I’ve always wanted to meet and FBI agent. BRING IT NEXON!

Posted on March 31st, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Haha. The FBI? That’s hilarious. Obviously the death threats are sent by immature kids and probably aren’t very harmful. o-o I really wonder, with all those other better things the FBI could be doing, why they would waste their time with OBVIOUSLY non-harmful emails that really have no truth to them? “sorry.”? SORRY? Oh please, you aren’t sorry, don’t tell lies. Lying is bad. :[

The thing is that private servers will probably always exist so Nexon should try to find the root of the problem (themselves). Just saying that private servers are illegal either way won’t convince anyone anything. The root of the problem is that people play private servers because the real game isn’t fun enough. So maybe Nexon should start listening to those “good reasons” and maybe taking some of those reasons into consideration and adding them to the game.

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 3:25 am

I am an ex-desu ms’er i had 120 rebirths. i really am very disspoiinted at nexon for what theyve done. firstly, id like to go through some basic arguments and say my opinion about all this.
firstly, the reason why nexon cant lower their rates is because it would be VERY asshole-ish to all those who have wasted all their time getting to high lvl’s, also maple would be overrun by high lvl noobs,(noobs is one of the things maple is notorious for,) so they should just let private servers keep running, but that would mean less customers for them; so in my opinion nexon itself should host its own private server, but if they did that the real maple would die, since everybody would migrate. there isnt an easy
solution to this.
secondly, from my own experience *ive been mapling for…4 years now? i have 2 lvl 80’s in nexon MS* Global MS has virtually NO help, NO customer service, NO GM’s, NO events, no nothing, from my personal experience, private servers are way better managed, more enjoyable and more everything than real maple.
Desuer and Desu Player have some very good points, DesuMaple was probably my favorite private server, no lagg, perfect rates, perfect item prices, everything was great.
the reason nexon MS is still in the “buisness” is because the noobs that join the real MS arent informed on private servers and arent aware on how to use them. i was amazed when i first discovered private servers, but it took me long to find out; i was trying to fidn out how to hack, because i had grown tired to lvlin when i saw a post “why hack, when u can just play in a private server?” that lead me to HopeMS, and thats where i started.

summing up, in my opinion, the best way for us to combat nexon is to get private servers running somewhere they wont be able to do anyhting about it, like in the middle east for example, and manage it from far, sort of organize all the private server lovers and do this. AND the MOST IMPORTANT PART: making Global MS’ers aware of private servers, and making them simple, and easy to work with. the way to do this would be to get support from famous websites like besilmarket, and hidden-street, they would diffuse the info fast. another good way would be spamming on normal maple.
if we could get enough maplers to leave maple and join our side, soon nexon would be loosing out and they would have to do something about it, something BIG, because real nexon really needs to change, because once people see private servers, global MS is just a boring game with no support or gm’s.
i think this is all possible, and lastly, RIP to desu-ms and to Kyra-ms.
and if anybody from nexon reads this, take this all into consideration, try out a private server, and think logically, its WAY better than real ms. teleport NPC’s, rebirths, fast lvl’ing, the fact you can buy lots of stuff at npc’s, there are GM’s always online and interacting with players, and much more.
RIP GLOBAL MS.

i agree, though. i really think being violent isnt the way to do this. but there has to be something that can be done, so that maplers can enjoy maple. what if they do it witough donation? wouldnt the be non-profit? there has to be a legal way to get though this. or maple itself should consider making high-exp servers? such a complicated issue.

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 12:00 pm

i did, i dont play anymore, what i mean is that the pirate versions are overall better, and i see your point but for real fans, there should be a way to enjoy the private servers, i know that there probably isnt, but dammit, i just wana maple!

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 3:42 pm

kurikami.i’ll rather u play sydneyMS its choke better than desuMS.i meant 500exp,10000messos,50drop rate.and other good things better than desu.if possible playing sydneyMS add me xQuYx.

