Another Private Server closed down at the hands of NEXON last week. This time it was MapleGeek, a popular and very professional looking MapleStory Private Server hit over 6,000 registrations in it’s first month alone. The MapleGeek staff didn’t provide an exact reason other than “We’re shutting our doors” to the public. But, it can be guessed that they shut down because of threats or fear of being sued by NEXON.
Many have been arguing that NEXON will never shut down Private Servers, but it doesn’t stop them from going after ones that have had huge success. Since the announcement of the OdinMS lawsuit, numerous well known Private Servers have shut down like LocalMS and CakeStory. Private Server owners are trying a number of different attempts to keep NEXON away. Terms of Service have been created that would enable NEXON to agree to something by moving onto their website…and others have just tried hiding their site. It seems futile and just an attempt to prolong the inevitable. Many maplers agree that only the outcome of the OdinMS lawsuit will determine the future of the thousands of other Private Servers out there.
