space, I think that the way the inventory is divided is old fashioned, suits the maplestory of 2008, not today.
The Inventory should be divided into:
[Equip] [Enhancement] [Use] [Chairs] [Set-Up] [Cash]
Equip = Same as it is right now.
Enhancement = Scrolls of all kinds, Soul shards, Stamps, Cubes...
Use = Consumables, Coupons, Potions of all kinds, buffs...
Chairs = Name is self explanatory. Name it like it is, a tab for Chairs is needed.
Set-Up = Whatever was in Set up so far, except chairs. That includes Titles, Christmas decorations, etc.
Cash = Same as it is right now.
Cash shop equipment should have its own tab, separate from normal equipment. I hate having to repeatedly enter the cash shop just to switch my NX inventory. (less)
plenty of people who do not have phones, including children.
Making this a requirement blocks people from playing the game.
This is punishment to legit players for something hackers are doing.
Please, every kid I know has a phone now. If you're too young for a phone, you're too young for an online video game. And if you have a computer, then you must certainly have a phone number. It's a legitimate verification process that companies are moving to, the problem is that GMS is a global service and is thus a little tricky to implement such a verification system.
a better solution is IP ban for good period of time. which happens sometimes for people who try logging too many times fast .
if you have an account with e-mail it needs phone verification already.
It's no bad having multiple accounts what's worrying is certain IP, locations keep accessing the game after having a previous account blocked permanently.
i say give them 3 chances if they consume it all. then a total IP block happens forever.
Firstly emails only ask for phone numbers after the first creation by the same IP (this is true for gmail at least). Secondly IP banning is by far the easiest thing to circumvent, all you need to do is reset the router and automatically have the DHCP give you a new IP. And since accounts are not tied to IP (or else we couldn't play at our friends house etc), its job done for the exploiters who probably have their own system of quick IP switching anyway.
Unfortunately, phone numbers can be spoofed and ID's can be counterfeited. There's no way to cross reference this information anyway. The reason why South Korea's system works so well is because they use their SSN which is a unique identifier.
Again with the 'perfect system' argument. Just because phone numbers and ID's can be spoofed, doesn't mean we should dump it in the bin. Phone services are less convenient than email, why else have other tech giants maintained phone verification if it was such a weak barrier? A few cheats slipping in the crack is no excuse to discard a feasible solution. (less)
