I have a possible theory on why nexon servers are down. Some hacker had the guts to hack CA player "Tsor" (idk if he was hacker orignally or not but w.e) and changed his profiles where his exp and stats are all messed up (in this case: 1.5 bill exp + stat modded to be below k.d etc.). The hack overloaded the servers due to a massive exp spike. Nexon only runs ONE server (from the pattern i've seen, nexon has a tendency to do maintence on their server WITH all their games closed down for the period). in other words, they have no dedicated servers for separating their games from one another unline Ijji servers ( in their case the only time their entire servers are down is when they're maintencing [NOT UPDATE] their servers. they can still run other games while one or two games are updating patches). this also explains why nexon has extended server maintence as while they need to patch one game, but its in with all one server with other games in it too, so when they update a file, they accidentally cause a bug into another game thus a domino effect. explains alot why they close down every game when they do updates or maintences. but they do update all the games at the same time, causing extended server maintence and my explained domino effect. if u need link to the 1.5 bill exp have here it is http://combatarms.nexon.net/ClansRankings/PlayerProfile.aspx?user=Tsor copy paste it and see it. thats my theory of why nexon is still down. This is opinion based and from my knowledge of how the internet and servers work. Please do not rage about it.
