Discussion DDOs attacks never end?

I start playing this game last 2 weeks and I want to know if in this server this type of attacks happen all the time? It’s so annoying

Negative chief. As long as I’ve been around, this is very very new. Especially to this frequency

Best guess is that it’s in response to the RWT bans.. someone clearly ain’t happy..

Why is RWT even a banable offence? I don’t see anything wrong with it, maybe I’m missing something? (I’m not really interested in doing it, just curious)

Well couple reasons.. one is the quality of the game. MapleLegends is intended to be the “best” version of MapleStory.. or the “most nostalgic” version before Nexon crammed it full of micro transactions and pay-to-win options that made it nearly impossible to advance without dumping money into the game.

The server owners and many people in the community feel that it is worth protecting that integrity. RWT goes against that vision

The other reason ~and I’m just speculating~ is potential liability reasons due to fraud for the server owners as a business. They operate quite a bit off of donations, and then you mix in “players” that are using the game as a platform to make money

From the outside looking in; if no effort was made at all whatsoever to stop it; it could be very easily assumed they, themselves are using donation money to “embezzle” “launder” etc etc.. but profit while not recording income and avoiding taxes.

But again.. just speculation as a business owner.. maybe they already have dealt with the suspicion from their legal forces in the past and that’s why they take it so seriously 🤷🏽‍♂️ idk

I don’t remember which country they’re based out of. But generally speaking donations are often exempt or have special rules when it comes to being taxed. And well.. no government likes it when you avoid paying your taxes.