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 5:14 pm

somebody, thats true, but i mean, if people were bitching about my game as much as ppl bitch about private server MS, and i noticed the amount of potential profit in changing the game i would. this is just made up, but from my personal experience im guessing more than half the maplers quit before lvl 40, it nexon changed, people would maple much more and they would get more profit. the demand is all for private servers now adays, and since people have noticed that, they spawn everywhere. nexon is trying to monopolize maple, but GMS simply cant susbstitute private servers. if nexon changed a bit, it would make all the private servers shut down simply because real maple is the same!
but its true and there is no denying that its illegal. and a question: sindneyMS has been one of the most popular private servers, how come its never gotten shut down?

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 7:07 pm

What Nexon does is a business. It does what it wants freely, even taking out popular private servers because it makes a “dent” on their profits.

In case, I sensed a missed opportunity for Nexon to draw back it’s previous users. Unfortunately, Nexon decides to take down private servers because it’s their intellectual property. They could have improved the game and be the best.

Of course, new players are getting better treatments recently than in the past.

Posted on April 1st, 2009 at 10:19 pm

I think at least they should maybe reconstruct their game and make it like Steam ie: CounterStrikeSource and make pickable servers with good admins. I mean, then you could go into any rate you’d like, without the hassle of finding a new private server or making one because the DMCA is just stupid and should die.

Posted on April 2nd, 2009 at 11:56 am

I like how after the kids were called imature, they continue to tell the federal agencies to screw off and die.

Posted on April 2nd, 2009 at 6:21 pm

“if nexon could just do a patch about taking the unused npcs and all the other unneeded parts then it would be less laggy and more people wont quit.”

People quit more due to the EXP rate than the lagginess, and it doesn’t have much to do with NPC files stored on your computer to create lag either. It has more to do with their servers, how busy they are, Internet connection, and how good your computer’s hardware is.

I agree entirely with Mr.Lloyd Korn though.
He’s an intelligent man, that does his job well.

Nexon has enough money to send the FBI out to people, It doesn’t take much to send one to your door and speak to you and/or your parents about sending threatening letters off to people, and having them explain the laws of intellectual property.

Nexon is right. Private server owners are wrong.
Nexon is a business. Private servers are an illegal creation.

Nexon making a better way to stop hackers? Please. Let’s get real. If you haven’t noticed, Nexon feeds off hackers. For God’s sake, they made a cash item just for them. Nexon has been running on the same shitty gameguard for 4 years and you think this new guy is going to do anything about it? Hell no, that would cost them money.

I lol’d at the FBI thing, however much it may be true, but just the fact of imagining that the FBI doesn’t have anything better to do while we’re still in war makes me chuckle.

Oh, by the way, you cannot relate to Nexon’s situation because it is so much more different than yours. When you say stealing music, you’re implying that someone is taking it for their own and pirating it on the streets. Limewire and pirating are two different things. As for the private servers, their hardly making money off of Nexon and it has been modified to suit the needs of whoever wishes to play on that server. Ah, see that’s the illegal part of the issue, now isn’t it? Wait a second, once again, this has to do with money. Nexon has obviously been planning an attack like this on private servers for a while. They have had the capabilities to do everything that every GMS player has been waiting for the whole time and we know it. We’re talking about a company that makes millions of dollars a year, and you’re telling me that they can’t make their game impossible to recode? Do you know how easy it was for those beginning private servers to repack that shit?

Kinda reminds me of our own Government, how about you?

First off, every retard going “Private servers are illegal” and “Nexon is omfg right” is a complete dumb ass. Emulation is more then legal, the only thing that Nexon is crying over is a shitty client, which can easily be won over in court but noone wants to take the chance to. Nexon can’t do shit and are just trying to bluff their way to success as they are a bunch of Illiterate unprofessional dumbasses.

