God I remember it, was so scared it would break my consecutive login streak.
It would be a bad look if they rolled back the lapis.
They should let everyone keep it and make sure everyone got it PLUS give compensation for the hack and unannounced downtime.
There are players who used the lapis, players who thought it was a gift, and more importantly, this happened because of poor security at Gumi, which potentially puts our accounts and personal information in danger.
If this was due to a hack, that's serious. Don't roll it back. Fix what happened, make up for it, move on.

Some people just want to see the w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ Gumi burn! Gumi after maint: https://media.giphy.com/media/xT77XGGgWsmn9UmmKk/giphy.gif
It seems pretty significant.
It'll be interesting to see how Gumi handles this.
It might be just to give everyone 5k lapis (even those of us who didn't get it) and to keep the base happy. Given its a no event or banner week, and the bad vibes recently, it might be the smarter business move.

When it's 1am and you're about to set up TM farming before bed but Gumi have other ideas.
I didn't check my lapis before the maintenance cause I was playing arena. Was there a specific set of events required to get it or was it just random?
Zera you can't LOL
Yeah I didn't finish it either. I did the first 9 but part 10 was split into 8 parts, which was awesome...if I had the time to do it lmao.

Yikes......well they could do us a solid and obtain the info for the GL crystal rates
Maybe Hippo went rogue and turned against his employer (we miss you bro!)

So they're going to roll everything back and give us 100 lapis as compensation. Got it.
Some people? I bet it's a lot of people, me included/

Me and one friend got the 5k while about 3 others we know didn't get it. Pretty odd situation.

No free stuff in Brave Frontier.
well then to be fair they can rollback and give everyone 5k lapis as compensation.
It would not be fair to give another compensation for people who already receive 5k lapis.
And giving compensation less than 5k will makes them seems cheap. But, let's see how they handle this situation.

Looks like it'll take a while, going to sleep since it's nearly 3 AM.

I have a friend who said he didn't get the 5k but I definitely did, I noticed it and didn't even think about it because I was raid summoning.
I've been saving all my nrg for farming and already have up to the king pots in the raid rewards so no real loss if the game is down for a few days. Just hope Gumi gives some nice rewards for something that they likely could have avoided. 100% moogles incoming!

Whoa, now the maintenance doesn't even have an end time. The first message I saw put it at 7am EST I believe. Just glad I cleared and claimed my daily quests literally 10 minutes before it happened. Saw the hubbub about 5000 lapis showing up, which it did for both me and the wife. Definitely curious what the aftermath of all this will be (hopefully) tomorrow.
That because it'll never end!
Compensation : we put the 3% rainbow already.

This is the third week in a row where Thursday has been an utter shit show.
I should almost expect it now!

At this point we should all expect Gumi to fuck up immensely with exceptional consistency at the end of every year.

Incoming 7-8 day emergency maintenance.
Gumi, this is definitely the most interested 'event' yet. I take back what I said earlier. Please continue to entertain.
On a serious note... I figured this was coming. Everyone was thinking the hackers were bluffing. Now though, Gumi has been proven to be incapable of running anything secure. Let this be a lesson Gumi. Also, if you stopped with shit rates, maybe people wouldn't go batshit insane on you.

The morning of what time zone?
EST I would presume. Maybe 9 est they will at the least release a statement about the maintanence, probably about if it's done(if the servers aren't back up already) or how much longer it will be.
Victim blaming, classy. The hackers are self-righteous pieces of shit. Can't belive all it takes is a bunch of 'free' in-game currency for people to abandon their moral position on hacks.
What about Gumi's moral position on fair rates and transparency? I'm not saying they deserved this.. but they totally did.
People were feeling...less than sympathetic to Gumi before this even began. Consider the whole game is based on predatory practices in the first place. Then combine the recent slowed rate of content, the screw-ups and the total lack of communication. Add in the facts that we were facing a week with little going on anyway, and that we stand to lose basically nothing from this (and may very well gain some things) unless the hackers wipe the whole server, and you can see why people are having trouble feeling sorry for Gumi. I do feel bad for the people undoubtedly panicking and pulling at least one all-nighter. They didn't deserve this. For Gumi the company however, I can't deny feeling some schadenfreude. Cheering the hackers is a bad idea though. They have no love for this game or its players. The 5k lapis was not a gift to us but a show of force to Gumi. For all we know they could have just as easily set everyone's lapis to 0. The best scenario (for us included) is for Gumi to get a handle on this asap.
Yup no Lapis here either. Logged 14h ago and now tried and ah maintenance, scrolled back and saw hackers etc. Iam 100% sure hackers did that 5k Lapis too. It will be shit storm if people can keep their Lapis and rest of the folks wont get nothing.
This is not the situation of simple one daily free pull anymore. My guess is that 5k is gone when game comes back up (might be long maintenance).
Anyways it will be shit and storm and more shit.

considering they got hacked and got my fb reference........
weeeeeeeeeelllll, gumi i expect some serious compensation..
smh, this is why gumi should have their own registration system...
Oh shit. Indeed fuck fuck fuck.
What are you talking about?
By using FB login authorization, you personal FB information is stored safely in Facebook database which is basically impossible to hack. Everytime you login, FB just give Gumi notification "they pass". So does with your credit card information which is stored in Google and Apple system.
If they have their own registration system, all your personal info will be compromised when things like this happen.

The game will likely be down over 12 hours, that on it's own is worth more than that (before we get into what they decide to do with that 5k lapis and those who might have spent it)
What about email address, do hackers now email address we use?
This is what Facebook state in their developer guide
"If your app requests information beyond people's public profiles, email and friends list, you need to submit your app for Login Review."
So basically aside from email and your information available for public FB audiences, anything should be safe.
This is not in the scale of Sony PSN hack where people put their Credit card information and hacker got access to that.
That's why in general relying on 3rd party with more robust and secure system is better for them.
Regardless of things, I did inform this Gumi hacking to FICORA.
Because Fuck Eve
I want some words from Gumi beside "Emergency Maintenance" and as EU citizen I felt like informing forward. Gumi Europe HQ is in France. Hopefully someone asks things from Gumi why this happened and how they did handle it.

I think they need to look up the definition of timely

It could be every minute, or hour, or day, or week, or month, or year or NEVER THE GAME IS DEAD. @_@
