Not very open-minded forum moderators
To clarify what happened, I had a problem in the game that I wanted fixed so I went to the forums to get some help and my help was ignored. What happened in the game was that I was doing the beginning quests for the Afterlands and I had mistakenly progressed through the story skipping important quests to progress further in the questline. I had reported this in a forum but it was not forwarded because it was too hard to read saying "Heyo, This is very hard to read - I'm having a hard time understanding the issue. Please use this guideline thread to edit your post. I will not be forwarding the issue until this is done." so then I revised the report with less details but then was ignored saying "It does indeed sound like things are working as intended. I've locked this thread. If you experience another issue, please submit another bug report. Thanks". I was shocked to see this posted and infuriated to see that I could not say anything more about this problem I had. Things were not even working as intended for me because I was not able to continue through the Afterlands. I had reproduced pretty remembered up steps of how this even happened in the first place but was initially ignored and I felt that they did not even test those steps in the first place. I assume that they really think of me as stupid and incompetent because of this problem happening in the first place and I bet they thought "This will not be noticed by anyone except for incompetent fools like you" and I feel really spiteful and angered at how the forum moderators do not even try hard enough to even look and figure out this problem. I bet they even say that I am stupid because I did not read how to post a bug report in the first place. I would never trust the forum moderators for help when even they could not figure out my problem when I had clearly put in details. I am sure a normal person could figure out my problem easily if they played through. If you ban me from Maplestory and these forums go ahead, I will never, NEVER come back here again unless this problem is looked.

If the problem is, as DreamWeaver said, that there are no quests in the Land of Riches and no NPC will take you either forward or back, I guess the mods missed that point. They're only human.
From what you said in your post and your follow-up comment, you keep trying to go back to the Land of Warriors, which is intentionally impossible. I asked if Akyasha had some dialog that allowed you to progress forward to the Land of Contemplation, though you never particularly answered. If you can keep going forward, you'll eventually wind up in the Land of Warriors again and can complete the quest with no issue.
We understood your issue just fine; you accidentally skipped to the Land of Riches without making the sun go down. What I was asking for was some clarification:
Can you speak with Akyasha and travel to the Land of Contemplation?
Again, a screenshot of Akyasha's dialog would be very helpful; you can take a screenshot using either the Scroll Lock key (the game's default screenshot key, which will save a full-resolution .jpg image of your game in your Maplestory game files, the default location being C:\Nexon\Library\maplestory\appdata ), or you can use the Prnt Scrn key, which will copy whatever is visible on your screen (you can then press CTRL+V in Paint or something to obtain the image, and crop out anything you don't want).
After taking the screenshot, upload it to Imgur, Tinypic, or another image hosting website of your choice.
Once uploaded, right click on the image and select "copy image URL". Then, paste that link onto the forum using the IMG tag, like so:
If you are stuck and cannot move on to the Land of Contemplation, you can try sending a ticket from the support center to get yourself unstuck. I cannot guarantee that they can help with the issue, but if you're polite and detailed there's a possibility that the GM can teleport you back to the Land of Warriors manually. After creating the ticket, speaking with Live Chat during their regular hours (10:00AM - 5:00PM Pacific time Monday-Wednesday, or 1:00PM - 5:00PM Saturday/Sunday) might help you explain your issue to someone in person.
The NPC Ashkaya exists in every land and directly in front of the door. Ashkaya will have two dialog options: one teleports you to the big door, the other teleports you to the next land. The quests inside the pot shouldn't particularly affect Ashkaya's dialog, and the dialog should be the same in every land.
The Afterlands can only move in one direction, that's part of the game mechanics (and the lore, to an extent) for that particular area. So it's unlikely that a function to move backwards would be implemented, sorry.
I will add that I did try to replicate the bug on my Bowman just now (5:30PM Pacific time, October 26th) and was unable to (Ashkaya does not offer an option to teleport me to the Land of Riches until I complete the basic quests in the Land of Warriors: https://i.imgur.com/sfUXDF5.png?1 ). So my best advice is that you submit a ticket to support to try and get your character unstuck. Your parents shouldn't find out, unless they read your email without asking you.
The sun pulley is a reactor, which basically means that you normal-attack the gear at the bottom of the pole to lower the sun. It has no dialog options on its own; when the sun is at the bottom it's night and when it's at the top it's day. I did test both before and after lowering the sun, and was not able to move to the Land of Riches until after I had completed all available quests in the Land of Warriors.
I'm not a GM myself, I'm just a normal player, so I can't help unstick you personally. Your best option would be to submit a ticket and talk with Live Chat if possible; they are actual GMs and have the ability to teleport you. Sorry I can't be of more help, but that's my advice.
You too? With me, the door opened before I used all the keys, so I have one in my inventory taking up a slot still. Very annoying.
