Players unable to log in on specific characters

didn't work for me, you must be suffering a different problem. Almost everyone here got glitched doing something related to nodes (enhancing, crafting, or disassembling a lot of nodes at once)
Nobody crashed while doing things to nodes. They all did many things, including handling nodes, and then whenever they changed channel, or logged out and tried to log back in, they crashed.
This suggests that the node opening/disassembling/etc added stuff to character data that was ok in the server process (channel) doing it, but trying to transfer it all to another server process overflows and hangs. It's possible that if one is only slightly over the limit, then removing link skills and the other things Rexaar suggested, will put one under the limit again. However, if one has added far more nodes than that, then even removing whatever we can will still not make the character go back under the limit.
The good news is that if this is indeed related to that Error 38 bug from way back when, Nexon should still have the records of how it was solved, and be able to re-apply the fix (or extend it to include nodes) quickly.
Do note that if removing all of the above doesn't put you below the limit, you will still be locked out and you only hope is to let some items expire if you have any.
In the past, I only recall removing link skill and item expiring have an effect on freeing your character so character card and monster life might not be affected but worth the try.
It is definitely the same problem you guys are having because when I was stuck (I opened around 7 node prior to getting stuck), after inputting the pin on my Hero, the game doesn't log me in and stay at the character select screen (I appear online to buddy list, guild, but my character cannot be ./find by another character, until I close the game client (same syndrome as the character lock out bug that happened 3 years ago))
The main problem with this fix is that the success rate of this fix decrease the more node you opened in one sitting, for example, let say your character has a total 480 items/skill and the lock out limit is 500 items/skill. If you open 50 node (and did not disassemble any), then it put you at 530 items/skill making you eligible to be locked out the next time you cc or go into cash shop. Since there is only 12 link skill, removing them all will put you at 518 item/skill rendering you still locked out. Where as let say you opened 25 node (and did not disassemble any), this put you at 505 node, so removing 6 link skill will free your character from the lock out.
Wow that issue was reported on the 7th of December. Possibly even earlier and the issue was resolved on Jan 22nd. Okay I have 0 hopes of doing the Sizzling VVeekend event. Rip souls and honor exp. Time to wait until they decide to bring back those events...
Welp it looks like, I am going to be missing out on heaps of progression, content and events, gg... hehh.,, I guess I am not in this alone ;-;//
Sigh,, time to find something to get my mind off maple for the time being,,
After removing all 12 link skills and 9 character cards, I can confirm I am able to login to my character!
Although a friend of mine with the same problem has tried this and he cannot. It clearly has something to do with this "Limit" for a characters data.
If I remember correctly, Korea MS actually delayed their 128 slot expansions until a different patch. I didn't check but I think they didn't get it during their "limitless" patch and got it during their 5th job patch instead.
Mazes / 227 / Aran / Luna / January 1st around 5.00 PM CET / Changing Channels
Literally just before changing channels, I had leveled four of my Nodes to level 25: the Aran 5th job skill, the Warrior 5th job skill and two Enhancement nodes. I also had ~10k nodeshards left and (I think) exactly 200 arcane force, otherwise more than 200.
