wow.... the rule is against IGN, i dont think they care about your account name....since noone except you can see that. The point in blocking inappropriate names is that they do not want 12 year olds seeing it.

There IS a rule against inappropriate IGNs. Besides, even if there wasn't, do you think they'd let people walk around with IGNs concerning male and female reproductive organs? No. EDIT: If you actually READ all that, it becomes QUITE clear by username they are inferring IGN

xXalita24Xx : you cant make an IGN like batman or spiderman? what? No, because technically it's copyright infringement.

NEXON : includes or is comprised of partial or complete sentences (e.g., "Youwillnotsurvive") I think they're hinting at something.

Well, I'm not breaking any rule, because there is no rule on IGN, they never said anything about IGN, the rule said USERNAME. Username is different from IGN. Ask 100 gamers what's the difference between a username and IGN. They never made a rule. LOL at WonderWoman http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Rank/Game&ranktype=TotRank GreenLantern http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Rank/Game&ranktype=TotRank Superman http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Rank/Game&ranktype=TotRank Justice League is here Even the Inglorious Basterds Lt Aldo Raine http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Rank/Game&ranktype=TotRank (And I want my scalps!)

ID. Identity. Aka. Login name, username. ID is the one you log in with. Username, which means a name of your user, aka. Maplestory Character. Anyway, why would anyone want BS as their nickname? O.o
