How 'MapleStory N' Is Fighting Back Against Thousands of Hackers
Summary
MapleStory N, a blockchain MMORPG launched in May, faces significant issues with bots and hackers, leading to thousands of account bans daily to protect legitimate players. Players report bot-filled lobbies and game-breaking exploits, with hackers able to earn real cryptocurrency and own in-game items. Nexpace's strategy includes a 30-hour delay for cashing out assets to deter abuse and improved security measures. The game isolates damage from bad actors to its dedicated Avalanche network, Henesys, preventing full cash-out for banned users. Nexpace has a clawback function to reclaim assets from banned accounts but currently sees low value in doing so. Overall, hackers' earnings are reportedly less than their spending in the game.
