I have seen that the Maplestory Character Simulator Bannedstory got a official permission granted by Nexon America. Alot of people are creating Maplestory Fangames and Animations with the graphics and sprites you can get from here. I wanted to ask if there are rules or restrictions by doing this. Does Nexon America accept the creation of Non-Profit Maplestory Fangames with original graphics? I mean its something diffrent if people are creating private servers and earn money by doing a illegal copy of the original Maple MMORPG, but fangames are actually not a loss of money for Nexon, even more an adverticement for the original game.
I have seen there is a big spectrum of fan creations in the official Fan Art Forum here. So i wanted to ask if Fan Games are a accepted part of Maplestory Fan Art aswell.

    as far as I know. Fan games like flash games where it's not for monetary or private server use should be considered fan art/animation.
    Nexon has the final say but as long as it's something like whack-a-Shroom or a click game, you should be fine.
