[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] About 500 users of Nexon's flagship PC game "Maple Story" have filed a group refund suit over the alleged manipulation of the probability of being sanctioned by the Fair Trade Commission.

508 Maple Story users filed a lawsuit against Nexon Korea in the afternoon of the 19th against the Seongnam branch of the Suwon District Court for damages and refunds.

A total of 508 plaintiffs filed a lawsuit that day. There are more than 1,000 users who have expressed their intention to participate. The recruitment of plaintiffs will be carried out until the end of this month, and the number of participants is expected to expand further. The expiration date is the 4th of next month. The plaintiffs include all consumers who purchased Cube items from March 2014 to March 2021 without knowing that certain options did not appear in Maple Story.

The value of the lawsuit is 250 million won and is expected to expand to 500 million won in the future. The plaintiffs charged Maple Story about 2.5 billion won, which is 10% of it. In some cases, the value of the lawsuit may be increased.
