    When I was in kerning, a player who noticed me and realized that we were from the same country region (due to my very ethnic IGN), started to mate with me a bit and chat about my relationship with the server. Later on this player decided to make a trade with me and he gave me a rainbow something staff and a maple shield with some int that matches my level, I told him in the trading chat- "but I don't have anything to give you in return", but he said that it was alright and I shouldn't worry.
    On the next day (or two) after that, I was doing the Construction Site B3 Parkour when all of a sudden that player spawned out of nowhere in the patkour platform (he used a TP rock? idk how did he find me), I told him that it wasn't the right time because I had messed up the parkour, so he told me that he had to go but he had something form me, so he dropped some earrings on me and discconected.

    Useful side notes:
    -No, I do not know who is this player in real life
    -No, we didn't do RWT (I even heard about this concept for the first time yesterday, from reading other people's appeals)
    -No, I do not recall the other player's IGN (maybe some letters but not the accurate name).
    - So why I have agreed to recive these items? I don't have a clear reason honestly, all I do is quests from NPCS and sometimes they ask for really challenging requests like dealing with higher level monsters, so a maple shield will logically be more helpful than a pan lid.

    Do you remember the stats on the items? i.e., how much int and magic attack they had on them?

    Stats:
    Maple shield- if I'm not mistaken, not something more than 2 int points.
    Rainbow staff- not sure it even had int, but maybe HP & MP points.
    Earrings- not more than 2 as well (I'm not even sure it had int).

    Usage:
    Maple shield- used right away because I had a pan lid.
    Rainbow staff- I can't even use it until I reach the required level so it just lays in my invetory.
    Earrings- used right away because I had golden earring with 6 magic def ( I think).

    Hey there,
    I don't want to cause any trouble and I don't mean to rush you or anything, but is there anything *I* can do to help reach a final decision about my status?
    I have been playing the game with my boyfriend since day 1 (his first time ever playing MapleStory), but obviously, since I'm suspended, he isn't playing either. He is on his holiday right now, and it's just pretty sad that we won't be able to play together during this time.
    I can provide any information needed if I'm suspected of RWT, I have nothing to hide. Moreover, you can just take those items from me if that's the reason I'm suspended.
    With all due respect, it's not that I'm desperate to play, but I didn't put in all these hours to reach level 42 (only from killing monsters and talking to NPCs) just to get banned without even fully understanding the reason why, just a bit frustrated...

    Thank you for your time!

    Hello again,

    Since I've been banned for a couple of days now, I've taken the time to think deeply about why my case hasn't been resolved yet. I remembered something that happened about a week before I crossed paths with the player who gave me the staff, shield, and earrings:

    There is a guy I have known online for years (we have never met in person, but we have each other on Instagram and Discord). On May 12th (about a week before the ban and my interaction with the other player, Mr. Staff & Shield), this guy (whom I will call Mr. Z for the sake of the appeal) texted me on IG that he was proud of me for playing on this server (he probably saw my activity on Discord).

    Since Mr. Z and I live in the same country, I told him, "You won't even believe my IGN," and I sent him a picture of my character mid-game. He replied that I was crazy, that he uses ethnic names as well, and that he wanted to log into the server to show me his IGN. BUT, I was in the middle of killing bats in the Kerning City Subway, so I didn't see his message in time. I just kept playing until someone sent me a friend request out of nowhere and came all the way to me (I won't lie, I'm probably a bad friend since it took me a while to realize it was Mr. Z).

    Once I saw his IGN, I stood still and started to chat in-game with him. At some point, he dropped a Japanese paper hand fan for me and some items called "AP scrolls"? (I didn't really know what they were, but they looked like rock cubes with a UNO reverse sign on them). When he gave me these "scrolls," I told him, "I don't know what to do with them, I'm not a saleswoman." He replied, "Go to the FM and write s>ap scroll xxM" (I have a screenshot of this conversation, which is how I have discovered the name of these "UNO rocks").

    Eventually, he logged off and so did I. Later on, I texted him on IG, "Thank you so much," and that was it.

    Side notes 2.0:
    -I have never met Mr.z irl
    -No, I didn't pay him for it, not Mr.z and not Mr.Staff & shield (hope I do not hurt anybody, but I think it's really sad to pay real money on these things)
    -Why did I pick these items?- because why not? who doesn't like to receive gifts?
    -I still don't even know why I'm banned, am I suspected of RWT? If so, just take ALL these items- A player who paid real money wouldn't say that, right? It will be sad because these are gifts but they don't have any monetary value to me

    About the paper fan:
    -I can't use it until I reach the required level so it just lays in my invetory.
    -I completly do not know what stats it has, but I'm more than certain that it has nothing that is life changing

    About the UNO rocks:
    To be fully honest? I didn't plan to do a thing with them, I'm too shy and I'm so not into the marketing business that as I have already told you- all I do is quests from NPCS

    Beyond what I have written here, I am more than happy and ready to cooperate with any GM and answer any questions, as I know you have the tools to verify my story anyway.
    once again, thank you for the reading.
