![]() Some are fine with how I am, some are not. Over the past couple of years, the way I run MapleLegends has always been questioned. ~ Professionalism and the way I run MapleLegends ~ We may not have the perfect economy, but at least we don't have an economy run by hackers. It's also thanks to them we've been managing another hacker free year at MapleLegends, and not full of vacced mobs everywhere you go. We also have dedicated moderation by our staff, and I can't thank them enough for moderating the server, such as for botters or malicious activity. That's a flawed approach, and all the hacker has to do is find a bypass and hack at their will. Of course, we do not only rely on automated systems to catch cheaters. Usually, anti-cheat modifications are changes we do not announce in public, but even for false bans we've been making a lot of changes, and still are as time goes on. When we check our logs we see the memory has been modified, and the server correctly banned the person early on and was likely testing the absolute "minimal" to damage hack. Sometimes you see a level 6 person or something getting banned for doing 14 damage or something when the actual damage is 6, which may seem false, but no, it's not. An example that happened was that someone regenerated HP and left a map where you no longer gain HP regen bonus (ex: the SPA) on the very same frame as the person would auto-regen, which caused the server to false flag that person as HP regen hacking. It has decreased from once a week to once every 1 month+ (not counting islanders). Fortunately, we've made massive improvements on that this year, and you may have noticed that false bans are rarely occurring anymore. Something our anti-cheat system has been made fun of by our lovely competitors at the top in past is that it "False bans" people a lot. The same goes when a person finds a map crash of some sort. We had a few difficulties, but after knowing their ways and methods it's a matter of inspecting what they do and patching it. However, what our anti-cheat does is plenty enough, and this year also did its job at stopping hackers almost right away. Personally, our anti-cheat system is not even that great. The anti-cheat system we have in place is not something we talk about often besides our GTOP server title. It's not required to read it all in one go, so do take breaks if needed. If you've got any questions or feedback after reading it do let me know. I started writing this in October of 2021 and slowly wrote what's on my mind all way until now. I've also had a section here initially about C-19, but I think we are all tired of it, so I got rid of it. This will be a long one, mostly focused on specific topics, myself, as well as the state of the server.
