Selling, Buying and Trading of Account

An AsiaSoft Passport is a personal account that can be used to register multiple games and services, not just MapleStory. Please treasure and safeguard your Passport at all times.
It has come to our attention that the buying and selling of AsiaSoft Passport accounts and MapleStory accounts are taking place in MapleSEA. Please kindly note that such activities are not desirable in MapleSEA as the sellers and buyers will be solely responsible for their actions.
We will like to draw all players’ attention that the trading of accounts may lead into the following possible scenarios:

1. Seller recovers sold account
Seller sells AsiaSoft Passport / MapleStory account to buyer.
Seller regrets and wants the account back. Buyer refuses.
Seller reports that his/her account been hacked, to AsiaSoft.
With correct particulars provided (such as Name, National ID, Address etc.), AsiaSoft will return the account to the Seller, who is deemed to be the owner.

2. Selling Banned Accounts
Seller sells AsiaSoft Passport / MapleStory account to buyer.
During trading, the account is banned when the seller uses a hack.
Buyer had already paid the money for the account but seller refuses to refund.
Buyer reports to AsiaSoft on the situation.
AsiaSoft will not lift the ban and account will be terminated as it does not belong to buyer after verification.

3. Seller Passport suspended due to Buyer’s Actions
Seller sells AsiaSoft Passport / MapleStory account to buyer.
Buyer repeatedly commits hacking / bot-ing / harassment / scam etc and account is banned.
Seller’s AsiaSoft Passport account which the bought MapleStory account belongs to, will be banned too.

In any of the above scenarios, it is unfair to both buyer and seller. AsiaSoft cannot be responsible for the actions of the parties involved as it is of their accord. Both parties will risk taking losses especially when Cash Shop is out. In the 1st scenario, if the buyer is to charge any cash into the account, the seller can just claim back the account by reporting the account has been hacked.
Hence, for any possible ownership claims, members are advised to submit valid particulars such as Name, National ID, Address, Date of Birth etc. in order to prevent disputes over ownership. In accordance with MapleSEA Terms of Use, any account with information deemed invalid will be suspended.
During investigations, any account that is registered with a National ID that belongs to another person will be returned to that actual person after verification.
Penalty for selling, buying and trading of accounts include:
There is an administrative charge of SGD$50 for resolving ownership claims.
Any Passport sold for commercial gains will have all accounts wiped before returning to the owner.
Any Passport traded in exchange for another passport will have all accounts wiped before returning to the owner.
In the event the Passport contains information that is unable to be verified during the resolution process (e.g. fake National ID), the passport will be terminated.
All banned accounts (for hacking, scamming, drop game, advertising hack, selling cash items, selling accounts etc.) will result in their respective Passport being suspended for security reasons. Players will not be able to login into their Passport and are required to perform an identity verification. If this is not done within 90 days, the Passport together with all game accounts will be deleted. No refunds will be made for any A-Cash or items left within.


Use of Prohibited IGNs

Please be careful in any name selection. Read the Terms of Use and respect all our rules regarding character name selection. If you have a character name that goes against our terms of service, please delete the character and start anew. For characters with unacceptable names created before 13th May 2005, the administrator shall rename the characters. Players unsatisfied with the renaming can opt to delete their character(s). After the mentioned date, we will be forced to permanently ban accounts that do not comply.
For simple reference, avoid:
1. Impersonation of GM names, NPCs, other chars
2. Sexual context
3. Obscene body organs
4. Vulgarity or otherwise offensive, or may cause confusion
5. Drug/Narcotic references
6. Action phrases or complete sentences such as “Youwillnotsurvive”, “defameme”, “killme”.
7. Names that is or may be illegal or is or may be protected by trademark or other proprietary rights laws
8. Names reference hacking such as “haaacker”, “goodbotter”
9. Names that make no sense or created to confuse other users with letter masking such as “0liveOlL”, “lksdjflij”. (i.e. switching “i”s for “L”s and zeros for the letter “o”).
10. Otherwise inappropriate.
If we believe you have created an account to mislead, confuse or annoy other players with the spelling of the name, the administrator will either ban or rename you. If you are concerned or in doubt about a name choice, we suggest you do not use it.
Penalty for usage of prohibited IGNs include:
If character was created before 13 May 2005, Character will be renamed.
If later than 13 May 2005, Character will be deleted.


Cash and Game Items

It has come to our attention that the buying and selling of MapleStory Cash Items and Game Items is taking place in MapleSEA. Please kindly note that sale of Cash/Game Items for legal tender is strictly illegal as the ownership of all items and materials belongs to AsiaSoft Online and Wizet. In addition, such illegal activities are not desirable in MapleSEA as sellers and buyers will be solely responsible for their actions. There is no mechanism to ensure the exchange is fair and will be carried out entirely.
Trading of Cash/Game Items in the following are deemed illegal:
Cash Items for Game Items.
Cash Items for Mesos.
Cash Items for any form of legal tender (Money)
Game Items for any form of legal tender (Money)
We will like to draw all players’ attention that the trading of Cash/Game Items may lead into the following possible scenarios:

1. Buyer does not pay for items received
Seller transfers items first to Buyer
Buyer runs away with items.
If caught, Buyer may not have the items with him/her anymore. Items cannot be recovered.

2. Seller does not transfer items for payment received
Buyer pays Seller first.
Seller runs away with payment.
If caught, Seller may not have the items/payment with him/her anymore. Items cannot be recovered.

In any of the above scenarios, it is unfair to both parties and AsiaSoft. AsiaSoft cannot be responsible for the actions of the parties involved as it is of their accord and risk undertaking.
Consequences for illegal trading include:
Ban period of 21 days
Require Passport verification within 90 days
During this period, the banned user WILL NOT be able to play any game. Kindly note that each user should only have 1 Passport registered to his/her National ID. AsiaSoft will have more games in the near future that tie in with the same passport.
All banned accounts (for hacking, scamming, drop game, advertising hack, selling cash items, selling accounts etc.) will result in their respective Passport being suspended for security reasons. Players will not be able to login into their Passport and are required to perform an identity verification. If this is not done within 90 days, the Passport together with all game accounts will be deleted. No refunds will be made for any A-Cash or items left within.
