Important Secure Your Account

Hello Maplers,

There have been rumors going around that a past MapleStory Private Server stored account information in plain text, which caused a member who played on said server to get compromised on some of his other accounts from different places after the server did shut down.

With that being said, we want to remind you that you should always try to use an unique username and password in private servers (including MapleLegends) and avoid including your personal information for your own privacy and security. MapleLegends will never use your registration information in any way, shape, or form, but we still highly recommend that you do not use the same information here that you use elsewhere.

If you currently use the same password here as you do in other places (in particular other private servers), we highly recommend changing your password, which you can do by going here: http://maplelegends.com/my/account .

Thanks!

One more thing I should note is that your in-game password and forum password should differ too, as it increases the security by a lot. If one of them happen to get hacked, the other one is safe.

You can change your forum password by clicking here

 

Bumping this.

I highly recommend people NOT to use same passwords everywhere to prevent being compromised due to a hacker from a different server, and if you get hacked, the damage is very minimal.

 

I remember more than 8 passwords.

 

Bumping this up once again.

Do note that sharing your account is not only against our Terms of Service, but if you share your account, all damage that happens towards the account (stolen equips, stolen characters, deleted characters) is all your responsibility. We are not going to fix your account up nor refund anything, even if the sharing is admitted.

If you share someone's account with knowledge and you got caught, all the responsible people will be punished.

 

Bump.

Monthly-ish reminder to never use same account info in other Private Servers, or anywhere. I recommend having unique information everywhere, if you can. If its hard to remember, at least the password. We didn't really had any account hacking cases because we also have PIN, but I want remind everyone anyway. Once again, this also applies for sharing. If you get hacked because you've shared your account we will most likely not help with the situation, since its your own fault.

 

1 year later, still didn't got a case yet where someone got hacked! Not sure if due to PIN we have or nobody want hack a Legends account :l

However, still want bump as a reminder to never use the same password in other servers or services, including MapleLegends. An other server could easily close down and its unknown how they would store your info. Please make your Legends password separate from everything else to prevent being compromised.
