A Warning About Illegal (Private) Servers - Eos - 2009-11-03

Nexon Wrote:Dear Maplers,
As we've recently seen more problems with illegally operated, private servers, we wanted to provide information to our players regarding the dangers of these operations. Private servers are run by individuals who already understand that they are performing an illegal activity. Thus, the goal of private server operators is to make money using the least amount of resources possible. That means they often engage in identity theft, fraud, and other means to steal funds both from the official operator, and any users of private servers.
These illegal servers do not have legal or any other binding obligations to keep your information secure. This means your information has a high risk of being shared, leaked or stolen from unofficial, unsecure servers. Not just the information you write when you register for these servers, they also track IP addresses, and are able to obtain other information just by you logging into a private server. And when you do play, you are using an unsecured, modified client which may cause you to download keyloggers, viruses, and other harmful components to your computer. And of course, you can lose everything you worked for if the server runs into a problem or shuts down without notice. And not to mention you miss out on the in-game events in the official MapleStory. Fishing and Spirit Week events anyone?
We strongly ask you not to compromise the integrity of the game for the millions who play MapleStory North America (this includes our global players that still connect to us) and those who play other official versions worldwide. In addition to warning our players about private servers, we are making sure our service is the best MapleStory experience anywhere. Thank you for continuing to play MapleStory, and we will see you online!
Thank you,
-MapleStory Staff-

Good thing forums don't track our IPs or something because if it did every time we browse maple fansites like SP or SW, we're putting our information at risk!

Not really. If you were, Tespia would be open already and chosen testers would be doing their job already.
Guess what? It's not happening.

Shame they (apparently) ignored my suggestion to reopen Tespia for the MWLB at the very least.

Ditto to that, and to the fact that, oh, DC hacking and other issues remain extremely prevalent and destructive in their main game itself.

I agree they need to improve b4 they bother with PS, but COME ON, the people who actually tested the content that needed testing was far outweighed by those who just wanted to plantain around with a high level player... at least say something like "Open a Better Tespia" instead of being so general....
anyways on topic: Again, this like the what... 4th time counting forum postings
