Awww. :( I wonder if Gravity is gonna look into the matter at all, they really should at least restore the status of the castle to their original owners - since the lost which players suffered are really gravity's fault.
Off topic but, if it was in China, ppl would have lodged a complaint against the company already. Since last year, there has been a couple legal cases related to the lost of virtual properties in network games. One guy sued a gaming company for the lost of some high level equipment due to theft. The company lost the case because they could not prove that their security system was perfect at the time the incident happened, and the court decided that though they were virtual properties, players' time, efforts and $$$ were spended to acquire them, therefore it's interchangable to real life values and is under the protection of the law. :P Decision was that the company must restore the items to the player's account and responsible for all the legal cost incurred. The company appealed, but I don't think they got anything reversed.
