Sparks Talks About KryptoDEV Lawsuit
Aleks Manov, more commonly known by his alias Sparks, recently made several posts on the popular MMORPG server development forum, RaGEZONE, discussing his current lawsuit against Nexon America. Sparks is infamous in the MapleStory community for running and creating the MapleStory private server development forum, KryptoDEV, which was first sued by Nexon over two years ago on February 2010.
Sparks’ original post:
Hey there everyone,
I’ve got a few PM’s asking how my court went. Well, I hope this can be considered more of a discussion rather then spam but with that said, let me say this.
I was mistaken and the court date was actually April 18th (not the 1st as I think I mentioned in 1 thread on here). Which yes, hasn’t arrived yet. April 18th is a Wednesday for me and I’m flying out this Tuesday April 17th at 7:35 EST my flight leaves from Toronto, ON to Vancouver, BC (5 hour flight … Boring) for the Trial Hearing. I will be leaving BC on April 20th at 11:35PM (PST) and arriving on Saturday at 7AM EST
I do not know if everything will be settled on Wednesday as far as the case goes, there may be following hearings but Read the rest of this entry
Nexon Awarded $3.6 Million in Private Server Lawsuit
Nexon America was recently awarded $3.6 million in damages from the creators of UMaple, a MapleStory private server. The judgment was issued in the U.S. District Court of California on the 3rd of April 2012. UMaple, a private server with an alleged 17,938 users, and its creator Gurvinder Kumar were fined $200 per act of circumvention (the statutory damages minimum) set out by the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) 17 USC 1203.
Kumar did not appear in court to defend himself leading to a default decision by the court. However, the judge seemed extremely skeptical that UMaple significantly affected Nexon’s business through the operation Read the rest of this entry

Exclusive Class in twMS as well?!
So we know that gMS confirmed that they are releasing an exclusive class along with the Phantom thief hero, but strangely enough was the same for the Taiwan MS version.

今天去了座談會…由於場地禁止拍照錄音錄影，所以就沒圖囉…
到場的只有39位，意外的少先討論正題，輕鬆地放後面囉~
今天討論的議題是「外掛」跟「活動」和「遊戲品質」
所以像是BUG的問題他們說下次會再開座談會討論首先是遊戲品質： Read the rest of this entry

Mapler Appreciation Events
As a continuation of the 2x and 3x EXP events last week as a “thank you” to the MapleGlobal community for sticking with Nexon throughout the turbulence of the last few months, Nexon has rolled out another week of EXP events, giveaways, and Cash Shop sales. Needless to say, we’re impressed that Nexon is following through on their promises and legitimately trying to engage the community with some pretty cool (and useful) events. Let’s hope Nexon will continue these weekly events in good times and bad, because it’s brought a Mapler like myself (who has been playing since MapleGlobal beta was released in 2004) back to the game and friends from long ago are starting to take notice through the MapleStory Facebook and Twitter pages. Finally using Social Media the right way. We approve.
Check out some of the events you can look forward to until April 11 below.
Dear Maplers,
April is here, and so are eight days of 2x EXP and DROP events that will help you level up those characters! Couple that with the Mapler Appreciation EXP Booster Event and thefree 2x EXP Cards, and your head will be spinning from the sweet EXP Read the rest of this entry
"MapleStory 2" a reality?
Will this reality be coming true? The screenshot you see above was taken from the PDF supplied by Nexon (and http://orangemushroom.wordpress.com; Thanks!) It looks like it; hinted from 2008 that a “MapleStory 2″ would be in production but haven’t heard since. Now this screenshot brings up some truth as to Nexon’s future releases.
However, will this attract players to play it? Just wait and see.
