Will nexon do this?

  I seriously just stared at this article for like 10 minutes. I just couldn't believe how bad this is. Did they even make a backup? Can't believe there is worse than nexon.
  
  

  An MMORPG company which accidentally deleted its MMORPG during server maintenance has announced it has no choice but to shut the game down.
  
  Japanese game developer Sankando and game operator Hangame had to make what must be the worst announcement (at least of those not pertaining to FFXIV) in MMORPG history with regards to their “M2″ title:
  
  There is something we must inform our valued customers of.
  
  On the 21st of October, 2011, at 20:00, we undertook emergency maintenance on the server due to a critical issue.
  
  Service was to resume promptly, but work performed by Sankando could not restore the game’s data. It is tremendously regrettable, but unfortunately we have no choice but to end service.
  
  Thank you all for enjoying M2 for so long! Our heartfelt apologies for it having turned out like this.
  
  It is not clear how many players are affected, and the extent of the operator’s backup precautions is not known either. The game was based on item charges – some conditional refunds have been announced.
  
  With billions of dollars of virtual “property” now lodged on game servers the world over, the prospect of server problems now seems to offer a novel form of financial chaos capable of bankrupting millions – not that this is much different to what happens daily on the markets.

  Wow. I would be so angry if I played that game.
  I'm really speechless at this.

  I would rage quit life for a couple days since my virtual life on that game was completely destroyed. That is a constant nightmare when you spend so much of your time online :s

  Is Nexon doesn't want to be burned in a fire, I doubt it will happen.

  A failing company greater than Nexon?
  
  Well, they say "there will always be one more person better than you and one more person worse than you."
  
  This is a great example of the latter for Nexon.

  I don't see how it's even possible for one company to do this.

  I though Backup was mandatory

  I bet they'll pull something out of the TOS and say "This section states we're in no way entitled to compensate for our error. You rented things from us, and you agreed to play (and pay) despite whatever happens to this game and company."
  
  "Conditional refunds" sounds dodgy.

  There's also a source at http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114155-Server-Screw-Up-Kills-MMO
  
  I've just requested somebody to have NxBoo make sure that doesn't happen with Nexon ._.

  If I get refunds, I'd actually benefit a bit from Mabinogi going down.
  Of course, it would suck for everyone else.

  If Nexon accidentally deleted MapleStory.... Let's just say a LOT of s*** would go down ._.
