Addressing the Recent Bans



Hi Maplers,

We recently updated our anti-cheat system to better detect macro users. However, we've received reports that some players were falsely banned and we want to assure you that we are fully aware of these concerns. Our team is actively investigating the situation and working to make sure this gets resolved as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, all suspensions related to bans after 11:30 PM PST last night have been lifted.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to address this issue and will keep you keep you updated if we have further information.
