    ALL Your Character Names:
    Zonko (I/L Mage at Mushroom Shrine), buukunn (merchant in Free Market), and other characters on this account

    Last thing you did:
    Zonko was hunting foxes at Mushroom Shrine, and buukunn was enjoying setting up a shop and shopping in the Free Market. I was playing normally and enjoying the game.

    Why do you think you got banned?:
    I believe I was banned for Vote Abuse. After reading the ban rules, I realized that what I did may have fallen under that category. I voted both on my PC and also on my mobile phone during work, not knowing that it was against the rules. I did this for a few days, thinking it was fine.

    I now understand this was not allowed. I am very sorry — I truly did not know this was a violation, and I regret it deeply. I was just trying to play the game in a healthy way and enjoy the server, so being banned has made me very sad.

    If what I did was considered a violation, I sincerely apologize. I promise that I will never do multiple votes again. I will strictly follow the rule of one vote per person/IP per day. Please give me another chance and lift the ban.

    Ban message when attempting to log in:
    “This is an ID that has been deleted or blocked from connection.”

    What GM banned you (optional):
    Not sure / Unknown

    Hello GM,

    I would like to add one more clarification to my appeal.
    I am Japanese and my English is not perfect, so I misunderstood some of the rules.
    Also, before I fully understood the rules today, I accidentally voted once more.
    I stopped immediately after realizing it was wrong, and I will never do it again.

    I truly love MapleRoyals and logging in has become a part of my daily life.
    I now understand that what I did was a rule violation, and even though I did not know, it was still my responsibility.
    I deeply regret my actions and sincerely apologize.

    From now on, even if I have multiple accounts, I will strictly vote only once per day on my main account.
    Please, I beg you not to delete my account or permanently block my IP.
    I am asking for just one more chance.
    I am very sorry for everything.

    We have multiple mechanisms and warnings in place to prevent vote abuse.

    The key one being that when you attempt to vote on a second account, the vote button is disabled saying that you have already voted for the day.

    Vote abuse means you knowingly bypassed that mechanic to give yourself an unfair advantage, and major vote abuse means it was severe enough that it has resulted in a permanent ban.

    Dear GM Team,

    This is my final appeal regarding my permanent ban.
    First of all, I want to sincerely apologize once again for my actions. I now fully understand that what I did was a serious violation of the rules. I deeply regret my mistake, and I completely accept the judgment of the MapleRoyals staff. I will never attempt such behavior again, and I fully agree to respect and follow the intentions of the administrators.

    I would also like to clarify my position:
    I accept full responsibility for what I did, and because of that, I will humbly give up playing MapleRoyals myself. I understand this is the consequence of my own wrongdoing.

    However, my older brother, whose character name is **"JemesNagi"**, has always played fairly and followed the rules, voting only once per day. He lives separately from me at our family’s home, with a different IP connection. Yet, he has also been unable to log in.

    It feels very unfair that he has to suffer the consequences of my mistake, even though he did nothing wrong. He has always enjoyed MapleRoyals in a healthy and legitimate way.
    Therefore, I sincerely and respectfully ask you to please reconsider and allow my brother’s account to be restored so that he can continue to play properly.

    Once again, I express my deepest apologies for my own actions, and I kindly request that you review this situation with understanding regarding my brother.

    Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

    Sincerely,
    [Your IGN: buukunn]

    We note the Terms and Conditions in multiple places such as the voting page, in game quests, in game quizzes around voting rules and whitelisting if you have multiple MapleRoyallers within the same household.

    That being said, there are a lot of IGNs involved. Tell me which of the IGNs below belong to you and which ones belong to your brother.

    Hello GM,

    My brother told me that his main character is JemesNagi, and his sub-characters are LadyNagi and JasonNagi.

    He also mentioned that you should be able to confirm from the past voting history and IP connection records that he has always followed the rule of voting only once per day.

    We kindly ask you to review and verify this.

    Thank you very much for your time and understanding.

    Sincerely,
    [Your IGN: buukunn]

    Why do you and your brother share identical account information?

    Hello GM,

    Thank you very much for your reply, and I truly appreciate the time you are taking to review this matter.

    To clarify our situation: I was the one who first discovered this wonderful game, MapleRoyals, and I invited my older brother to start playing with me. At that time, as Japanese players, this was our first experience with an overseas server, and because our English was very limited, we did not fully understand all of the rules when we registered our accounts. Since then, we have both been enjoying the game purely for fun.

    I now understand clearly that I broke the voting rules, even though it was unintentional, and I sincerely accept full responsibility for my own mistake. However, my brother has always respected the one-vote-per-day rule, and he has always played from his own separate IP connection. The confusion may have come from how we originally registered our accounts in a similar way when we first started, but my brother has never abused the system.

    It deeply saddens me to see that my actions have also caused my brother to lose access to his account. He has told me many times that he feels this is unfair, since he has always followed the rules, and he only wishes to return to playing normally. He even said to me: “It’s your mistake, but please resolve this with the administrators quickly so I can enjoy the game again.”

    I want to make it very clear: I will no longer attempt to play MapleRoyals myself, as I accept the consequences of my own wrongdoing. All I am humbly and respectfully asking is that you please allow my brother’s account to be restored, so he does not continue to suffer for something he did not do. If you review the past IP login and vote history, I believe it will show clearly that he has always followed the rules. Currently, he has even stopped voting altogether because of this situation, but he wishes only to play fairly again.

    Once again, I express my deepest apologies for causing this situation. I kindly and respectfully ask for your understanding regarding my brother’s account, as he truly loves this game and has always played it legitimately.

    Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

    Sincerely,
    [Your IGN: buukunn]

    Thank you very much for your consideration, and I sincerely apologize for the trouble I have caused.
    Since my English is poor, I have been using Google Translate to write my messages, and sometimes it mistakenly translated "older brother" as "younger brother." To clarify, it is only me and my older brother who play MapleRoyals, so please do not misunderstand.

    Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

    Hello,

    I would like to confirm something. I plan to start fresh with a new account and follow all the rules, including voting only once per day. However, since I had a previous account that was banned, I want to make sure that playing and voting from my new environment (new account, one vote per day) will not cause any issues.

    Could you please confirm if this is acceptable?

    Thank you for your time and understanding.

    please inform your brother that he has also broken the same rules that got you banned as he voted on his JemesNagi, JasonNagi and LadyNagi accounts on the same days in april.
    He will have to share responsibility with you for breaking the rules.
