In this case it could mislead anyone watching it lol "Going back to the roots" -Plays in the non reboot world-, what a fail from their PR marketing.
They could at least give those promotions some guidelines about certain stuff argh, just some basic information relayed to them...
Well the top comment to that video is "Omfg literally everything is so fucking cute in this game I can't even." so the advertisements are working most likely.

"Hey, perma pets, just in time for reboot!"
And then the pets weren't in the reboot cash shop, even as timed versions.

Today's Hot time (12/19/2015) Gave you 2k maple points.
This week's Hot Days give 2k Maple Points
If you do every Hot Day, you can choose another of the rewards you got in the week, aka 2k more Maple Points
That's 6k Maple points, enough for you to buy a pet and even a auto-hp or mp skill if you were so inclined.
Nevermind, i read it wrong.

That's not 6k Maple Points, that's 2k Maple Points and 4k Maple Reward Points, which are basically worthless if you don't have the NX to back them up, unless you like, want to buy a red or black cube. You can't get a pet with that.

maybe not kill but perhaps allow it to die a slow death
i still can't see how reboot will be as profitable as the other servers. with just pets and a small range of cosmetics to buy
maybe the strategy is to boost traffic and then when the troubles mount, people will want to go back to their old chars and buy cubes again. i have already almost given up on my reboot due to the loot lag. though today i have gone back in to collect familiar cards while they are working again

right. it's like they want it to be a failure, with this extremely stingy offering of products in this server's cash shop.

I will agree that the Cash Shop is lacking content, but a company wanting their product to be a failure is extremely cynical. If we were talking about a government of some sort I could understand more, but a company is trying to make profit. Lets be honest, Maplestory hasn't seen this much activity in a long time. Hell, I have a guild again and my friends are playing again. Granted we're all in our mid-late twenties now and can't spend 12 hours a day like we have done in the past, but it has revived quite a damn bit. I'm enjoying the content Reboot is offering. Does it have problems? Yes, yes it does. Nothing is perfect but it is a lot better then what it has been. I'm so glad scrolling is gone. That pomegranate made me want to quit multiple times.
dowie Wrote:every map / channel in singapore has botters n hackers hah
No gaming company will ever admit this but hackers/botters will always be a problem and will always exist. If you know a good amount of Computer Science, you know that all programs can be reverse engineered, and vulnerabilities can be found. When it comes to coding video games, unless you're part of the original staff, you are most likely gonna be coding/working on some legacy program/project/game. That means you are going through someone else's work and adding/modifying/deleting things. Different coders, different techniques, different styles. Some may leave more loose ends then others. The biggest MMORPG (World of Warcraft) still has a HUGE botting/hacking problem to this day. And that game is run by Blizzard Entertainment, a company that seems to have more respect then Nexon.
The nice thing about reboot is that the impact hackers/botters have is a much smaller magnitude. You can't hack/bot for mesos to sell because there is no trading and no Free Market. There is no benefits to hacking Reboot accounts/characters because you can't gain any sort of real income due to the previous example. The only thing it truly has an impact on is the rankings. And lets be honest, rankings is bullshit. It's just a penis measuring contest in "who has the most time to waste".

Yes, but are you buying NX?
The company doesn't just want you playing and using up their resources (of which they allocated way too few to Reboot). They want you buying NX. And if they don't put anything in the Cash Shop that you want to buy, you won't be doing much of that.

Wrong.
People are botting up accounts for sale. For some real-world dollars you can buy an account with several - or many - billion meso on it.
Maybe if they completely disabled storage in Reboot that would slow that business down (not everybody wants to main random-named Blaze Wizard character, no matter how "funded").
People are also selling boss carries and meso-botting leech, both for real-world money.
I daresay hackers are making more $$$ off Reboot right now than Nexon is.
Furthermore, it has an effect on player motivation.
People who aren't competitive don't mind playing in the existing servers, for the most part. The fact that others can just plunk down a few thousand dollars and instantly beat CRA or Hellux doesn't bother them. In fact, they're glad to have someone to carry them through bosses or sell them best-in-slot gear for a low meso cost.
Competitive people, however, wanted Reboot for the "level playing field" aspect. To know that with hard work they can be "the best."
If the server is cheat2win rather than pay2win, it's no better, and in some ways much worse, than the normal ones.

The game absolutely is cheat to win, and the fact cRA and hard magnus are downed and other players are where they are completely proves that. Hell, look at the maplestory reddit and you'll see a few threads of people flat out admitting they've been doing nothing but botting at those retarded maps (that shouldn't even exist) and have 1mil+ ranges already. The server is already completely ruined on a competitive level. My motivation is fading fast since I can't compete to people whose characters are grinding billions of mesos a day.

Miracle time should not have applied to reboot. If you didn't have the time to farm meso (or bot it), you're far enough behind that catching up is nearly impossible.
I hope we start seeing bans once GMs are back from vacation.
A streamer that's been getting lots of views and preaching legitness accidentally showed his hacking trainer subscription - this is the type of community reboot has right now.
Not to mention there's still a trade exploit. Really REALLY easy to hack on a throwaway and transfer cubed gear to your main.
