    You have been permanently banned for soliciting RWT.

    Punishment: Permanent ban.

    Real World Trading
    - The act of exploiting the software or the game for any sort of commercial purpose, including buying or selling items, Mesos, or services for real-world currency or barter. Additionally, any and all solicitation, advertisement, or other promotion of the aforementioned, irrespective of the location of the act. Real World Trading involves the transaction of out-of-game services, items, or currency for in-game benefits. We understand that some players are interested in other activities, such as arts, crafts, or Twitch Streaming, and may wish to compensate those who assist them from either side with in-game benefits. However, this does place a player in a situation where they may be considered to have participated in real-world trading, at the discretion of Staff. We advise against any and all of these sorts of Meso-for-art trades. Furthermore, the act of soliciting real-world trading does qualify as an infraction of this rule, both in-game and out of the game, and therefore requesting any in-game item for real-world currencies or vice versa may result in consequences as per this rule at the discretion of Staff. For live streaming or similar content, the content creator should ensure they do not offer in-game items or services in exchange for followers, subscribers, donations, or anything else that may constitute real-world benefits. If a content creator wishes to give away items or Mesos, this must be done fairly to all viewers and not specifically for followers, subscribers, or donators. Additionally, content creators must not incentivize following, subscribing, or donating by rewarding such acts with in-game benefits.

    Thank you Dasha answers my request, I played Royal for more than 3 years, I know the rules and their consequences. But with all due respect, I consider it inaccurate to say that I am requesting RWT. I have been inactive for the last few months for work but I have never had the need to request or even talk about RWT, I have improved my gear little by little, spending hours selling leech, Farming, sometimes apqing, saving NX for gacha, cwkpq, runs like HT, Neo, etc, and I always stayed under the rules of the game.
    I would like my case to be thoroughly reviewed, since I speak very little in the game and less outside of it, and as I already mentioned, I have never requested, with anyone, neither inside nor outside the royals.
    Thank you very much

    You attempted to sell your NL gear a few months ago for real-life currency. The evidence we have against you is indisputable.

    I understand that you have evidence of the supposed act committed, but I would like to know what they are, since I only communicate with people from the royals via discord and they are strictly game topics, to make runs. And obviously at stake and maybe only game issues, I consider that I have a good level at stake and managed to get my mesos and gear legally.
    I know it's not in the interest of the game but I don't have any kind of financial need in my real life to try to sell my gears. I have always considered the maple story as one of the best games that is why I have always been on different servers and keeping my accounts for when I have free time to play and remember good times.
    You are the people in charge of enforcing the rules, I fully understand that you are doing your job, but I think that on this occasion an injustice is being committed, and evidence that I am not aware of and that has surely been unfounded against me is being believed.

    The staff doesn't reveal the evidence that resulted in a player's ban. Such information will be used by those who seek to break the rules avoid detection and compromise the anonymity of the reporter.

    I understand, but as the staff knows, if the information provided is strictly truthful and it is not evidence manipulated to affect a player, the staff should also seek to protect the players since thanks to them and their donations the server is kept open, I ask that my words not be misunderstood and I say everything with great respect because you are the authority in this case.
    I have not requested that the identity of the informant be revealed, but I am asking that the right to defend my position be respected and to know if the evidence is really an act carried out by me.
    I know it's a game but if we were in a legal process the "evidence" would not be enough if the person does not have the right to have its veracity verified.
    Thank you again for your answer, I appreciate it

    The information reported to us was verified and found factual. Your permanent ban will remain.

    How unfortunate this situation is, information verified by you only because I have not had access to it. This is clearly an act of injustice and an unjustified sanction, which is carried out under strict confidentiality by the staff only letting one side of the story go.
    I express my total disagreement with the decision made by the staff, my right was not respected and because information that must be manipulated to harm the player is said to be verified, and we know that it is not the first case since I have seen appeals for reasons similar and remain inconclusive because the informant's word is more relevant than the player's.
    If this case can be taken to other instances, I would like to go. Thanks

    I have played honestly, always respecting the rules of the game. Tell me how someone who tries to benefit from the game ends up not doing it? It sounds illogical, I have never tried to communicate or try to communicate in any way to sell my gear, they are clearly false accusations. And this is not a good example for that Royals community that spends hours a day doing their mesos legally and that the day they manage to have their main character in a decent way they become the target of false accusations out of envy or for whatever reason.

    The information wasn't verified by me alone. It was reviewed by several staff members who found the evidence satisfactory enough to issue a ban for RWT solicitation. I would advise you against spreading misinformation such as the notion that the staff is manipulating evidence against you or any other player, this claim is not only false but baseless as well. The server success is heavily dependent on the number of active players and it's within the staff's best interest to retain as many users as they can, as long as they follow the game terms of service, something you have failed to do once you decided to post a selling thread on another platform attempting to sell your NL gear for real-life currency.

    This is where my disagreement lies that I have not published any thread putting my gears up for sale, it is totally false.
    I apologize if my words were not appropriate, but the injustice is so great that I feel helpless because I feel that the staff is not taking my version into account, they are not protected by playing affected.
    We know very well that identity theft is a crime known to all and they will say it is a game, but due to the evidence they say they have against me, I consider that it is not real and much less that it was done by me.
    It is sad and unfortunate to have spent years playing here legally, promoting good practices. I was expelled in such illogical circumstances and with assumptions because as long as I cannot see the evidence, they are only assumptions. Something else and if possible I want to know what platform I "use" to request to sell my gears, I don't know of the existence of any and as I have mentioned I only use Discord for issues related to the Royals.
    Thank you once again for your responses.

    Let's put this scenario: we are in a court where you are the plaintiff and you have your evidence.
    The defendant in this case I must have access to the evidence to defend myself against the accusations made against me and be able to prove that they are false. This would be justice in real life and in the game as well.
    Are you talking about advertising on a platform? What method did the staff use to authenticate the evidence? Because we cannot think that someone maliciously made said publication in order to benefit from other people, call themselves scammers. And where I have been collateral damage, the staff is not taking this into consideration.
    Before a judge, the evidence must be concrete, for example calls, voice or video recordings, all evidence in the form of reading can be manipulated by someone.
    Dear GM you will say that I am taking this to another level but I hope you understand my frustration and reconsider your decision.

    other than the rwt attempt we caught outside of the game that exclusively points towards you, you have also been vote abusing the whole year from 2019 to 2020 resulting in another permanent ban

    First I was blocked for "trying" to sell my gear, now I was found to be a "vote abuser", after two years the staff thanks to an unfounded accusation against me. Definitely, when the staff decides something, they will look for every last reason so as not to have to retract.
    First one cause and then another should agree before. Lol and I have never been a vote abuser.
    Thank you for your answers.

    Hinting that the staff is conspiring against you or any other player is disrespectful to the time we volunteer to ensure the fairness of the game.

    Your ban appeal has been reviewed by an admin just as you requested. Best of luck in your future endeavors! :)
