Dear Player,

Please be informed that your Asiasoft Passport was suspended due to suspected to use fake registration details, therefore we require you to scan your National ID and email back to us for identity verification. If the details registered do not belong to you and is incorrect, please follow the below instructions to request for an update to these information,

For Singapore Base player
Please visit our Customer Service Centre with your National Identity / Student Pass (with photo) / NRIC. Do note that an administrative fee of SGD$5.00 will be liable for the updates.

So basically I have to BUY back my account for 5 dollars disguised cleverly as an "administrative fee". I do wonder if thats how non-paying players are treated? Rolling Eyes

do mmake sure to ask them for privacy policies and what will your id/information be used for, how and who will get hold of them.

actually if i tiok i will jsut quit maple le. i don't believe in giving untrustable game companies personal details that they may sell or use in other ways. + i don't believe they need the information

StarPuppy SG

hisoka SG

no what i adding to your point thats why quite your msg

shinta SG

but 1 thing.. did u use ur own ic or what?

ctstalin SG

Laughing make a new one and hack yr lvl away Twisted Evil

DriftingGuy SG

I used my own IC. The biggest irony is that since my IC cannot be used for asiasoft games anymore, this might prompt me to beg/borrow/steal another person's IC if I wish to continue supporting their ploy.

Although it is more likely I might quit Rolling Eyes

DriftingGuy SG

I can't. My IC is now guest (restricted) Rolling Eyes

Y_Shun SG

I have no idea why the company requires us to put our original IC to register an account just to play. =.=

And not to forget the "resetting" of their PIN number also requires a S$5, it is like a rip.

shinta SG

u send an email to them... and ask them why are u the one payin for their mistake?

den just dun play lor

if u wan i can lend u 1 of my chars to play with...

gLc SG

aiya so simple.

not happy dun play lor, they are not taking a gun, pointing to ure head and forcing you to play it also what...

mochou SG

I am not maplestory player, but after reading, there something i have to point out.

Anyone notice the the word "suspected"???
It's not that they "confirmed"/ "proven"/ "found guilty of" you are using fake details.
It's "suspect" only.
They can suspect anyone.
and a suspect case require you to pay to getting out of being "suspected".

shinta SG

but why would they suspect?

unless someone complained to asiasoft that somebody is using their ic details to get a passport.

DriftingGuy SG

I am not happy with the way they force non-paying players to pay for a free-to-play game or face account suspension.

Imagine those who have invested time and effort into playing the game or who made friends or what-not only to have it all taken away just because they were "suspected" of faking an IC? Its actually all fine to suspect but making the innocent party PAY for the "suspicion"?

Its like giving someone 10 years in jail just because he was "suspected" of robbery but later PROVEN innocent. To offset this, he had to pay S$50,000 for "administrative charges"? Like that I can run a business as the police detaining anyone and anybody without trial and then ask them to pay $$$ for "administrative charges" or go to jail.

You may argue and say that its only $5 for the time and effort but the whole point is its meant to be FREE and we are not suppose to PAY for something we DIDNT COMMIT. Rolling Eyes

DriftingGuy SG

I don't mind being suspected or anything. I just find it amusing that I have to still PAY to get my account back even when PROVEN INNOCENT Laughing

shinta SG

and go down somemore..
