Yup because some things are fun or surprising, for example :
"We reserve the right to be able to refuse to grant you or be able to terminate a username that [...] is comprised of or includes "Leet" or "Dudespeak" (e.g., OMGnewb, xLOLx, AFKbotman)"
Didn't even know that l33t were not allowed

It's not "illegal" (Prohibited by law), only against Nexon's rules

It's royal hair from last year ([url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/Events.aspx?boardNo=200&contentNo=00Cv4&pageIndex=1]Hime Hair[/url])
You also have to be 18+ to sign up a nexon account with parental consent as well.
The ToU/ToS is skipped 90% of the time
If that happened Maple would be so lonely.
Ks will allways be there.
i hate it too, but all mmos have it and its normal.
To be ban-able, Nexon would need GMs ate the same number of players.
It will allways be a fact.
[quote=Zamn]Who actually reads the ToS?[/quote]
Mostly nobody reads them, they expect you to read them and know them, then they will just have proof and reasoning if they ban you.
@Arktal where did u got that haircut?
LOL you think nexon cares about TOS except words with "nx"
Why is this even a topic?
It's not/isn't going to stop anything.
More than half of the community would be banned if Nexon actually did anything according to those terms. But then they'd lose money, and it's Nexon.

Many people have or will do does things, do they always get banned?
Chances of getting banned for KSing - Lower than 10%
Chances of getting banned due to bad luck - Higher than 40%
Serious?
Well I doubt anyone's going to get scared by that. You can't expect people to CC when you tell them that you will report and ban them, but you can expect to look like a fool.
is it illegal to [b]not[/b] read the terms of use?
cuz i dont bother.
People should read the terms of use in general.
