, that way only the master can expel. So a Jr Master is hacked, he/she can't do anything.

But yeah, this sucks.

Even the leader of the guild can be kicked with this hack.

Also, where is the info that E'cko is doing this? (not doubting it btw)

[1338Joe]

Not sure, but I read about it at SW, and I saw smega's about him hacking guilds.

[Darkmaniak]

Most powerful guilds are being disbanded....

Gamble aka VenG
Aura
Umbrellacorp
[V]agina
Zelous
etc...

Many great guilds are being disbanded.... and I think the hacker in Scania is xdexless or something like that....
