    All your character names:
    star999, shineestars, starbox (not sure because it is a storage character)

    Last thing you did:
    I was in the process of moving to Victoria Island.

    Why do you think you got banned?:
    I'm not sure. I don’t believe I violated any rules, and I’m unsure why I was banned.

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

    What GM banned you (optional):
    N/A

    I’ve been playing MapleRoyals for less than a month, and I’m still new to the server. I’ve mostly been playing together with my friend Lunarra, and everything seemed fine until I was suddenly disconnected and banned.

    I would appreciate it if you could kindly look into this, as I’m not aware of doing anything against the rules. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi there,

    I have always been actively playing in person at my computer, and have never used any third-party tools or automation.
    While training or gathering resources, I had Netflix or YouTube on the side, but I was always present and in control of my character. My attention may not have been fully focused on the game at every moment, but never to the point where I wouldn’t be able to respond or react when needed.

    I’m still fairly new to the server (less than a month in) and was just starting to really enjoy the game. If there’s been a misunderstanding or if further info is needed, I’d really appreciate the chance to clarify.
    Please let me know if anything I said is unclear or if I misunderstood something.

    Thank you for your time and understanding.

    You know for a fact that you were not at your computer for a long time and freaked out when you got caught.

    Hello,

    I believe there may have been a misunderstanding, and I would appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Could you please explain what is meant by the statement that I “freaked out when I got caught”? I’m not sure when or how that situation supposedly occurred, as I do not recall reacting in such a way.



    As I mentioned earlier, I was mainly watching a Netflix drama while hunting in-game. However, I was always present at my computer and able to glance at the game client at any time. I have never used any third-party tools, macros, or automation of any kind. While my attention was divided between the game and Netflix, I remained in full control of my character and was always capable of responding promptly if needed.

    Since there was no real risk of my character dying in that area, I was playing in a somewhat repetitive manner. Still, I was always present and aware of what was happening on-screen. At one point, I noticed that mobs stopped spawning for a short while but returned to normal soon after, so I assumed it was just a temporary connection issue.



    The game client typically occupies about half of my screen when I’m watching Netflix, so I can monitor both easily. At no point did I ignore anyone intentionally. May I ask if anyone tried to prompt me or get my attention while I played? I am certain that l did not receive any messages or interactions.



    I’m still quite new to the server and truly enjoying my experience here, so I hope we can clear up this misunderstanding properly.

    Thank you for your time and understanding.

    I just had a look as well at the evidence. Your movement was not just "somewhat" repetitive. It was literally the exact same pattern over and over again. You were macrobotting. Regardless of whether you were monitoring it or not, macrobotting is not allowed. You must be in control of your own character at all times.

    Hello,

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and share your perspective.

    I understand that my character’s movement may have appeared highly repetitive, and I can see how that might raise concerns. However, I want to clarify that I did not simply “monitor” my character — I was actively playing and manually controlling it the entire time. I did not use any macros, automation, or third-party tools of any kind.

    Although my attention to the game may have been somewhat low at times because I was watching Netflix on the side, I was still the one playing. Every action my character performed was done manually, by hand, without any form of automation. I remained present at my computer and in control throughout the session.

    I’ve done my best to follow the server’s rules from the beginning and will continue to do so. I truly enjoy playing here and would never knowingly violate any rules or use anything that compromises the integrity of the game.

    I respectfully ask that this situation be reconsidered with the benefit of the doubt, as I was in full control of my character at all times and did not engage in any prohibited behavior.

    Thank you again for your time and understanding.
