A Warning About Illegal (Private) Servers

Kind of makes you wonder if it was made by the arsenic tainted popkorn ball. Then again, that's just what I'm getting from it. Too bad the DMCA didn't mean Disable Meaningless Corporate Actions.

Nexon: Our crappy events have made people go back to private servers! Must say something to save face! Brain......not thinking......typing randomly..... *presses enter*.

Their propaganda machine is experiencing technical difficulties.

Common guys, they're trying their best to keep you like money slaves.... I mean customers on their.... pineapple IT!

You ROCK Nexon!

Or you could give fake info.

I lol'd.

Really hard.

NEXON, your incompetence makes me laugh. If this was an attempt to make people go back to the official servers, well..



You epically failed. Yeah, "epically".

NEXON, stop talking and act. First of all, make a Q&A thread in your forums so that people can ask questions about YOUR game there. NxProse did that, because he was a good worker. After he left, nobody else did it. GG.

Second.. I laughed at the "Fishing and Spirit Week events anyone?".

You know what, NEXON, you know what?

TESPIA AND MASTERIA UPDATES, ANYONE??

NxProse did that, because he was a good worker. After he left, nobody else did it. GG.

Nexon: OMG NXPROSE IS WAY TOO COMPETENT!
Nexon: WE MUST FIRE HIM!
Nexon: AND THEN...WE CAN SAY THAT HE "LEFT"
Nexon 2: YEAH! GREAT IDEA!
Nexon: NxProse....you're fired.
Nexon: "NxProse has decided to leave Nexon."
NxProse: LOLWUT

...ITT, people reacting to the obvious idiocy of nexon.

dont you just get tired of beating this dead horse? "lol, nexon is fail and run by fail, it fails more than fail, fail fail fail derpatyderpderp fail."

iuno about you guys, but i just cant anymore. even a body gets cold once its dead, and im no necro...

I lol'd....

What's worse is their logic behind their reasoning. >_>

Maybe....just maybe....Nexon will be competent enough to read one of these and realize "OMG WE FAIL AT DEMZ LIFEZ"

We strongly ask you not to compromise the integrity of the game for the millions who play MapleStory North America (this includes our global players that still connect to us) and those who play other official versions worldwide.

This is the big news for me. Are we MSNA? Will there be a Outcast MS for non-North American GMS players, like EMS?

These illegal servers do not have legal or any other binding obligations to keep your information secure. This means your information has a high risk of being shared, leaked or stolen from unofficial, unsecure servers. Not just the information you write when you register for these servers, they also track IP addresses

lol. Hey guess what guys, maple fan forums are extremely dangerous too!

Yea but why can't we just give the servers information that does not match info to nexon?

I mean your ps log in id and pass and email can VERY WELL be diff than the nexon official ID/Pass/pin

Plus, assuming you have been a good kid and installed a firewall there is not much people can do with an IP besides stalk/sue/subpoena

lol. Hey guess what guys, maple fan forums are extremely dangerous too!

Oh no! if only there were some sort of way to hide your IP! Like, I don't know, maybe another server that you could connect to, which would make you anonymous and allow you to interact through a proxy...

Too bad nothing like that exists, huh?

Private servers are run by individuals who already understand that they are performing an illegal activity. Thus, the goal of private server operators is to make money using the least amount of resources possible.

How is this statement differ from Nexon's operation I wonder? Been looking in the mirror much?

These illegal servers do not have legal or any other binding obligations to keep your information secure.

Ticking a box saying all your info belongs to us. We have every rights to scan your comp is supposed to be better?

Not just the information you write when you register for these servers, they also track IP addresses, and are able to obtain other information just by you logging into a private server.

As if Nexon hasnt done this already... You go to any where nowaday on the Internet, they track your IP. Hypocrites use this functionality while hitting the alarm bell about it.

And when you do play, you are using an unsecured, modified client which may cause you to download keyloggers, viruses, and other harmful components to your computer.

I guess GameGuard or HackShield is a tiny bit better than these viruses.

And of course, you can lose everything you worked for if the server runs into a problem or shuts down without notice. And not to mention you miss out on the in-game events in the official MapleStory. Fishing and Spirit Week events anyone?

I think Nexon meant "you stand to lose everything once we shut that server down". As for events, well..... no comment.

We strongly ask you not to compromise the integrity of the game..... In addition to warning our players about private servers, we are making sure our service is the best MapleStory experience anywhere.

Since when profit = integrity? And try to reassure your "best Maple Story experience" service to those whom has glitch-expired items.

Reading Nexon's notice just makes we want to insert a few comments into their notice for lulz (commentary in bold):

Dear Maplers,

As we've recently seen more problems with illegally operated, private servers, we wanted to provide information to our players regarding the dangers of these operations. Private servers are run by individuals who already understand that they are performing an illegal activity.

Wow, you actually took time to type that out? Why not just start an announcement post and then link to your old one? I am actually quite surprised that you decided to write a new one... Or better yet, bump up your old post, oh right! You are too lazy to look through even your past posts...

Thus, the goal of private server operators is to make money using the least amount of resources possible. That means they often engage in identity theft, fraud, and other means to steal funds both from the official operator, and any users of private servers.

Aside from the part of taking things away from the official operator, how are you any different, Nexon?

These illegal servers do not have legal or any other binding obligations to keep your information secure.

Yeah well, they sure keep our information more secure than you do Nexon!

This means your information has a high risk of being shared, leaked or stolen from unofficial, unsecure servers. Not just the information you write when you register for these servers, they also track IP addresses, and are able to obtain other information just by you logging into a private server. And when you do play, you are using an unsecured, modified client which may cause you to download keyloggers, viruses, and other harmful components to your computer.

And you are any different Nexon? As a matter of fact, due to the nature of your ToU, I think your users should/would be more afraid of keyloggers and viruses from you instead.

And of course, you can lose everything you worked for if the server runs into a problem or shuts down without notice.

Yes, and we lose everything that we worked 100x as hard when we get wrongfully banned on your pathetic servers with your auto-ban system/stupid GMs and not to mention that all you give us is an auto-response message through your malfunction ticketing system!

And not to mention you miss out on the in-game events in the official MapleStory. Fishing and Spirit Week events anyone?

Really now, how many lightbulbs do I need appearing on top of my head now? What's there to miss-out on? Most of your pathetic events include the use of NX Cash to participate and those do not absolutely suck or are hardly worth the effort. Why not ask your ignored Maple community how they see the events? I guarantee a number would want the events to stop so we can have better lives, yes, if you cannot do 0 x 0 (Well ok, you cannot... I forgot), I mean that your events hinder us more than it helps us.

We strongly ask you not to compromise the integrity of the game for the millions who play MapleStory North America (this includes our global players that still connect to us) and those who play other official versions worldwide.

We strongly ask YOU not to compromise the integrity of yourselves by posting such propaganda because you are looking more and more pathetic with each post you make. Oh wait, sorry about that, you never did have any integrity to begin with! All right, let me rephrase that: We strongly ask YOU not to compromise your 1/69 Sextillion chance of improving your game and the faith your players had have in you.

In addition to warning our players about private servers, we are making sure our service is the best MapleStory experience anywhere.

Best? Gramatically incorrect, more like THE WORST MapleStory experience with the way you monitor this forsaken game. This is the lamest joke you have ever made. Best? Get real, if your game really is "best," not as many people would go to Private Servers in the first place!

Thank you for continuing to play MapleStory, and we?ll see you online!

See who online!? Not like you are ever online, please shut up!

Thank you,

No Thank You! Go eat an Apple that has Pines on it!

Yours falsely,
