Someone at Nexon’s MapleStory 2 team has been up to no good, according to a recent producer blog. Following the game’s head start, “the MapleStory 2 and Nexon America team set up a monitoring process to ensure none of our systems, including GM/admin power, get abused on the live server.” Over the course of said monitoring process, the team “identified abnormal activities on some of the accounts and found that an internal staff member had been using live test accounts with GM power to benefit their personal account.” Tsk tsk.
[AL:MS2]Some of the actions that the team identified included the staff member in question “resetting the dungeon count for theie personal account to progress faster,” “creating and dropping certain items to increase gear score faster,” and even giving other players an unethical leg up by “clearing dungeons for others within a few seconds.”
In response, the team has “taken the strongest possible measures toward the identified staff” by blocking their personal accounts as well as “a small number of other accounts with abnormal dungeon runs.” The post assures players that the team “did not find any signs of these accounts impacting the in-game economy” and promises that Nexon will continue to be transparent with any other incidents going forward.