They are thinking that if they shut down every single private server, that the users will come back. Truth is Nexon, they won’t. They left because you ruined MapleStory Global. When Wizet ran the game they threw better events and a lot more 2x exp, but your company came along, bought the game, and then ruined it for all the users. You throw 2x exp maybe once a year and 2x drop more then anything. Thats never fun, you need to do what nexon did and throw some more 2x exp for extended periods of time. That might actually get users to come back and play your game. Think of the players for once, not your wallet. =/

Posted on April 13th, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Nexon, whats the point in being Jealous?
you blame the privet servers for taking away players.
When it should be Obvious that the only reason why the players left,
was because there was nothing ever done, It got boring. you would spend your time
killing monsters and hope for a level, and have to wait 2 weeks just to gain 1.
There we’re No Gm’s ever on to answer our Questions, No events, the NPC’s Only did
a small amount of problems and you have to pay so much for so little. The players Felt bored. And found a new way to have fun.
Privet servers give you, Items you didn’t have to pay for, Double Exp/Drop Rates.
Fun Gm’s that talk to you, and help you out. They always gave Events. The players we’re occupied. Why would they waste there time, Playing a game that took you over a year to get to level 200, When you can go on a privet server and play 1 day and get 200. you pass the buck, because you’re so blind to realize that if you had something worth on Maple Story Global then none of your players would of left. Change yourself, Or your Problem will never be fixed.

Ok lloyd korn first of all i aint afraid of no FBI cuz i live in da Bahamas! and ill express one of the oldest and noblest of traditions slam the door and haul ass out of their! and although private servers might be illegal technically u created them because u created a bored player who wanted something better than ur sukish game! Look at the splinter in your i before u see the log in some1 elses asstards

Posted on April 15th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

lloyd korn sux he is using the wrong methods to stop private servers! the letter he sent to hitsums to shut-down seemed to me more like a threat than a warning!

Posted on April 16th, 2009 at 8:50 am

If Nexon is so worried about losing money, why are they spending so much money trying to get private servers off the internet? This is a case where the rich keep getting richer, while the poor get poorer. It’s sad to think of all those kids spending hundreds of dollars to put pixelated clothes on little pictures in a game. Then after three months the clothes disappear. Money that could be spent on better things! My little brother sunk a lot of money on Nexon Cash Cards. I think it is a shame that Nexon takes money out of the hands of little kids to make their wallets bigger. Companies like this are the reason our economy is doing so bad. I am not supporting private servers, but I’m also not in support of Nexon, and will never download the game! Games are suppose to be fun, but having to pay to get “extra” benefits in a game takes that fun away. I can understand that it takes money to run a game like Maple Story, but why couldn’t they ask for donations instead? People seem to be donating to private servers, so I’m sure there are people who would donate to Nexon too.

Posted on April 30th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

Ok so the only thing I understand is the threatening situation. If maple story decides to publish something then they should understand that there will be someone to do something wrong. Private servers are just one of the examples of things that will happen always. NOONE on this earth will be able to stop all the private servers. There are millions of people out there who know how to code and millions of people who have the data to make private servers. If nexon wishes to stop private servers they should just stop the game because there will always be someone out there who WILL make a private server. If you do not believe me then look at the private server ranks. There are thousands. YES about an estimated 10 thousand. Let me ask…HOW will nexon be able to sue thousands and how the hell do they know who will make a new one. A new private server is made daily (or more) so the number is increasing. I think the nexon war is like buying fabric. Its nice. You can use it. BUT you can shred it, sew it, dye it. You bought it. Most people who have made private servers have bought NX anyways. Maybe if nexon raised the rates and made NX last forever then maybe more people would play. And to all the Private server hating kids. Guess what? Your probably just a jealous little boy or girl who are either too scared to go on one, dont know how, or your just a little goody too shoes who doesnt know what to think and lets other peoples ideas control you. So now heres the question…Do you think people who are playing private servers will go back to GMS? NO! They will find a new one even if the admin gets banned. So to nexon, let kids be kids and just stop giving us difficulty ’cause every day we get smarter and learn things that you adults have either out grown or havent foreseen. So lets just be realistic and stop the nonsense.

