Starting Maple from the website

I've been working on adding Maple Story support to DFO Control Panel (only starting the game, not popup killing, starting windowed, or switching sounds). But there's a bit of a problem. I don't seem to need to be logged in to the website to play. I can just run MapleStory.exe and log in using the actual game just like I always have. Is this true for everyone?

Another problem is that the "Start Game" link on the Maple Story site doesn't work for me. It just takes me to the Nexon Game Manager download page, even though I have it installed. Any ideas how to fix that?

Edit: LOL I have the Nexon Game Controller Firefox plugin disabled, that'd be why.

MapleStory.exe worked fine for me too (unless it was changed since a week ago). Someone in IRC said that it works "sometimes".

Does MapleStory show up as an installed program in Control Panel?

Does MapleStory show up as an installed program in Control Panel?

It does, twice actually because of an old installation that I didn't properly remove. I removed the old one, no change.

It works all the time if I'm not too gravely mistaken here. Sometimes the Log-in screen of Maple tells you to try Web log-in, but you can just ignore that and click the "Login" button again to go in.
