So neither the broom nor gride are smiling? Well, the broom is apparently a sunshade-wearing assassin, so...

But seriously, everybody's facial expression is, in ASCII:

No, they've got a bit of the "XD" thing going at times... Somehow, these little fellows don't seem to be particularly emotive, though...

I can't believe that the bride dressed up but the groom is wearing (I think) his regular clothes. Geez, Freen!

[windhound]

take it up with maple's graphics dept.
always thought that was kinda amusing, everyone is by default, you can see a few :*laughs*: in some of the screencaps, but it only lasts 5 seconds or so then again

then again, it would be creepy if all the characters defaulted to all the time, or worse

[Freenhult]

Actually, those are clothes that I bought with my money, and its an Officers Uniform, so I am already in dress. XD

[Devari]

You need to dress up specially for a wedding! Why, even me, the master of avoiding formal dress, would not show up without at least a tastefully formal headband. And, why, just ask Beatles, the lack of a tie is disgraceful!

If we had MapleStory characters and had shown up, we certainly would have worn tasteful clothing, eh Beatles?

If you would, then you can't make fun of me. Ha ha.

I don't know what country's officer's uniform that is, unless perhaps Slobenia. Because frankly, an officer's uniform that's a one-piece brown tracksuit rather than a simple matching suit and trousers, with tie or bowtie (depending on occasion), and medal decorations isn't even worth mentioning. No ceremonial weapons either.

Not to mention that you may wear officer's uniform to a wedding if you are not the groom or best man. Otherwise, you are expected to wear a suit with off-color waistcoat (else it's too much like a business suit) and necktie -- although traditionalists will favor an Ascot -- or bow tie. And of course ceremonial handkerchief.

Oh well.

Oh whatever Beatles. Its red BTW.

Well. Apparently I am a "hacker" now, as I got a 2 week suspension from my account. Lame eh? Not really sure why, as I don't. Hacking referse to editing script so you change monster spawn points, or vac all the monsters to one point, God Mode, ect. Never did that, nor did I collaborate with one. :/

Had /I/ Hacked, I'd have done something sinister, like drastically increased the experience output, or increased clothing drop ratios. If I was really mad, I'd have made all the monsters level 200.

I sent a long arse letter, that windy read. No reply. I figure it just got deleted instead of read. Idiots. Think I should Appeal to someone higher up? Or just take it and be grumpy about it?

[The Beatles]

Come on, man, show some fine American spirit! Sue them.

[windhound]

that was more or less my thought beatles

squeaky wheel gets the grease freen.. complain loud enough and somone will do somthin
honestly, I'd like to send a message asking how to spend money in their store. betcha it would be a near immediate response

and seriously, if nothin' else you need to get an extension or refund for the items that expire in three months (that you spent real cash on). they aint doin' you much good right now

it really is kinda funny though. I wonder what their false positive rate is. I've seen soo many people 'hacking' it aint funny, but it seems rare enough that people are actually caught

[Freenhult]

*Laughs* Alright. I'll send another letter tonight. I'll send one copy to Maple, and one copy to Nexon. I won't be so...Diplomatic this time I think.

Letter:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been playing Maplestory for neary 8 months now. On Thursday morning, I was shocked and appalled to find out as I tried to log in, that my account had been disabled for 2 weeks on the basis that I was "Hacking" or "Using 3rd party programs illegally". I am sending this inquiry as to find out what evidence has been presented to account for such treatment.

I pride myself as being a legit Beran, and hacking is not a viable option, as stated in the games ToS. Yet this very serious charges has been leveled against me. If I had not put 8 months into playing this game correctly, it wouldn't be so infuriating. Yet I have, and it disgusts me deeply. I simply wish to know what instance or instances warranted such a state. If none can be found, I request that my account be reinstated at the earliest possible time. This is not an absurd demand; and if I did somehow in someway breached the rules I'd like to make sure that this is avoided again.

I sympathize with Nexon and Wizet on Maple's Hacking problem, however care should be taken to only ban the hackers, and not legitimate players. Mistakes do happen, and I feel that this is the case.

If I do not receive any feedback from this notice which will be sent on the Maplestory site as well, I will discontinue my purchasing on NX when I resume play.

I am simply asking for a fair and logical review of my case, and that the evidence be presented fairly. I can be contacted at Freenhult@Yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Freen Hult
