Can fame hackers frame legits?

Posted by M3// Alvin On March - 30 - 2008

Well. There’s been a story going around about how the fame hackers assuming to get 30k fame in no time at all can go onto a player who is AFK and mass fame them to 30k, that then makes everyone think the innocent guy who just got a bunch of fame is a hacker and he will get banned. There’s many sides to this story but from what I know, going afk at this moment is very risky because of the packet editing situation. If you are discovered with lots of fame the Nexon GMs may not believe your story even if your 100% legit and they will ban you.

So this is a warning. Don’t go AFK in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise you could be mass famed, then banned, whether you are legit or not

Packet Editing Outbreak for MapleGlobal Fame Rankings

Posted by Savage On March - 28 - 2008

In the late hours of Thursday night, some users may have noticed that there have been some 40+ pages full of users with 30,000 fame and all ranked number 1. There has been a leak of packet editing programs to the public and many users have used it to increase their fame. What is “Packet Editing?” Basically it’s a program that allows you to send information from your computer to a certain page or system, in this case: to Nexon.

This outbreak is disturbing because it is the first major successful event that has occurred in which hundreds of users have had access to a program that has been able to infiltrate Nexon’s system and change the rankings. If anything it proves Nexon’s security is not what it used to be, or at least it appears that way. No longer is hacking restricted to in-game, but also to information on the MapleGlobal website.

Users are advised to be wary of any suspicious files and to scrutinize what files they receive from online friends. One thing for sure is that the users who have used a packet editing program to change their fame rank have made a big mistake: Nexon can easily pick out who and who did not use the program making it easy picking for banning. We can only wait and see if and what action Nexon America will take.

It’s Official, FangBlade Level 200

Posted by Savage On March - 15 - 2008

Yes it’s official! This morning most users woke up to find out that FangBlade (Beran) was the first gMS’er to hit 200. Many maplers who are mature enough will applaud him, while others will definitely send him hate messages. This is truly where we will see the maurity of MapleGlobal.

Maple-News.com would like to wish FangBlade a big congratz and to keep up the good work!

FangBlade About To Hit 200

Posted by Savage On March - 12 - 2008

FangBlade, currently ranked number one on MapleGlobal ranks, is one long level away from the final level in MapleStory: Level 200. He will be the first ever MapleGlobal player to hit 200 in the history of the game. Although some people are rooting for Novinha and Korwyn, they don’t seem to have a chance to catch up to FangBlade, let alone get to 200 before him.

In other versions it’s said that at level 200 you get “NPC” status and a special monster to tame only available to those reached level 200. Will Nexon throw in something extra to distinguish GMS from the other versions? It seems very unlikely that they will even acknowledge him seeing as they rarely acknowledge any players unless they’ve committed a Terms of Service violation. It will be quite interesting to see how this develops and we’ll continue to bring you any updates as they occur.

Brazil MS, coming soon!

Posted by M3// Alvin On March - 5 - 2008

Proof

http://itnews.inews24.com/php/news_view.php?g_serial=307330&g_menu=020500

Here is my rough translation (online translators aren’t as good as me :D )

MapleStory, a successful game company in East Asia, North America and Europe is now expanding to South America, India and the Third World Countries.

The game is called MapleStory; which has already been successful in 58 countries is now coming to this.

Nexon President, Kang Shin Chul has announced that there international business throughout the SEA (south east asia), America and Europe should be improved and MapleStory will be announced to South America and other unintroduced markets in 2008.

According to President Kang, Nexon will introduce MapleStory to India and Brazil first in 2008, which the IT Infra are made. Out of these, Brazil, which has a big market will be the first country to be introduced this year.

President Kang stated that MapleStory which has been the most successful game internationally will be the first game of the sort to be introduced in that area and currently discussing it with the gaming companies in Brazil.

In Brazil, Gravity’s Ragnarok, CCR’s RF Online and other Korean Online games are already introduced, but are not very successful at this time.

‘MapleStory is introduced to USA, Canada and other English speaking countries and started the Global service after introducing it to the SEA Market. In London, the EMS service has been operating under many languages.

This game is now introduced to 58 countries and 76 million users are playing. Especially for the global service which are for English speaking users has sold six hundred thousand items and increased revenue to 1 million 600 thousand dollars.

It has been recorded that Nexon is earning 300 billion won every year. In the year of 2007, especially international services brought much money.

It has been expected that Nexon will succed in unintroduced and new countries.

This is amazing considering, that MapleStory as a whole IS BEATING WoW :O
Anyways, Brazil should be a good addition to what is perhaps the world’s best MMORPG for free.