Posted on May 11th, 2009 at 3:57 pm

Well Lloyd Korn mainly sends DMCA letters. Basically Copyright infringement letters concerning private server ad(s) and file(s). ALTHOUGH Hacks have nothing to do with DMCA and frankly, I’m quite tired of Lloyd Korn using DMCA as a hack killer when frankly it isn’t. DMCA just kill’s private servers, BUT only within certain countries that follow US Laws. If you host in Sweden, Nexon can’t touch you and Lloyd Korn, don’t even say you can when you can’t. Your just using Scare Tatics on these people and quite frankly, you Can’t make people pay $1,000.00 for hacking or even playing a private server since that is technically considered a “Punishment” which would not be enforced with your “Liquidation Damage(s)” so back off with that bull crap. The only way you can make us pay is if you have the actual proof of this so called “Damage” and the ‘correct’ amount of damage. Thus, I highly doubt you can “Accurately” gather the correct amount of damage and that means you can’t use it in court for your compensation get-a-way for your liquidation damage Charge in your ToS article 16.
Even having a person “play” a private server and charging them is a punishment. You can’t even say that’s a compensation and don’t cover it up with non-sense.

Good Luck trying to use your Liquidation Damage Get-a-way

Posted on May 14th, 2009 at 6:25 am

Personally, I play a private server simply cause I can enjoy the same satisfaction with less time required.
Think about it,
after someone reaches level 200 or something, the sense of achievement is there, but only for awhile. What happens after that, he’ll be like, “What now?”
the game stops short after that. Even with new content, it isnt that appealing anymore.
And from my own experience, the communities in top private servers are much more mature.
Because we know, that Nexon can’t change anything, simply cause of their selfish monetary needs. It IS a necessity in the business world, but if so many people are dissatisfied with its service, it will definitely lose out in the end.
you sir, keep telling us to post our opinions on the forums etc.
Did you think for one second that we didn’t.
What did Nexon do about it? Zlich.
Nexon simply dosen’t care about what we think cause they think we’re immature, just like
you coporate freaks.
Suing us isn’t going to help, it will only cause more people to leave Maplestory for good.
Good move guys.

Iris Said,
“Is there not FBI, or an equivalent of some sort outside the United States?”

Yeah there is, but there is very little to nothing they can do if the emulated servers are located in places such as the Netherlands.

In my opinion, Lloyd Korn uses a very immature approach towards emulated servers, he obviously calls the users “kids” and “immature kids” yet still wants them to fully take responsibility for their actions, like adults. You can’t call people kids yet treat them adults. This is very hypocritical. He also loves to flaunt his position in nexon. His oppressive approach towards the situation is simply immature.

All this being said, i do not play private servers, nor have i ever done so before. I used to play GMS since its first release, and slowly drifted away as i saw that players who payed for NX Items with NX cash got this huge advantage. At first, Wizet said that ALL players would have an equal opportunity at success regardless of whether they pay or not. Things changed since then. I just think that Lloyd Korn needs a different approach towards the situation.

Posted on June 7th, 2009 at 9:54 am

Savage, I think we all know what happens when you try to reason with Nexon.

They put their hands over their ears and scream the classic “LALALALALALAL-I’M NOT LISTENING!LALALALALALALAL!!!!11″

Plus, why are you saying “you’re generation” and everything? Hello, if you’re not in our “generation” (AKA and adult), why the hell are you writing about Maplestory?

Unless you’re a 60-year old man who stalks little boys. Then it would make sense.

Posted on June 26th, 2009 at 4:01 pm

I, too, agree with the fact that Maplestory private servers should be closed all in all. In fact, at the moment, XtremeTop100 has deleted the links to all Maplestory private servers, making them inaccessible unless you Google them.

But seriously, why take the FBI into this matter? It’s just a game. Threats aren’t even meant to true (at least most of them aren’t).

Posted on July 3rd, 2009 at 5:20 pm

I like how you made a reference to stealing music, but I don’t really see how it is relevant to this issue. A private server uses an emulator, created by people not affiliated with nexon or wizet whoever makes the game, to run a nexon like version of the game. I guess
i’m also a musician never really thought of myself like that, but i don’t think your music has ever been stolen and anyones ever made money off of it. So truly you can’t honestly relate. Also like any lawyer Lloyd’s job is to do the legal work of whoever is paying him.
Sorry if i got anything wrong… i don’t know too much about maplestory emulation.

