Justin Wrote:They can't enforce the data mining rule... if you don't play the game you don't have to agree to the terms of service - and even then, what will they do? Lol file a C&D? Data mining isn't illegal. Good luck there Nexon. They just want a clear excuse to ban people on their forums for posting extracted data if they so please.

Marksman Bryan Wrote:sounds like it's more against maple.fm to me, nexon fucking hates that website

xparasite9 Wrote:considering that I was making about uh... 30,000 requests in a day, per week... could be a toss up between me and them.

SaptaZapta Wrote:Eos downloaded the entire rankings every day while he was running the Time To Level calculator. It never bothered them.
The bit about your character and accounts registered to you sounds like it's aimed at mapler.me or w/e Tyler's social thing was (that has been shut down long ago).
But if you want to take the credit (blame?), enjoy.
