I know this doesn't relate to this thread directly, but I'd like to say something about Nexon and possibly AsiaSoft's Terms of Service.
The Terms of Service that we're supposed to abide by is a very broken document. When most of us joined MapleStory during or soon after Beta, Nexon had a very primitive Terms of Service, since they didn't have much developed yet. However, they made it so they can change their Terms of Service at any point in time to bend whatever will they wish. For example, they changed a lot of my friends' security questions, yet they do not allow my friends to regain that information which they changed, since Nexon made it so they can edit accounts at their will. So, theoretically, you can spend $5,000,000 on Nexon Cash and be a fully legit player, yet Nexon bans you for something you have not done; i.e, false hacking ban. Therefore, you've lost a ton of money that you 'donated' to the comapny that hosts the game server that you love to play on, just so Nexon can turn around and ban you.
Moral of my post: Nexon (and possibly AsiaSoft) should REALLY look into fixing themSELVES before trying to get rid of things as miniscule as private servers, which doesn't take TOO many people from the offical game (look at Scania for instance).
