All Your Character Names Nawter, Blessify, ClassyLarry, and level 30s I used for Cake muling Last thing you did I was helping a group of people figure out tree PQ Why do you think you got banned? I honestly think it was for some light-hearted trolling I normally do during the server cake events. I never do anything malicious, but I must’ve crossed a line with jokes that got flagged. Ban message when attempting to log in This is an ID that has been deleted or blocked from connection. What GM banned you I'm unsure, and I apologize for any disruption I caused. I love this community and would like to potentially be allowed back onto the server. Thank you for reviewing my appeal.
I apologize, most the names I remember off the top of my head are: Nawter, Blessify, Blessica, ClassyLarry, Vyrix, Zynto, Kayar, and K0rn. I have a few more that unfortunately I do not remember because I strictly use them for cake. Oh and Vusk.
Why did you tell players that Blessica is owned by your wife? Also, your idea of "light-hearted trolling" is rather different to ours. Some of the comments you made on Vyrix were disgusting.
I originally created the “Blessica” character for my wife so she could play MapleRoyals alongside me (before she gave birth). After our baby arrived in mid June, she ended up having no time or energy to play the game due to being a new parent. I had planned to pick her up a laptop from BestBuy following our stay in the hospital with our newborn, with the intentions to learn Old School MapleStory (MapleRoyals), but unexpected financial challenges meant she never had the time to dive in past watching me play. In the end, the account turned to be my own and I really never used it outside of just going into cake runs - and she only had a brief experience learning for about 3-4 days by watching me. As for the disgusting comments, I come from games like CoD and Rust that have wildly different standards for behavior - and people killing Cake seemed to be on that same standard of behavior. I promise to refrain from any behaviors like that in the future.
At this stage, you are permanently banned, but we will discuss as a team whether your case falls under minor or major account sharing. The former is a 30 day ban, and the latter is a permanent ban. We might have more questions for you. (removed)
Hi Heidi, I appreciate the time you’ve already spent on my appeal and I take full responsibility for my mistakes in-game WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I found your comment about my family life really hurtful and ENTIRELY off-topic for a public appeal. I was more than willing to accept any reasonable penalty although there was no account sharing done on my end, and I was apologizing for any behaviors that may have hurt the community’s standards. I have been contacted by players who are following this appeal and they're astonished by your response, i'd like to move forward by reporting this outrageously disrespectful comment. You should not be a GM.
What you have done falls under our definition of account sharing. That is your right. I suggest you DM the admins, Tim and Matt.
Yes, I now understand that my actions may have fallen under the umbrella of account sharing, and, dependent upon how strictly you apply that rule to an honest mistake made during my first week player your server, I am completely ok to accept the consequences. I appreciate you referring me to Tim and Matt. I realize that reporting you may result in a bias during the team's discussion at to whether or not I will get unbanned or not - but the fact that you see no issue with your own response and deliberately chose not to retract or revise it is outrageous. If there's one thing you owe the players, it's professionalism.
This is incorrect. You have a right to report me to the admins, and this will in no way affect the outcome of your ban appeal. We keep these matters separate.
We have discussed your case. We have decided that it falls under minor account sharing, because you made a believable claim of account sharing. This is not a permanent ban, because we believe that your wife did not end up playing on that account. However, the account with Blessica belong to you, because you created it. If your wife wishes to play in future then she will need to create her own account, that only she plays. You are not allowed to create an account for her. You will be banned for a total of 47 days. - 30 days for a believable claim of account sharing. - 14 days for minor vote abuse. - 3 days for objectionable behaviour. Please take some time over the next 47 days to re-familiarize yourself with our ToS, including the Appendix section at the end. Be aware that additional account sharing or vote abuse offences will automatically be a permanent ban for a second offence, regardless of severity. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/mapleroyals-game-terms-conditions.86769/
Thank you again for reviewing my case and for giving me a detailed sheet of the reasons for the ban. I do genuinely fully accept responsibility for my actions on the server. I do want to respectfully ask if there's a potential for submitting evidence for a shorter ban period based on a few points I wanted to bring up: • My wife only ever observed me play for a handful of sessions and never logged in herself - I understand now she cannot use my account and will create her own - so out of all 3 offenses, the account sharing was the least legitimate, the most I'd demonstrated to her was how to use magic claw and general movement on the server. She really did not spend any time playing on the server. • The NX balance on “Blessica” was never spent - at the point where we discovered this goes against the rules, nothing was redeemed, but we were not aware of the right route to escalate this to a GM for forgiveness - I was generally recommended to avoid bringing it up and just not use it by players- despite this I made an honest effort to create a thread about how i'm worried about applying for a whitelist as I have been swatted before due to doxing and being high status online persona a decade ago (can back this up with evidence too) • No in-game advantage was ever gained through that account, and it was not used by anyone other than myself. WHEN IT COMES TO THE BEHAVIOR, absolutely, I feel as though I earned every bit of the ban, and I will make an active effort to correct this behavior when I return. Given that again, there was genuinely no benefit that was gained from the "shared" account (i'm being punished for my wife watching me play a game), would it be possible to potentially reduce the total ban length? I do stand by the point that everything was a genuine mistake - I did my best to correct the issue immediately by not redeeming the NX. To add onto that point, even the NX redeemed from cake/bosses which amounted for over 10k to the best of my recollection (on Blessica), I just left alone on the account out of respecting the rules and wanting to stay in the clear. I do not believe players have a way to retroactively correct any mistakes they made, IE: accidental vote abuse. Thank you for your consideration
The decision is final. All of this could have been avoided had you actually followed the ToS that had you agreed to each time you logged into your accounts for the first time, and which you confirmed you'd read when each of your characters graduated from maple island. In particular, please note this clause in our ToS. You made a believable claim that you were on your wife's account. If you actually had been on her account (which you were not, as we've decided it's your account), then this would have been either a 30 day or a permanent ban, depending on what you had been doing on the account. We decided on 30 days.
