This isn't new... these letters come out for every single mmo that has private servers- WoW RO Lineage2 FlyFF Runescape LoA MuOnline Knight Online Those are just a couple big games to name a few that there are headhunters that basically find the most popular server and shut it down. It really doesn't matter how much money the server makes it could make $0 but the thing is because people are playing private servers instead of the officials then that means the companies are losing customers which like in Maplestory they have sponsers as seen by the NPC's all around in the game - CVS, Target, blah blah blah also they prevent the people from actually purchasing subscriptions and things like NX and such. In the end its a scary thought, but it happens. |

ROFL Yes, let's ask some 15 year old kid for his opinion. Because obviously, the word of a minor means so much in general law. Besides, plenty of private servers have things still to be challenging. If you were to interview me, I'd say that "There is no challenge if everything isn't reasonably obtainable." Which, for official servers, is true for those who are non-paying customers. And saying there is no fun in private servers? Period? Who died and made him god? Opinions are not to be stated as facts, thanks. And the glitches and errors comment is ironic. Sure, there have been ongoing problems that nobody can seem to fix that GMS doesn't have, but consider how long GMS left the Mortal Blow disconnect to plague bowmen. The OdinMS developers weren't official, but they were easily ten times as responsive and active in fixing glitches than the entire "official" team running GMS. |

Completely agreed Girlfriend. If you take a look at the time it took Nexon to ''make'' Maple Story and how long it took Odin to make their maple story then Odin was definitely faster. And they were with less people than Nexon too.Matze and Serpendiem could update their files within days when a new patch came out. It's too bad that they're gone now..... |

@ Girlfriend, +1 It's without a doubt that even though yes, Nexon did make the game, private servers are in many aspects better. The people who casually code stuff for it are so much faster. I'm not saying Nexon is complete crap, I mean yeah, you have to give them some credit. But every little thing with Nexon is slow, slow, slow. That whole thing is ridiculous. They try to make it seem like something serious, but look at it, really. That whole quote is one big "BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW." QQ more Nexon. x] Edited by Smiley, Jan 5 2009, 03:30 PM.

yuh, Just so you guys know Asiasoft comes out with stuff 50x faster then Nexon does... Iono if any of you have played in Asiasoft's Versions of Maplestory but they are so much better then GMS. Strange how Asiasoft just publishes it they don't own it, just rights to it and they do so much more and faster then Nexon does. And to Smiley- Nexon didn't make the game, Wizet did. Wizet Merged into Nexon, Giving Nexon full rights to the game. |

Some stuff has been created by Nexon America. Amoria and Masteria (New Leaf City and Crimsonwood) both originated in GMS, and were developed after the merger. Although a majority of the content we get is translated from the Korean version of Maple Story. Part of the criticism of Nexon America is that not only does it seemingly take forever to translate and port over what kMS already has, but when we finally do get it, most of the time, the translated text has typos or is written in mangled english. I still remember when I took my first 3rd job advancement to become a Sniper, Athena was gender confused over her dark clone, first saying I would meet her through the dimensional portal, then saying to bring back the charm that drops from him. And the content that we do create here in the states ends up with problems too, like the crappy hit boxes for Wolf Spiders, Elderwraiths, and Bigfoot, all of which are Masteria monsters. And let's not forget the fiasco of forgetting Bigfoot's boss tag and banning whoever they THOUGHT abused the fact that you could poison/shadow web it!` |

It seems that Nexon actually made the game WORSE, I mean, before wizet merged, they were doing better. |

^ Yeah. Although there wasn't much to do besides grind really it was better I suppose. Btw LOL at NLC, that was a joke. There was a newsletter somewhere about how mad Asiasoft was at Nexon for fucking up CWK, the portals are all fucked up and sloppy, sure its suppose to be kind of a maze but not in that manner. Nexon just made NLC for the money that people would spend on gachapon. And when NLC did come out they did and still do make a crap load of money from the gachapon tickets used to get white scrolls from NLC. Although NLC, did make the life of an assassin and a 2h swordie ALOT easier because of WS in Clocktower. |

on top of that, it seems that there were A LOT, i mean A LOT more hackers when Nexon merged with Wizet. Not only that, many of the promises Nexon started to give would either never come true, or take one month or longer then what they had promised. They even screwed some really good maps up, such as the coolie zombie maps. Those used to be SO awesome for training because it was flat. But guess what nexon did to the maps? The split the maps so that they had at least 3 platforms in each map. It even took them soo long to add the Lich in (Monster in the top left or top right corner of the zombies map that if you hit it, you will be sent to town). |

Sup, Singaporean here. PS: Asiasoft just 'hosts/distributes' the game, not really doing anything much other than helping out with advertisement stuff, etc. Nexon/Wizet are the ones that handle MSEA. PPS: Items in game are pretty much made by the Korean people, with some help from the experts from other countries. I overheard a chat with a GM saying that to develop content, the staff from Nexon America(just an example) have to do the planning, not really design. Korean designers have to fly in from Korea and finally start doing the graphics/etc. Edited by Ryanide, Jan 8 2009, 08:22 AM.
