That's why you have to download maplestory to play it, and that's why maplestory is so relative "easy" to hack for hackers, almost EVERYTHING is client sided. The only thing a maplestory server does, is save all player data (all items that are possesed) in a database and connect the different clients that login to it to they can communicate with each other...
AFAIK, all pservers work like this...
Private servers utilize WZ files (on their server) to operate. That's stealing. It's probably even illegal just for the mere fact that the game is still called MAPLESTORY.
If you made a game, would you want people stealing your players/customers because some sh!thead decided to copy your game? And don't even say that Nexon loses their players because of bad customer service. People go to private servers for the easily obtained levels and godly items, without having to put any effort into it.
I see private servers like cheating on video games. It's entertaining to see what you can do at first but then it gets really boring. There's no difficulty, competition or sense of accomplishment, and after a short while you'll run out of things to do.
