Arwoo

The winners have been selected! We saw quite the number of creative, silly, and simply cool ideas to set the stage for our new characters. Keep in mind that these are only the forum winners and that we'll be reaching out to the winners on Twitter through Twitter!

Say congratz to the following:

Khongi:
Love the effort put in to make it truly seem as though Cadena had the Yeti on a chain leash! While the forest is an unlikely place to find a Yeti, it adds to the overall silliness.


MeowYami:
It's not hard to imagine Cadena on a Bike! She does indeed have the look of a biker and would totally resort to stealing since she's a thief.

Squeak:
Super cool and the picture truly helps you understand why his name is Illium!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest and don't be discouraged if you didn't win! You may have won on Twitter and we'll be reaching out to the winners there shortly.

We'll be sending out the prizes before the end of this month so please contact us if you do not receive your item by January. For those who won, we'll be contacting you through the forum private message to collect the information required to send everyone their prize!

As I've said before, the skepticism is much justified and for more reasons than the examples you've given.

What about monitoring Hard Lucid? 25 Star Enhancements and Flames? We haven't forgotten the claims that the content would be impossible for GMS without the addition of 25 Stars and Flames. Sure, it has been cleared already by a number of Maplers after Arcana and the increase to AF, but is it where we want it to be? Should hard Lucid only be cleared by the less than 1% population?

What about monitoring world population? Ever since the World Leap event, there were many concerns of low population worlds due to many Maplers moving to Bera. Is anything being done to address those who weren't able to leap due to bugs or issues in addition to the wider issue?

What about monitoring Kanna and other class balance? Ever since the changes to Haku's Blessing and even to Kishin, the class was reported by the community to be weak. Are there plans to address Kishin or make improvements to Kanna's current state?

What about monitoring the drop rate changes? Is anything being done to address the reports of low rates on acquiring symbols and droplets? What about Nebulites? Are there plans to make these more accessible? Not through events, but through pure in-game content.

What about the boss changes and KMS maps no longer being effective? What are these long term changes and will you truly make such changes to improve the meso income in Reboot?

Despite the justifiable skepticism, it's not a lie when we say that these issues aren't being forgotten.
Although this very message is the source of community frustrations, we're going to keep up our persistence to communicate these issues to you and the game teams.

Hi everyone! This thread will be closed while the judging period is underway. We'll have the winners posted here by the end of this week so keep your eyes peeled!

THERE IS NOTHING in code of conduct that says you cant have any thrid party program running as long as it does not interfere with maplestory so yes you can have discord spoitfy or anything as long as it does not affect maplestory.

All of this is irrelevant if the autoban system is running rampant indiscriminately.

Anyways, Arwoo addressed autobans on the Livestream just now and said there should be an official response today about the issue. I really hope so, as I'd like to play for the rest of the weekend without fearing for my account.

In regards to the investigations, I made a post here of potential causes: http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/comment/65332/#Comment_65332

I highly recommend triple checking to see if any of these types of programs are running in the back even if it doesn't coincide with MapleStory. Apologies guys, but it seems the messaging will be tied in with the producer letter on Monday so until then, please refer to the post above.

Thanks!

As some of you may have noticed already, we have removed the 24 hour cooldown requirement before claiming a name of a deleted character. We do apologize to those of you who dealt with this requirement over the past few days, and can only hope that you were able to claim the name you had saved.

Thanks guys!

Thank you to the dev team for taking care of this as soon as possible. Is there a guarantee that this IGN cooldown will not return to GMS?

Hopefully it won't return, but if it does, we'll be sure to raise it as an issue and have it swiftly addressed.
