Angry Pepe Blog – GMs, Scams, and Thieves

[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][SIZE=2]One of the simplest scams is to impersonate an employee of a company in order to get valuable information from those companies’ customers. Hackers count on their online anonymity to enhance their chances of fooling you. In MapleStory, they will often impersonate a GM and attempt to fool you into giving up your account information.

Protect yourself!

Dev Blog -- State of the Game

[SIZE=2]One of the things that make massively multiplayer online games so great to work on is that they’re never “done.” There’s always another feature, another zone, a new class, or a new system to work on. MapleStory is one of the best games in that regard. Since we already have the summer content locked down, this is a great time to take a long look at where MapleStory is now and where it might be going.
