MapleStory August Updates

I had a meeting in AsiaSoft’s office this afternoon and tele-conference with the Admin and some other moderators. These are some of the things discuss and finalise:

Change of Security Code:
Currently, there is no valid method to change or reset AsiaSoft Passport Security Pin unless there is an offline event (like the GM event preview) where the Admin can assist you on the spot. The CSO plans to start a mobile customer service centre (a small booth) somewhere in Singapore where it will be convenient for users to visit. Users will be able to reset their PIN once the centre is setup.

Hacking issues:
Password theft is on the rise . They are mainly keylogger cases or compromise of security by revealing password in non-official website or sharing with friends or stranger. If users suspect their password had been compromise, please proceed to change the password in a clean computer and start cleaning or formatting the current PC. If the security pin is lost, fax a copy of the National Identification Card to AsiaSoft office and request the Admin to suspend your account temporary. The Admin will help to verify your status before re-activating your account in order to prevent hackers from changing your details or steal your items.

Bootes:
The Admin reveal that Bootes had minimum increment while Aquila is still growing strongly. Since Aquila had reached its maximum capacity, it is critical to migrate users from Aquila to Bootes. The team then brainstormed with the moderators. After the discussion, all agreed to the following:

1. Early September, 4 full days of continuous GM Event hosted in Bootes!
(It will be spread out from work day to weekend)
2. No promise but the Admin is trying to allow preview of a secret map.
(Map will not be available in Aquila. After the preview, the map will be close.)
3. More channels will be open.
(Proposed Channel 13 - 16)
4. Bootes will always have the first right if whenever there is a special event.

On a personal note, everyone have the same rights and chance to play in Bootes. So it’s pretty fair. In any other MMORPG, players usually have at least one character in every single world. So, spread the words to your friend now!
