The staff here at MapleFriends strive to provide the best and most fun content that we can! We hope to establish a community where people are friendly and helpful. With that being said, we know that there are trolls out there; therefore, we reserve the right to ban anyone who does not meet our criteria as a player. Here are the general rules of our server; however, just because it is not listed here does not mean it's allowed, please use judgement and common sense.
Welcome to MapleFriends! Below are the server's rules. Please read and follow them. --------------------------------------------------
Server abuse includes illegal activities, such as attacking MapleFriends' server, unofficial commerce; including the advertising of other MapleStory private servers.
Blatant illegal activities, or attacks occurring on or towards any server used in connection with MapleFriends' services are prohibited. Illegal activities are felonies and/or misdemeanors and can result in incarceration and/or fines. We consider all of you adults with the capacity to make your own decisions.
Abuse includes the use of third party software for hacking, packet editing, wz editing or botting. As well as internal and external mechanisms such as vote abuse, glitch abuse, duping, account sharing and ban evasion.
Botting refers to the simulation of automated attacks, chats, and/or movements. Usage of third-party hardware and/or physical objects to simulate such act(s) is not allowed. This is inclusive of (but not limited to) holding down skill key(s) whilst facing away from the game window screen, using a heavy object to hold down certain key(s), passive class skills and/or skill summons(including class summons) and Unresponsive to ADMINs talk/pm in game when he or she is Same map as You. Punishments for the usage of third-party SOFTWARE constitutes under Hacking; where punishments listed for Botting will not be applicable for software usage.
All forms of vote abuse are prohibited. This means that you may only vote once every 24 hours regardless of how many accounts you own. While we allow our players to create multiple accounts, you may only vote for one account.
Player abuse includes the harassment of players via verbal threats, kill stealing, or mass defamation, in addition to deceptive techniques such as scamming, false reports, and staff impersonation.
The impersonation of MapleFriends' staff members is prohibited.
Harassment of any sort is a bannable offense. Harassment is defined as verbal abuse, threats, flaming, or anything related to the above. Admins reserve all rights to ban a person from this community and abuse is not limited to the aforementioned.
Scamming players is not tolerated. This includes obtaining an item from a player via a method unintended by the other player. For example, agreeing to trade items for another and then deceiving the player by putting up different items would be deemed scamming. Simply putting up an item in a Hired Merchant will not fall under the jurisdiction of this rule.
The creation of false reports is prohibited. This means that when a player attempts to report another player for abuse in a manner that uses deception to get one banned.
Real-money trading is NOT allowed on this server. If any players are caught doing so, he or she will be banned. Trading through donations IS allowed. Remember to take screenshots of the transactional conversation for protection. With no proof, we are unable to do anything.
We understand mistakes happen, and because this deals with real money and coming from the support of our player's, we wanted to establish a set rule for fairness. The only time we will manually give VIP is if there is a bug on our end (like VIP not being handed out) or if you accidentally MISPELLED the wrong IGN. Emphases on misspelled because if you typed in another IGN, we cannot fix that for you; but if you misspelled an IGN (meaning there's no IGN of that existence) we can safely trust and give it to you with no chances of other intentions by the players.
These rules can change from time to time with or without any announcement from the staff. Please keep in mind that MapleFriends' staff members reserve right to ban you for any reason which they deem is abusive, disruptive, or otherwise has a negative impact on the server. If you believe that you were unfairly banned, please create a ban appeal.
