I was informed on Discord that these Cadena skills listed in this thread do not have the midair requirement in other regions. We can inquire why this restriction is in our version.

Good day everyone!

Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for this contest, but a few things to note for the winner selection and some exciting news for artists. For this contest, we kept winners to those who created a piece for the purpose of this contest. I do know some of you were short on time and submitted an entry of existing artwork, but we do want to reward those who put in the time to make something from scratch!

However, this got us thinking... What if we allowed MapleStory artists to submit a wallpaper at any time and we could swap out the landing page background image every month? We would love to see new and existing artwork submitted for the sole purpose of us featuring them through our Discord server!

Anywho, without further adieu, please give a round of applause to our winners:

Hierophantom:


Recalci:
Squeaki:
ZanSenpai:
JoTheWeirdo:
Lunarian:
Please inform me if prizes haven't been delivered by: 12/01! Again, thank you guys for joining and we'll be sure to open up an official page where you guys can submit your artwork to be featured on our Discord invite page.

Until next time~

Because the people that buy NX are also hackers/botters.

This is extremely rare as most hackers know that from the moment they hack, they risk losing their account. Most hackers are smart enough not to make investments into a sinking ship.

And that's why nexon listens to ban appeals that mention the phase of "buying NX", "I bought NX", etc. If they IP banned those people, they would lose a lot of money and will be forced to shut this game down.

You're right when you say that some players try using the fact that they spent as part of their appeal message. However, I can say that it doesn't make a difference. While most hackers typically don't spend a dime on the game, that dime's not going to save them if they get caught.

nexon America will never change the process to sign up for a new account and ask for personal info like phone numbers and stuff because they don't want to spend any of their money for extra security. Remember the MTS leak?

There's a lot to factor with setting up extra security measurements on our end compared to KMS. This is because we service many regions and not just one country. One big concern is that if a new process is introduced, how many existing players will be unable to play because they don't meet that criteria or can provide such private information?

This game is doomed and nothing will help it recover. You'll just have to accept it and play with hackers, botters and meso sellers.

We haven't given up against hackers and botters. While some of our recent attempts may not have been the best, we're trying our best to keep taking new approaches to address the illegitimate players.

Over the past weeks, we’ve seen Maplers express their concerns in regards to playing Kanna, due to a risk of potentially getting banned.

We would like to confirm with the community that we fully understand where these concerns stem from. This ultimately led us towards performing extensive investigations into each account during the period of Kanna bans.

After having investigated each case, here is what was decided:

• Bans from this particular group of Kanna bans were revoked. Any accounts that are still banned after this action are due to illegitimate program detections unrelated to these Kanna bans.
• Compensation is being planned for all Kanna characters who were previously banned due to this particular detection.
• Maplers should have no concerns when playing Kanna legitimately moving forward.
• We deeply apologize to legitimate Maplers who were caught between our efforts to address the issue of hackers in MapleStory.

We will do our best to avoid these cases from happening again in the future and continue to combat against the usage of illegitimate programs.

Thank you,

- The MapleStory Team

I predict they will bring it back in 2019 with no changes , bug fixes or improvements.

I mean, hopefully that wouldn't be the case. Just looking at how long Omega Sector was gone for, but at least it was revamped.

GMS followed KMS with omega sector, this why we got it.. sadly KMS doesn't have Masteria and Crimsonwood Keep pq, so its all up to Nexon NA..

Returning Crimsonwood Keep Party Quest is a collaborative effort with our developer team. It's not as black and white in the sense that it all comes down to one side making the decision.

Ultimately, we are communicating with our developers on what would require change to bring the content back.
CWKPQ being re-released without any changes would make it:

1. Ridiculously easy
2. Unrewarding
3. Unplayable

Ridiculously easy unless all obstacles were changed to accommodate for the fact almost every class has a flash jump of some sorts and Blink may potentially be a thing. Additionally, all enemies would have to have their stats reworked to match the power creep from when the content was first released.

Unrewarding because the Mark of Narician was a big reason as to why Maplers ran it in the past. Any new pendant equipment would immediately be compared to Gollux so the key reward would have to be reworked or perhaps removed (I'm not sure if Maplers would be happy to see a new BiS pendant and the introduction of more power creep)

Unplayable ties directly to the content being unrewarding if the content were released without any sort of extensive rework by our developers. If the rewards aren't good and because the content itself requires the cooperation of 2 members of each job then there won't be any groups running it.
