Nexon is definitely not strict on hacking, in fact, their leniency and dependency (I'll talk about this later) on hackers is one reason why Maplestory is so popular with hackers.

It's not the hackers that really bother me, it's the fact that Nexon (the company behind Maplestory) doesn't care. Why? Because hackers buy NX and if they ban all the hackers, they lose a shitload of cash, probably more than 50% of their total revenue from NX sales.

Nexon is located in L.A., I'm sure they get many UCLA and USC graduates working there, and I'm also sure that the Computer Science students from two of the best engineering schools in the country are not idiots. They can easily go through logs and ban every hacker. I know they have the ability to do so because they've done it before. But they choose not to, because of their financial issues.

I would rather play a pay game like WoW, because you can't buy yourself immunity from bans, but after learning my lesson from this, I'm staying away from all MMORPGs.

So for those of us who DO play actively/occasionally...what server you on?

I ran into PKPro today on Bello so that answers the question for me

I played it for a while so long ago...never did see beyond 37 with my Cleric. Stupid vaccers in the subways took all of the ghosts. =\

This would probably be the one instance where a high-rate server would be a good idea, whereas for other games you just level too fast and don't really stay in one area for more than a couple of minutes before you need to go to the next area to be efficient.

Anyone who says private servers were glitchy and unstable are bad Googlers.
I played private servers months ago and they were top notch.
I'd mention some names, but of course this is GBAtemp.

Do we have rules against mentioning them here?

Ehhh, I used to play it for a little bit. And then of course I went back to Runescape. You know I actually feel like playing runescape right now. *PLays Runescape*
eeeewwwwww runescape

I played MS for a few months back in like, grade 6... then it bored me

but MS is too damn nostalgic. I have great memories of playing it... and then when I play it again, I'm like "Fuck this, I'ma go be a FF nerd"

Private servers are illegal, so we can't give their specific names or links or anything.
Normal piracy evasion rules of GBAtemp.

hmm yeah i played MS and quited. that because the private servers came. i even made a server like 4 months ago but it was a new thing so i dident have much in it (not all of the skills worked and all that). i even was a GM in some servers.
now im planning to buy a new computer with a huge amount of Ram and make a gr8 server.
the reason is cause i like the idea

Stopped playing. Like forever. Community revolves around NX, etc. It's like voluntarily paying for a game that ultimately gets shitty boring in the later stages due to the exp curve. I used to be well addicted to it, I got a 10x character and all, but, well, that ended a while ago. Now my account's left collecting dust.
