I was just about to log on to post the same thing regarding RegEdit. Also it technically is an outside program, its no more a third-party utility than say, Notepad. It's a part of Windows and comes included in the operating system by default. That doesn't really excuse it, but its worth mentioning, as the term "third party program" usually causes people to assume "hacks" or "something that was downloaded off the internet from a malicious/cheater's website". All the guy did was open up the file on his computer that contained his game's settings, and edited it. It's harmless. I wasn't aware that it could even grant any sort of gameplay advantages until the Magnus case was pointed out in our "Maplestory at custom resolutions" thread. Another potential use, scanning the map for resources, was also listed, but I feel like that can also be said about the disparity between the three "official" resolutions we already have.
Anyway, I'm on your side Kakao. Their response to you was very misleading. I've been wanting resolutions higher than what we've got for years, and I firmly believe that its possible to make that happen. Using a higher resolution in Magnus does grant an advantage, but I can't think of many other instances aside from that. I'd rather they simply lower the spawn height of the balls or rework the boss itself a bit instead of penalizing users for going higher than 1366x768, but thats just my opinion on the matter. I've never fought Magnus.
