Notice MapleLegends - Newer Beginnings

NO ACCOUNTS BANNED (FOR REAL WORLD TRADING) WILL BE UNBANNED.

In June 2019, which was MapleLegends'... 4th Anniversary, we made a topic found by clicking here. In here, we described how many people are registered, how many are banned, and generally how the system works and has worked.

We have also described that generally, people who wish to come back with a second chance appeal and get rejected, while people who remain try to hack, bot, Real World Trade, or violate other rules just to bypass it and try again anyway.

But the worst bit is, the more users we ban, the more users get falsely flagged due to limited IP's, and other identifications. When it comes to me, I am rather sensitive to potentially losing a new player because they get stopped at login screen or whatever, and then don't bother appealing/checking Discord because it already gives a very bad impression.

Right now, we have 320,101~ registered members. From this total, 22,771 accounts have been permanently banned. As a tradition, though, most bans for hacking are one or two people trying find ways around it over and over, which increases this number quite a bit.

As described in the old topic...

• False positive problem due to a long record of permanent bans (new players getting falsely rejected from the server)
• Some users genuinely regretted doing what they did
• Actual abusers are bypassing the ban(s) anyway

Therefore, like in 2019, not only are we cleaning up stuff, but we also actively allow people a second chance, unless you were banned for following reasons:

• Users who got banned due to Real World Trading, or were associated with Real World Trades
• Users who had disrespected MapleLegends and/or the staff in the past, or were personally kicked off by staff due to being an overall negative addition to the server
• Users that we, as MapleLegends staff, personally deemed to have abused to an unreasonable degree*

*We reserve the right to disallow any past abusers from playing MapleLegends for any reason at any time, even if they were initially allowed to play in a clean state.

A reminder like in the old topic...

Once again, this does NOT mean they have their account back, but they can create a completely new character from scratch, with a second chance to use our services again.

Furthermore, if someone who decided to come back is immediately negative towards the community or server as a whole, the patience will be much lower, and the chance for an immediate permanent ban is high.

It's been 7 years since the last time we did this; it's not a daily routine. If you wish to come back, we hope you'll be able to make a positive contribution to this wonderful community. Do not waste it!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.

NO ACCOUNTS BANNED (FOR REAL WORLD TRADING) WILL BE UNBANNED.

 

At least one person on Discord thought RWTers were getting unbanned too, which is not true. I re-phrased the section of the post a little to be even more clear.

Again a reminder that NO ACCOUNTS are getting unbanned.

 

Yes that is fine. If you got already banned this week or whatever its not though. Only bans before this announcement.
