        <description><![CDATA[I realize you have to try and pretend your game is playable for some people to save your own face, but the fact that no one has been able to play this game for 3 solid days now is a blatant disregard for your loyal customers. Not only that, but the fact that you act as if it's a &quot;portion&quot; of the community experiencing these issues is a slap in the face to every person who plays this game. I have been playing MapleStory since it's original Beta release in like 2003 or 2004, and this is without a doubt the worst maintenance state I've ever seen this game in. Get your act together and do what's necessary to keep the game stable, whether it be hiring actual competent employees or weeding out the imbeciles providing the latest patches. You're destroying your player base each day this nonsense goes on.<br />
<br />
For many of your players, MapleStory is a means of escaping daily stresses and allowing themselves to immerse in a world where they can be a part of a community and feel as though the company they sink hard earned money into is allocating that money in a way that's beneficial to them as a player. With your consistently laggy gameplay, disregard for glitched and important quests, and lack of swift acknowledgement of your core game issues (just to name a few,) you are making all of these people feel as though their monetary and otherwise loyal commitment to this game is unappreciated. Instead of fixing these issues, you throw 2x events and in-game &quot;compensation&quot; at people as if it's what your players want. It's an extremely bad look for you as a company. I for one, if given the chance, would vote to have the servers taken down for an extended period of time (even a week+) to have these core issues addressed and release a stable version of the game we've all grown up with and come to love over the years. Otherwise, just close down your game permanently and cut your losses. It's clear you've thrown in the towel long ago.<br />
<br />
Take this as you will. Some may disagree and that's perfectly fine, but I'm sure a majority of people will agree that these issues are a LOT bigger than you make them out to be.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I should've thought of/done this long ago rather than starve myself through all those school lunch times just so I could get a Store permit and sell stuff only to get insults in return instead from narrow-minded players who refused to join my guild.<br />
<br />
After all these years of failed leveling, upgrading, and recruiting of guild members, and a destroyed Ghost Ship Exorcist badge on a 3 year old lvl 210 Mechanic, I decided to retire to a MapleStory Private Server. After playing on a Private Server for the first time after 3 years on GMS, I realized &quot;I could've had all my <b>MapleStory Short Story videos</b> done by now&quot;. But instead, I wasted it all on daily-limited quests and trying to get mesos to upgrade equips as well as $600CAD just to get nx and buy stuff (such as meso sacs and shop permits) to get things across and learn things in MS the hard way. Yes, <b>I literally sacrificed $600CAD in high school lunch money just to get stuff like hair coupons in MS when I could've used that money to get a supercomputer.</b> The destroyed GSE badge on my 3 year old 210 mechanic (via star enhancement window (which did leave behind the trace of the equip. So I can transfer it's trace to an exact copy of the badge.)), plus Nexon's lack of equipment compensation ultimately led me to doing <b>the one thing</b> no one would ever encourage me to do: <b>I gave up on GMS</b>. Without my GSE badge, I can't continue on GMS. Plus, I wasted too much real money just to sell stuff in an attempt to get more mesos. Instead, I got more insults than mesos from players. Such as &quot;Shoo.&quot;, &quot;@No.&quot;, and &quot;Leave.&quot;.<br />
<br />
So my big question here is <b>how</b> do you make the latest version of a MS Private Server? Like, do they break into Nexon's HQ and extract all the sprites, maps, sound effects, etc off their computers and then reconstruct it like a jigsaw puzzle? If they did, then I'll have to pack my bags and fly to California in order to do that. Like, the MS files have to come from somewhere. Also, its the only way to acquire the Wizet Invincible Hat. Plus, there are rules on other Private Server sites that say things like &quot;no hacking, injecting of tools/equips/packets, no wz file editing, etc&quot;. I feel like I deserve a vacation from this game, but don't wanna recollect all the mesos and equips myself. I gotta make up for the 3 years of wasted time on MS.<br />
<br />
In addition to the hat, the GM class itself is making me jealous. Yes, theres actually a class called &quot;SuperGM&quot;. So with a personal Private Server (a Private Server meant for my own personal usage), I can see what it's like to be a GM and bypass all the other private server site rules. Plus, theres a skill called &quot;Super Dragon Roar&quot; that does <b>%1000 damage to all monsters on screen.</b><br />
<br />
While we're on this topic about hacking, why are bots bad? I <b>NEVER</b> hack, but as a good player from GMS, the only good use I see for them is that they can allow me to farm mesos while I do house chores. Of course, I could call in my <b>human friend</b> to play MS for me while I make breakfast/lunch/dinner, do laundry, etc. So why are bots taboo to mmorpg moderators like MapleStory? That and having my friend play MS for me will make no difference (at least thats what I think).<br />
<br />
A side question: why or how are Private Servers bad? Besides the fact that they allow you to play the game and get stuff absolutely free, I don't see how Private Servers are bad. Also, when you create a Private Server, do you as the admin, get a Wizet Invincible Hat?<br />
<br />
Also, how do I safeguard my PS from Nexon so they don't find it? <b>-Removed-</b> got shut down when Nexon somehow discovered their ip address.<br />
<br />
So with this, I'll have to put my MikuMikuDance project on hold for now. I gotta wait til MS2 is released so I can port its models to MMD.<br />
<br />
Oh, 1 more thing. Besides internet service, how does a Private Server require funds to run? Because one of them said &quot;Please donate as Private Servers need funds to run. I've been paying out of my own pocket for months now.&quot;.]]>
