As you may have already known, Nexon America is working to bring BannedStory back online. As stated on a thread in their MapleStory Forums, they are working with their global legal affairs office to lift the Cease and Desist letter and allow http://www.maplesimulator.com continue its activities the way they were before.

Today (May 31 2011), Nexon America sent me an email authorizing the restoration of MapleSimulator and BannedStory. This means that I can now put BannedStory, MapleMap and all their related content back online. Here is their email:

[COLOR="deepskyblue"] Greetings Ion,

We’ll try to answer your questions but in the meantime you can proceed with your website activities prior to the shutdown. If we have any questions about your website and its contents, we will be in touch!

Thank you![/COLOR]

But lets not forget that there is legal action involved in this, therefore I cannot proceed if I don't have some legal resource that invalidates the C&D letter from Nexon Korea or at least a formal letter explaining that I can resume activities in MapleSimulator. Plus, they need to clear out some doubts I have regarding their lift:

1. I am allowed to use again the content from GMS?
2. What about the other game clients? I am allowed to use them all including Korea?
3. Isn't Nexon going to stablish any rules regarding the use of their name in the site and/or programs? For example, I must use their logo inside the site and/or programs.
4. What about my advertising in the site? Is it ok with them?
5. Can I keep developing new ideas on the programs?

So, essentially I am waiting for their response.

So basically he could continue right now, with the permission of Nexon America, but he wants them to answer some questions first.

Interesting, but awesome news.
