Dear Maplers,
As we've recently seen more problems with illegally operated, private
servers, we wanted to provide information to our players regarding the
dangers of these operations. Private servers are run by individuals who
already understand that they are performing an illegal activity. Thus,
the goal of private server operators is to make money using the least
amount of resources possible. That means they often engage in identity
theft, fraud, and other means to steal funds both from the official
operator, and any users of private servers.
These illegal servers do not have legal or any other binding
obligations to keep your information secure. This means your
information has a high risk of being shared, leaked or stolen from
unofficial, unsecure servers. Not just the information you write when
you register for these servers, they also track IP addresses, and are
able to obtain other information just by you logging into a private
server. And when you do play, you are using an unsecured, modified
client which may cause you to download keyloggers, viruses, and other
harmful components to your computer. And of course, you can lose
everything you worked for if the server runs into a problem or shuts
down without notice. And not to mention you miss out on the in-game
events in the official MapleStory. Fishing and Spirit Week events
anyone?
We strongly ask you not to compromise the integrity of the game for the
millions who play MapleStory North America (this includes our global
players that still connect to us) and those who play other official
versions worldwide. In addition to warning our players about private
servers, we are making sure our service is the best MapleStory
experience anywhere. Thank you for continuing to play MapleStory, and
we’ll see you online!
Thank you,
-MapleStory Staff-
