Those who are caught in violation of game play rules must be summarily punished to protect the general interests of other players. The following rules will be implemented starting 20th April 2009 (Monday).

Definition:

Botting can be defined broadly as executing a series of actions without human interaction.

Character attacks monsters with a fixed or random pattern without human interaction between the player and the computer (using macro).

To avoid being banned for botting, players are advised to leave their character resting at a safe location when they are away from the computer.

Accounts banned from playing will vary in duration in accordance with the type of offences:

Use of bot = 20/30 days of Ban

Repeat offenders will enjoy exclusive triple penalties.

Third time offenders will face permanent suspension of all MapleStory accounts regardless of any previous account reactivations.

* All GM decisions are final in the game.

If user finds that the penalties are too heavy, then do not bot.
Fair play is important in the gaming community.

Players will not be able to login into their account. No refunds will be made for any A-Cash or items left within.
