TitanMS Creator Arrested
On October - 19 - 2008
I was messaged with a link to a translation of an Israeli newspaper from former OdinMS Staff Member, richan. He proceeded to tell me that the creator of the TitanMS source had been arrested and then sent me a Google translated version of the Israeli newspaper. Here’s a short excerpt of the article.
Grade k student was arrested this morning (Sunday) by the fraud unit of the Central District on suspicion that the network was able to break the game very popular MapleStory, Fri development of the company

Ugh! Isreal.. Such a messed up country

To Q9R42;
Your post has nothing to do with this regarding the subject.
The fact that such thing happened in Isreal has no meaning at all, but merely a fact where it happened. He did not get arrested because of Isreal or whatsoever, but because of Nexon, who are settled in Korea.
It could’ve happened anywhere, even in the USA or Western Europe.
To me your just implying that Isreal is the guilty one, which is absolutely ignorant.
Regarding the subject:
Strange really, as Nexon said at first ‘We don’t care about private servers, as long as they aren’t charging the maplers who play at it.’
Looks like they’ve changed their point of view, and they are trying to take down as many servers as they can.
It’s all so obvious that the article has been written out of Nexon’s point of view, instead of being objective.
For example; they make it sound like he hacked into the maplestory serrvers to purposefully take down nexon. Which is a total lie, he merely tried to give the players the oppurtunity to play the ‘full’ game.
Stuff like this doesn’t make me quit private servers, it made me quit maplestory in general. It just feels like it’s Nexon vs. PrivateServers right now. And that’s a bad thing.

But what would happen if Nexon took down RageZone… ExtremeTop100? Would private servers cease to exist?

hey listen nexon can keep sueing people but the will never be able to get the odinms or titanms source off the internet.

No, they won’t be able to do that, but they will be able to scare a large number of developers, which will certainly slow down the development of private servers. And if people have to wait for the content to appear on private servers, they might just say ‘The heck with it’ and go back to MapleGlobal (Or quit maplestory in general, like I)

Nexon hasn’t messed with other private servers except odin and titan…odd?

-The Following is what I think- <(’.'<)
I think Nexon is starting to take down Titan and OdinnMS because of its popularity. But since Odin and Titan are both taking MapleGlobal’s “customers” or “maplers” that MapleGlobal is becoming less popular and Nexon really doesn’t want that to happen. Technically, they don’t really need to take them both down because 1, When you start the game, Nexon shows up dfollowed by Wizet meaning they both are getting credit for it. 2, Private servers are not that different from MapleGlobal because basically, it’s just the same thing but less people. higher rates and custom NPCs.. that’s it… They just don’t realize that they’re still playing Their game. It’s not like the creators of private servers are calling MapleStory, THEIR game… Its Nexon and they’re making money from the game while creators of private servers makes them for the fun of it.

Do you people not know anything??? TitanMS and OdinMS were both sources, titan was coded in C++ and Odin was coded in Java. They were targeted because they provided the open source framework to other servers to use. They did FAR more damage then just hosting a server, they provided thousands of other servers the ability to take Nexon’s property.
Well deserved.

im sorry, but the way i see it, titan and odin were amazing, why? imagine them helping thousands of people to make thier own servers and games, they were helping so many people learn C++. Did nexon forget 1 crucial fact? When these people grow up…to heck, they may even work FOR nexon. NO chance of that happening now. Now nexon just lost alotta fans and got alotta haters. too bad,nexon. too bad.

Good lord, I didn’t see this before. I must admit this IS hilarious-I mean, this is like Muhammud Ali vs a 5 yr old, or Tiger woods vs a person who neever played gold in his or her life.
Michael, to answer your questions, the reason nexon “forgot that little fact” is because like all billion dollar private corporations, they are concerned about keeping the general populace of MS pacified and to reap a profit. After all, the purpose of a company is to provide a form or service/a false one (if its working for the mafia) and attempt to reap income.
I’M SURPRISED NEXON WILL TRAVEL HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD FROM KOREA AND AMERICA JUST TO ARREST ONE RATHER INGENIOUS STUDENT FOR CREATING AN ALTERNATE VERSION OF MAPELSTORY.
*Note: Can people try to find data from JMS, since although I play KMS, GMS, and MSEA, JMS has a lot of “cultural places” that no other servers have; private servers would make a killing blow on Nexon if this happend.

NOTE: when i wrote “or tiger woods vs a person who never played gold in his life”, i meant to say golf instead of “gold”
