Asiasoft Starts Action Against Private Servers (AAPS) Campaign

Not only the game play experience will not be as realistic as the official servers, the game support will not be present to make a wonderful experience,” said Mr Gerry Ung, Managing Director for Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd.

Oh, it won't be as realistic because it will be BETTER. No more money runs everything, no more major bugs that won't be fixed, and so on. Definitly not realistic.

As for the game support...wonderful experience? They remind me of 4 year old kids who leave their toys laying around after they're done playing with them. They leave so many glitches and need so many server checks to fix them...blech.

“We hope the gaming community will recognise the high risks involved with no proper safeguard against the loss of valuable in-game items, hence engage with us and continue to play in the official servers. We will work closely with the game developers to bring richer and more quality content to enhance the game play experience.”

Yay, more empty promises!

Currently, MapleStory is already a free-to-play game. We can download and play it free-of-charge so players really shouldn’t see the need to resort to private game servers to enjoy the game.

Free to play? Yes. Free to enjoy? Meh.

Like 15 year-old Phyllis Wan (from Pei Hwa Secondary School) said in the report, “Playing on a private server defeats the purpose of the game. There is no challenge if everything is easily obtainable.”

5 Bucks they runs off NX that they buys weekly.

Let’s be fair to the game developers and other players. Private servers do not benefit the game because they are not officially supported by developers to eliminate game glitches and errors.

They are supported by developers - the good ones, anyways. They fix all of the problems that Nexon can't.

There is no fun in private servers.

And George W. Bush is getting another 4 years. Whoops.

For example, in some pirated versions of Maple Story, killing a snail can give a player 50 experience points - almost 20 times the value in the original game.

Almost 17*


Meh. Private servers may not be right, but they're fun and enjoyable. If only Nexon was doing this - I'd be going on till the night turned to day.
