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

Multi-World Omok Tournament
First off, I’d like to introduce myself by saying that my name is Dill and this is my first post as a blogger here at Maple-News!
If you have been on recently, you will have noticed a very popular thread which explains how to apply for a Multi-World Omok Tournament!
Read this directly from their thread:
In this tournament, you’ll be facing your fellow maplers in the mini-game of Omok. We do plan to all of the worlds. However, only three from each world will come out for our multi-world tournament in just months!
Those three champions will then be carried ahead to a multi-world bracket, where they will play each other. In order to do this, however, new characters will have to be made.
With over thirty followers on Twitter and growing, it is expected to be a huge success — even getting a follow and two retweets from the official MapleStory Twitter account days ago!
I found it quite interesting to see all the positive feedback (minus a few trollers) for something as simple as this! I should probably add that as the organizer of this, I surely weren’t expecting the feedback that we received!
I shall keep you updated on the status of this project, you can find information about how to register here but don’t forget that registration closes on Friday, April 27th, 2012 which gives you just three days!

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
