Players will no longer be able to do certain things.
Changes are coming to Maple World, at least for those of you living in the Netherlands. As part of the local crackdown on gambling, Nexon has announced upcoming trade restrictions that will apply directly to Netherlands players. The news post simply states that the restrictions are coming “soon” and that players will no longer be able to engage in the following:
- Give items and mesos to other players via 1:1 trade
- Certain Auction House/Meso Market functions
- Drop items and mesos
- Note: Items required for quest, boss, or other content can still be dropped.
The news post does note that something is coming to alleviate player frustration, however details are nonexistent as is the timetable for these changes. MapleStory is not the first game to institute restrictions for players in the Netherlands, and will no doubt not be the last.
“Please note that although the above measure should be taken to comply with the applicable Dutch law, we are working to hopefully help alleviate any frustration this change might cause you. We hope to share it with you very soon. We apologize for the wait.”
