The reality is that no matter what you say or do, Private Servers are illegal. There are many viewpoints on both sides regarding the morality of things and I really get that everyone is upset with how the official versions are turning out. Ultimatley, NEXON develops the game and updates it. Without them, there wouldn’t be a MapleStory to play. You wouldn’t have Private Servers. Private Servers are like programs and websites that steal music from musicians. Being a musician myself, I can relate to NEXON’s point of view of wanting to have their work respected and guarded. I can also relate to the Private Servers point of view, but in the end it’s illegal to run a Private Server because you are stealing their intellectual property, like stealing an idea from someone and using it as your own. Looking at things from a completely unbiased and logical point of view, you’re risking your parent’s financial safety (if you are sued, your parents will have to pay for any fines) and your future. It’s a game, let’s keep it that way.

All this insanity over the past few months: the threats, the insults, the blatant disregard for human emotions, safety, and respect needs to stop. This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s shocking to myself and others that people will easy go as far as threatening the lives of people over a computer game. It’s disgraceful and reflects badly on yourselves and our generation as a whole. If you want the game to change, email NEXON, post on the forums, do what you can to change it if you want it that badly. Threats don’t work, if anything it makes people even more unwilling to please you and is probably why many of the things you want, haven’t happened. Use your heads guys and act maturely for once.
