  They really should have done a rollback within the week that this happened. I knew the longer they waited the less of an option that would be. Ah, well. Here's hoping the lockout issue spreads to other characters in the next patch so they can't keep hoping people will just forget it happened. Then they'll actually have to fix it.

  
  
  You think after the s*it storm caused by a week delay of G15 and then a worse one after 2 failed attempts to launch it in a week was bad? Rolling back just to fix a minority of accounts and put everyone back in G14 would have been way worse.

  Minority? A lot of people are locked out.
  
  A lot of people that aren't locked out are starting to get locked out. If this keeps up it'll eventually reach you too.

  Rolling back over a month's worth of data would still be a bigger disaster. Personally if I did get locked out of my main I'd rather it come back where I left it than lose what I've done.

  I get you, Rollback is no longer an option. It WAS an option, but oh well.

  But no yuo guys unlocked were raging for Dam G15 and Nexon wanted Money no Doubt

  
  
  Everyone was raging for G15. Characters weren't locked out until G15 hit.
  
  

  They did it for the modding. Sure it's too late now, but they should have done it as soon as they figured it out.

  
  
  And we all know how that turned out. I agree with you that they should of reverted when they first found out but as you said, it's too late now.
  
  EDIT: holy crap a lot of people posted while i was thinking of how to reply <.<.

  Yep, and now all we can do really is patiently wait.
  
  Well, maybe not patiently, but we do have to wait...

  My point still stands that rolling back to G14, even a day after G15 was finally successfully released, wouldn't have been any better. And yes it is a minority. If it was a majority it would be easier to determine the cause because there would be a bigger data pool to analyze. Sure a majority is likely affected in some way (I have two locked out characters), but a the majority of characters are still accessible.

  Considering how randomly it's affected characters, can you really blame them for not having nailed down a cause?

  Wrong. A majority of active people's mains are still accessible. And you're dead wrong if you think rolling back even a day after G15 launched would have caused as big of an outcry as the rollback caused by the first weekend character data stopped saving. This whole thing started because Nexon NA tampered with already corrupt patch data. If they'd just waited for Korea to send them an uncorrupted patch then no one would be at the mercy of faulty programming that might or might not be fixable. They already have a pretty large data pool for locked out characters, and they still have no solution. They'd have an even larger data pool if you factored in all the people who are banned or who have quit that don't even know if their characters are currently locked out. Also, it's highly likely that anyone claiming to be no longer locked out had nothing to do with Nexon fixing it in any capacity, or else there would be an announcement about them making progress.
  
  More than a quarter (possibly as high as a third) of all pre-G15 characters being locked out might not be a majority, but I assure you it's nothing small enough to be waved off as a minority.
  
  A rollback as soon as this started (since unlike the data saving issue, they still don't know how to repair this) would have saved them a lot of grief. Quick rollback, a day or two of Double Rainbow to appease the masses (who will complain even during the best of times), and waiting a week (not like G15 wasn't already a month overdue) for a properly working G15 patch. Instead, we've got a problem completely exclusive to NA because people who don't normally work on Mabi's programming decided to touch it anyway. And, if what I'm hearing is true, the problem is spreading to some characters just as randomly as it is wearing off from others. But whatever. You can still play most of your characters. It doesn't really affect you, so it's clearly a minor issue, right?

  How ABout all your guys MAins get Locked out and they may or may not be Fixable what would you do ?
