1) No Hacking
the first and most important rule to follow
if caught by anyone, you'll be reported & your account will be banned

when you need something, ask in a polite way
in this way, people might attend to your needs
rather than just ignoring you
4) Be Professional
do not act noobish
do not ask people to find you this item and that item do not ask for mesos and stuffs
but you can let us know what you're looking for
5) No Leeching, No Looting
If you're in party and going afk, notify ur party members
If you want to loot, always ask them if it's okay to loot
Respect whatever they say to you

decisions will be made based on our discretion.
Fate has no forgiveness
for those who dare stand against it.

Valdorn's Issue
I have thought about it the whole night the whole guild deserves to know what has happened I am gonna be harsh on this because I realized that being too nice, people do take advantage of me.
Last night, Mark was caught hacking off-map with his friend DawnCB Angie and Avis saw him hacked before he logged off immediately. I went to find Mark but my presence was ignored and hostility was shown to me after I said "huge disappointment" to him
I know his intentions are good when he left the guild to hack because he do not want to drag anyone of us down or get caught hacking while he's in our guild however, insults/swearing to me and his guildmate are unaccepetable *edited: on second thought, I might take back what I said because technically.. he DID hack from level 84 to level 86 WHILE he was still in our guild he left guild probably because Avis noticed that he leveled twice in 24 hours.. and so he left guild because he didn't want them to track him or know that he is leveling unusally fast also, Ili reminded me about how he said he doesn't train If he doesn't train, how can he level? a few days back, he mentioned in guild about Valdorn not on rankings anymore because he was hacked by a friend the truth, i believe, was.. he hacks on Valdorn himself no one hacked him.
Recalling about the time he told us that his character was deleted by his friend it was all a lie.. all a make-up story, isn't it? I will repost what you wrote in the message board

April 14th, 2007 (The Day Mark's Char was "Deleted") and this was what he wrote:
I got hacked? Its a sad time for me I lost my account to some one Im guessing it was somone I know in real life but thats not the worse part... Valdorn isent on the rankings anymore and that meens hes been deleated so I guess I quit maplestory now
Over a years work lost instantly. Im feeling realy down, had alot of fun in the short say with you guys. Im realy unhappy maybe il play again one day lots of love to you guys, peace...
I dont realy feel like making another character anymore ade, Im almost 18 and I practically cryed about it today, seems so pointless.
I doubt I got banned for hacking simply because there was just too little time between when I logged off and tryed to log back in, 7-8 hours for them to have time to hack and get banned. Even if that were true I still would be able to access my Account, and chances are if i did im not gona have any item or mesos. My gut feeling is that they just went in. Looted everything deleated my characters and left.
I recently changed my pass so Dan dident know it. So it couldent have been him, anyway hes my best mate he wouldent do it periord

To Mark:
You got banned for hacking and u created a story to cover it up and pretended to be a legit you tried to get all our sympathy to prove ur innocence and you even approached me silently to tell me about this.. and used me to cover up the truth you betrayed my trust, used me, lied to me and even insulted me i thought you were my friend but now i see it, there wasn't a friendship to begin with you were just using me all along
Honestly, I already suspected you since the day ur character was banned but u were my friend.. that's why i didn't bother interogating you i didn't even tracked you or get people to track you it was only yesterday i told Angie and Avis to track you was because I whispered to you, asking you why u left guild. there was no response but you cc-ed to my channel and cc-ed away fast i knew u were not afk i didn't know why u were not responding to me and since u were in Angie's channel, i told her to track you Angie said u were MDT and Avis was nearby at DT so they went to look for you and they caught you
I spoke of this matter to four people Chrys, Ili, Angie and Cyn and they have clearly told me where they stand I made the decision to let everyone know what you did because of 4 reasons 1) You took advantage of the authority i hold in the guild and used me to assure everyone that u did not hack 2) You betrayed my trust and lied to me 3) You pretended to be a legit and cheated sympathy from everyone 4) You insulted me and your guildmate
A real friend will not do that to me you make me realized that there wasn't a friendship to begin with
BUT I did acknowledge that you apologized to me in the end I did feel that this apology you said to me was sincere
I do not know what you want me to do as of now but you should know the guild rules about hacking and I do know that you will never return to our guild you won't even asked to return
We tried to understand your situation at that moment when you insulted me maybe it was because there was a crowd maybe because avis pissed you off before maybe u met with some problems in real life I came up with as many possibilities as I can to make myself believe that you had ur reasons but Mark, you're 18.. I expect you to be more mature in handling your problems and not start swearing at me... if i were ur friend.
if Avis had pissed you before that I apologize to you on his behalf but this is not an excuse for you to have reacted the way you did
Perhaps I should show you what other guildmates said about you in the forum to let you know that you are very well-liked by some.. not all because they have not met you personally

Jo wrote: All I can say is, Mark seemed like a really nice guy yo me but he cannot be let back into the guild. If he was up to talking with me as a buddy I would add him, but I think it would be unfair to jeopardize our legitimacy that we have tried so hard to build up. He's a nice guy and I can talk to him as a friend but I do not think it would be fair to put our guild members at risk of being banned because of his decision. He left the guild because he knew it was right to, he knew we were anti hacker too, so telling us would have been awkward. However cussing at guild members isn't acceptable. If he had been responsible and said, "Guys I left because I have been hacking/ decided to hack" I am sure this wouldn't be a problem.
Ada wrote again: hmm that's very nice of him to leave the guild and trying not to get us banned but just like jo said...he didn't tell us coz we are anti-hackers. but he shouldn't been rude too avis or ade....that's very....err...what's the word
Ili wrote: well i think he is a good guy so why not give him the chance to be friends... i know he was very rude to u guys but u know when someone is angry can say many things that they dont want to say, just think how will u feel if suddenly 3-4 people come to confront u when u did something bad ... in the end he apologize it shows he know he was wrong. i know how dissapointed u r bcs i feel bad abt that too bcs he lied to us, but i think all deserve a second chance .. im not saying let him get in again for obvious reasons but why not keep him as friend ?
Chrys said: "I get as frustrated as the next person about the hacking problem but the fact of the matter is we can't really do anything about it. If someone is a good person and make a bad decision about how they play this game, then I do not think that is a reason to stop having contact with them. At this point, I definitely agree he should not be in the guild because then that puts people at risk and that is unacceptable"

Not everyone wrote because not everyone signed up in the forums. You chose to hack, it does not make you a bad person I have a hacker friend, he is nice and I do not go round tracking him and get him banned but what you did with the 4 reasons I mentioned above, made me chose a harsher way to deal with you
I choose to forgive you because of the good moments we shared before and I did see you as a friend even when I suspected you I gave you my trust still because I believed that you wouldn't betray me I was wrong and I accept it because it's my mistake too
Whether or not we're still friends, I think we need a distance for now Maybe you choose not to be friends, who knows whatever the decision will be,

Wish List
Objective
-allow others to know what you're looking for, so that if they found what you're looking for, they can inform you.
-whether they will give it free, lend or sell it to you, it's up to individual decision
-do not say things like "hey, we're in the same guild. Give it to me free/sell it to me cheap". like i said, the item belongs to the owner and whatever the owner plans to do with the item, u must respect it.
