  • Says Maplestory is under maintenance?

    They should compensate by giving us another burning event :^)

  • It's time for a change.

    .
    i wanna chime in and tell you a little something.

    hackers and botters will always find a way around any security set in place. i have played MMORPG's that cost money, i would still get messages advertising illicit activity's like selling in game currency for real money and such. heck they may even go as far as hacking other peoples accounts to advertise for all i know.

    there is an old saying to keep in mind; "Where there's a will, there's a way." that goes double when money can be made. hackers, cheaters, and botters really ruin games, but there is no real magic bullet to stop them 100%. Nexon will do what it can to stop them, but there is only so much they can do at one time.

    No one is denying that hackers will find a way, we all know hacking is a fact of online games you don't need to enlighten us about it. But to yield all efforts of mitigating the damage because there isn't a 'magic bullet' is a petty cop out. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the same rehashed excuse of 'b-but hackers will found a way'. No one is asking for perfect solution but we can do better to deter abusive behaviour, like you said where there's a will there's a way.

    What happens to players that don't own a phone? Will they be able to play their account?

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh. If they have a computer to play the game they have a phone simple enough this is 2017.

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh. Owning a phone can be expensive and confusing for kids, not everyone can have one, believe it or not. I can't believe people can be this ignorant, this is 2017. iHUHPgR.png

    lmao kids as young as 4 are savvy enough to use an ipad in 2017.

    So the problems with the phone numbers is how easy it is to swap numbers. Say you make an account with your real number then hack and get banned. Bit whoop go onto google voice, or any other phone service even the paid for ones, and grab a unclaimed number link it to your normal number and there you go. Get banned again? Just grab another number. Number already banned from other hackers using it? Just get another. By the time they run out of numbers to use new players probably wouldn't be able to play.

    So defiantly need a more static form of verification.

    Google voice charges for every new number, like other reliable services. The point is that hackers don't want to pay for new accounts and if they're forced to do it they will either limit themselves or give in. You seem to think temporary phone services can simply conjure up an infinite supply of new phone numbers under limited bandwidth.

    There are no perfect solutions here, its better that we have a practical method of account verification than having to jump through hoops just because it would otherwise allow 1 hacker inside the system.

  • Will the Wondroid event ever return in the future?

    If it does return it will probably be months or even a year from now.

    We would get a slight hint if maple music festival would make a return since it was a similar event from TMS.