Posted on July 6th, 2009 at 2:43 am

@Anon: E-mail a Nexon employee (or Lloyd Korn himself) the name of the private server and the link, and he should take care of it.

Posted on July 10th, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Lol, Wow you guys are funny. Note: This is all lies. The FBI isn’t really working with nexon. Who are you guys trying to fool lol. I know private servers are illegal but look at nexon. They have tons of players already and making tons of money.

World Of WarCraft and any of the other games don’t really care about private servers. Also about the threats you think its just kids who are sending threats. Nexon is sending threats to… Just because someone is running a illegal server doesn’t give nexon the right to send them threat emails, Phone calls.

Also nexon is buging peoples computers which is a serious violation. Making a private server is breaking 1 rule. Nexon breaks 100 rules just to stop them.

Thier not gonna get thier players back so its no point. Thier doing this for no reason. I don’t want u noob to reply to this and say ur blah blah blah blah blah that i don’t care about

Note: If your one of those grammer geaks please don’t reply and say “Wow look at ur grammer” idc about grammer…

Posted on July 19th, 2009 at 10:25 pm

Ugh. Some of these comments just make my head hurt. I’ve played Private Servers before, and I ended up going back to gMS. Private servers are illegal in any case. And to all those people who keep saying that it’s all a lie, OdinMS was actually taken to court if my memory serves me correct.

honestly i think global is more fun than private servers. Global is more of a challenge when private servers r just like W00t im lvl 200 in a min. Even servers with 2x exp or 20x exp is still a waste of time i mean theres only about 500 ppl that accually got lvl 200 up 2 this day on global and everyone on those private servers has gotten lvl200 over 500 times.

Sincerly my thoughts, Sefron, from Khania

I believe that what Lloyd is doing is DOING WHAT HE IS PAID TO DO.
He doesn’t do it just to be an asshole or to break children’s dreams.
Lloyd is just a lawyer doing what he is told to do and i respect him.
and i DO like private servers and i have run one (i don’t anymore).
And i’m not mad at Nexon either. Nexon just wants their players.

Lloyd is a normal person. works, gets paid, most likely has a family.
Lloyd does dig deep into his work but, that’s what give’s him a high chance that he will be keeping his job and making more money to support hinself/family.

Private servers are an emulation of the game. These are legal within reason of the law. “And to all those people who keep saying that it’s all a lie, OdinMS was actually taken to court if my memory serves me correct.” Oh please. OdinMS where taken to court due to client modification, they did not have anything against the server.

Posted on November 5th, 2009 at 8:10 pm

MapleStory used to be so fun! Now, all these newcomers are getting advantages. People who have sat in front of a computer screen for more than, probably, 10 hours a day to level, can now level in 1 hour?! I know that’s a bad comparison, but with all these new quests and whatnot, I feel higher levels are getting cheated. Like for instance, the new worlds in MapleStory, 2x exp a week and you can get to level 100+! Plus, the old times in Maplestory were better. Marketing your items in Perion, and everybody looking the same, was the life. Isn’t Maplestory supposed to be a good influence on kids? Kids paying money to make their pixelated characters prettier or whatever.
people choose private servers.. because
1. they want to make their character better
2. level faster
3. rid of the idiotic jerks who think they are “better” because they have NX (this doesn’t apply to all of the nexon cash users, but the majority of the people who do have them.)

anecdote: someone called me an offensive word because I looked normal and had no NX and told me I was ugly and that I couldn’t afford money. MAPLESTORY IS RIDDING CHILDREN OF THEIR LIVES AND CHILDHOOD! STOP THE MADNESSS!!! RANT RANT RANT [ I DELVED OFF TOPIC] KGNDKGNDKN RAAAAAANNNNNNTTTTT
