In a recent and alarming development, Kim Byung-min, the CEO of MIN COMMUNICATIONS, has issued a stern warning to the dedicated players of RAN ONLINE. The warning pertains to the existence of illegal private servers being promoted on the official Facebook fan page of RAN ONLINE (GS), threatening the integrity of the beloved online game and the trust of its devoted player base.

In a heartfelt letter addressed to the RAN ONLINE community, CEO Kim Byung-min began by acknowledging his role as the former service provider of RAN ONLINE GS, which was officially terminated three years ago. He shed light on the unfortunate circumstances that led to the termination, notably internal employee misconduct and the challenges in recruiting high-quality talent to maintain the game's quality.

The CEO expressed his gratitude to the Southeast Asian customers who had supported RAN ONLINE throughout the years but raised a red flag about individuals claiming to offer future services on the Facebook page. These individuals, according to Kim Byung-min, are former employees who are collaborating with fraudsters in Korea to deceive customers into thinking they have legally acquired RAN ONLINE service rights from MIN COMMUNICATIONS.

It's essential to clarify that MIN COMMUNICATIONS, under Kim Byung-min's ownership, currently holds the trademark and copyright rights to RAN ONLINE. Despite several offers from Korean publishers to sell service rights, MIN COMMUNICATIONS has declined these offers due to concerns about the limited development capabilities of the potential buyers. The CEO categorically stated that there are no plans to sell service rights in the future.

One of the CEO's primary concerns is the potential for illegal private servers to exploit players and operate as criminal enterprises. Kim Byung-min believes that these actions could tarnish the memories players have of the game.

Furthermore, the CEO made it clear that he has no intention of servicing RAN ONLINE on mobile or in any other form in the future, citing concerns about individuals currently preparing illegal private servers who lack the necessary competence to manage a legitimate gaming service.

The message was also an appeal to the RAN ONLINE community to safeguard the legacy of the game. Kim Byung-min urged players not to support these illegal endeavors and instead remember the game fondly as a cherished memory. He assured the community that MIN COMMUNICATIONS continues to operate, thanks to its internal cash reserves.

Finally, the CEO acknowledged that the RAN GS fan page is currently being illegitimately operated by a former employee. He requested the community's support in spreading his message and advised that they copy his post and share it on the RAN GS Facebook page to raise awareness of the situation. Additionally, MIN COMMUNICATIONS intends to request Facebook to delete the RAN GS fan page through the proper procedures.

In the face of these challenges, it is essential for the RAN ONLINE community to remain vigilant, support legitimate endeavors, and honor the memories created within the game. CEO Kim Byung-min's heartfelt message serves as a beacon of hope, aiming to protect the integrity of RAN ONLINE and its dedicated players from the threats posed by an illegal private server that is being promoted at the RAN GS facebook fan page at the moment.

This is the unedited version of the letter:

This is Kim Byung-min, CEO of MINCOMMUNICATION, who previously serviced RAN ONLINE ONLINE GAME.

As you all already know, RAN ONLINE GS service was officially terminated three years ago.

Here's why: Internal employees continued to commit internal fraud.

A warning and resignation were issued.

Another reason is:
As competition to secure high-quality human resources has intensified in the game development industry in Korea, it has been difficult to recruit high-quality talent with MINCOMS RAN ONLINE Southeast Asia imports, and as a result, the quality of content such as updates has continued to decline. This is a good update for Southeast Asian customers who love RAN ONLINE. We were unable to provide you with...

Those who are currently promising next month's service on the Facebook RAN ONLINE GS fan page, who have quit the company and cannot get a job at another company, are collaborating with fraudsters in Korea to lie and pretend that they legally acquired RAN ONLINE service rights from MINCOMS. They are attempting to defraud their customers.

I, Byung-Min Kim and MINCOM currently legally own the trademark and copyright rights. Although we were asked to sell service rights by several publishers in Korea, we did not sell RAN ONLINE service rights because the development capabilities of the companies we wanted to purchase from were clearly limited, and we have no plans to sell service rights in the future.

I, Byung-min Kim, have always been grateful to the customers who have loved RAN ONLINE, and I hope that RAN ONLINE GAME will remain as a good memory in the hearts of customers.

If you sell the service rights to a publisher in Korea, you may personally be able to make some profit.

Currently, MINCOM has only let its employees resign, but the corporation is active, and thankfully, the internal cash reserves are not small, so there is no problem maintaining Kim Byung-min's personal life.

CEO Kim Byung-min has no intention of servicing RAN ONLINE on mobile or again.

The reasons are as follows. 
Previous developers and GMs who are currently illegally preparing private services.
These are people who cannot transfer to another company due to lack of competency.
The previous private server and the people preparing for next month's service are fraudsters in Korea and several employees who have left the company. If you enjoy this private server, it will be used as criminal funds. I am very concerned about these situations.
We hope to leave good memories in the hearts of customers who have enjoyed and loved RAN ONLINE.
By providing services again, we do not want to create a bad situation where excessive sales are made to pay the salaries of the company's employees.

Thank you for reading my long post.
MINCOMS CEO Kim Byung-min

So I left the original Korean text, and some parts of the Google translation may not sound natural.
Please understand this point.

And currently, the RAN GS fan page is being illegally operated by a former employee.
I am sending this message because I feel like if Facebook writes this, they will block me from the fan page account. Please copy my post and post it on RAN GS Facebook and let me know.

We will also request Facebook to delete the RAN GS fan page, but it will take time due to some procedures.

Please spread my writing.. Thank you.
