Good bundle of Star Wars themed games Anyone looking for some really cheap games to play, there's a huge bundle of Star Wars games on Humble Bundle right now. They're older games of course, but it you haven't played them before there's a lot to choose from. Most are 3rd person RTS and strategy, one is a FPS and one flight sim, all based on the Star Wars Universe. Some titles are Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Academy and Dark Forces (those are pay whatever you want), Battlefront II, Knights of the Old Republic II and 4 others (those are beat the average of $11.42 currently), and Empire at War Gold, The Force Unleashed Ultimate and The Force Unleashed II (those are pay $12 or more). In all it's 12 games for $12. I remember paying a lot mo

Misunderstanding about Deputies 'deleting' threads I've seen a lot of people who have apparently misunderstood how the Deputy system works, and who have been expressing dismay that Deputies can "delete" threads. That's NOT how it works at all. When a thread is reported, it's "dimmed" slightly. If it's reported again, it's "dimmed" more. If a thread is reported three or more times, it's blanked from view, BUT NOT DELETED. ALL reports are evaluated by the Moderators and nothing is done with the threads until they've been checked out. If a thread is found to have been incorrectly reported, the "dimming" is removed and if it's been made invisible from being reported the thread will be restored to normal.

Anyone else having trouble with the Report function? The last few days the Report function from peoples' forum posts has been acting oddly for me. Quite often clicking "Report" results in nothing happening, as if javascript has stopped working, but all the other functions on the line (Delete, Quote and so on) work instantly when clicked. Sometimes reloading the page helps, but very often I have to close the page and reload it from the main forum page before Report will work. Makes it pretty tough cleaning up a badly spammed thread or one where everyone is discussing NX selling or whatever... :(

WARNING- Uninstall Pando Media Booster - NOW! Anyone who still has Pando Media Booster (formerly used to download Maplestory) installed on their computers should UNINSTALL it [b]IMMEDIATELY[/b]. Hackers have hijacked the update function of Pando and are using it to trick people into downloading an "update" which is actually a browser hijack ("virus" ).

Unleashed Matt vs Evolution Matt scrolls I don't usually follow DPS charts and damage algorithms, so this one isn't really that clear- What would give you the best overall results... Using an Unleashed Magic Attack scroll which gives +5 INT and +5 MATT or using an Evolution Magic Attack scroll which gives +8 MATT...? Character level around 165. I'm guessing the 3 extra MATT of the Evolution scroll outweighs the benefit of the +5 INT from the Unleashed scroll, but I know there are usually a lot of "yeah, but" to consider with stuff like this.

Dont click on 'girlfriend pictures' Now the slimeball who's been trying to keylog Basil users has changed tactics and is posting "My Ex-Girlfriend Pictures" on Basil, trying to get people to click his link and download his keylogger. Don't do it. There's been one here in General Maplestory, and one in Chat. Hopefully nobody has fallen for those. Don't EVER click on anything like this, and especially don't ever download a file from a file-sharing site that someone posts here on Basil. 99% of the time it's a keylogger. Edit- in this case the slimeball tells you to click his link which takes you to a filesharing site. Then you have to download his file and unRar it, then click on the file to run it. If you didn't do all of that, you'

'Hot time event' site posted by xMadarax Anyone who went to the "Hot Time Event" site posted by xMadarax and entered their information should [b]CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW[/b] It was a "phishing" site intended to STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT. If you went to the site but didn't enter anything (or entered fake info), then you're OK. It wasn't a "keylogger", it was just trying to get you to enter your login info. If you DID enter your info, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY or you'll lose your account.

Basil Keylogger Warning Some slimeball has been keylogging Basil users and stealing their accounts then posting a YouTube video with the hacked accounts that's supposedly a [b]"Mapcrash being used in Fm"[/b], but when you go to the link in the video to get the "map crash", the file is actually a keylogger and you end up losing your accounts. If you see anyone posting anything like this, PM a Mod immediately so we can remove it, and DON'T download the file in the video description link. If you DID download this thing, Microsoft Security Essentials (free from Microsoft, Google it) will detect and remove it.
