If you get an advertisement on a SMEGAPHONE, be sure to ignore it, it would say:
From that fucking bitch who scammed me said:
Go to our website, log in from there, and play MapleStory from our website! 25k NX will be added to your account
I had 37m mesos, and it's all gone, became 100k mesos.
My MS friend on Skype told me:
My friend and I had made a code word long time ago, just to recognize each other. If I say Rapes, my friend has to answer by saying that it is the best thing a woman can get. My friend had used that code word.

So many people did, lol.
I can't believe I fell for that, I whispered the person, to give me a guarantee that it'll work. I bet he got one of his group members to actually guarantee me, and I believed him.

When people online guarantee things, it doesn't mean shit. I've had people swear their first born sons to me, didn't stop me from saying fuck off. I feel a bit bad for you. I feel like you'd be the one who'd believe that you won a mysterious fortune from your great great granduncle in Nigeria... :P No offense, of course. :D

I remember Maplestory. Does the piece of shit still install a rootkit onto your system? Either way, I had an account long ago, wouldn't be surprised if I got this. Wait, isn't this what the spam bucket is for?

Rootkit? What are you talking about?

This reminds me, I need to log into my MapleStory account and start playing again.

I just don't get it why people so excited when they see spam/ads giving you something for free with requirement inserting your credit card/username/password.

if they are willing to give something for your digital toons, all they need is your character names, that's it.
anything require beyond that is scammer most of time.

also the publishers usually just send their offering through email.
sometimes I just don't understand why it's so hard for people not falling for this trick?

In all fairness mate I fell for the same sort of thing back when I was about your age, maybe a year or two older.

Luckily I didn't get hacked. I tried to log in to what claimed to be an in-browser version of the game that had hacks built into it. It would never log in. I ended up changing my password without ever an issue shortly thereafter.

Never played Maple Story but I'm pretty sure the T&C and official literature will warn you against doing exactly this kind of thing. But as the old saying goes: You can't cheat an honest man...

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    what is nps?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, what about GTA v onl... O Yea the PS3 versión got discontinued
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like the world's cheapest pc build can play gtaV
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    In modern standards
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, then why mine can't?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 What is nps you mentioned?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    R.I.P. LittleBigPlanet PS3 servers
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    LBP2 still the goat tho
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm surprised any PS3 servers are still up, tbh
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Alot of manufactures do care about older consoles they just want to whine about piracy

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
