Did anyone know that VietnamMS is closing? - holyforest - 2010-06-18
I might be late, but I just heard that on September 14th, 2010, that VietnamMS will be closing. That sort of sucks.

Oh. Well, yeah it's true I guess. I went to strategy wiki and I found this :
" Dear Maplers,
Maplestory has been officially released in Vietnam for almost 2 years, since October 2008. This has not been a very long amount of time, but it has been long enough for you, the Maple community, to form a close and friendly bond to experience adventures together in the amazing and beautiful Maple world. We have had the chance to become brave Warriors, mystical Magicians, extremely accurate Bowmen and swift Rogues along our adventure.
Because of this, we, the Maplestory Executive Board in Vietnam finds it very hard to say goodbye now, but: Maplestory will officially end its services on September 14, 2010. The reason for this is at that moment, the Vinagame company's contract signed with Nexon, the producers of Maplestory in Korea, will expire.
From now until the end of September 14, 2010, we will still continue all activities in the game, the web page as well as the forums so that Maplers may still play the game, communicate with friends and keep close bonds.
In the near future, we will organize a few events to say goodbye to gamers as a way to thank all of you for playing and supporting the game for all this time. After the game closes on September 14, the remaining amount of Zingxu in your accounts may still be used in other games by Vinagame.
Every goodbye leaves behind sadness and regrets. Please allow us, the Maplestory Executive Board in Vietnam, to send all Maplers our most humble apologies.
Sincerely,
The Maplestory executive Board. "

I bet that is because they werent making enough profit so Nexon decided to axe them...

They split from MSEA a long time ago, from what I've heard. Chances are that AsiaSoft may allow Vietnamese IPs to access MSEA again, if they still want to play Maple after this.

Based on how they phrased it I believe it's more accurate to say they didn't feel it profitable enough to renew their contract with Nexon by paying additional licensing/franchising fees and are closing instead.

That's generally how business works. If it loses money, you drop it. Why would that be a bad thing?

You at least know that there's a BrazilMS, right? O.o

Sucks to be the high leveled and funded players. Here's hoping that they merge with another version or get some sort of refund/compensation..

That is so ridiculous. They should merge the characters with another version. They don't even acknowledge the fact that they're taking hard work away from people.
Though maybe they're doing them a favour. They wasted 2 years of their life, they can't waste anymore now. That's all I think of my constant repetivie killing of skeletons to get to level 150 (Hero) in global. Biggest waste of my life.

I didn't even know a VietnamMS existed, either. I only knew a BrazilMS existed because of that big server data leak.

Gaming is not hard work, and the ToS that no one ever reads pretty much tells you that they can close the game and not compensate you at any time. People take MMOs way too seriously. Your online efforts have no actual value.

Well if they did merge, ThailandMS and MapleSEA are the closest....I don't think they will though. It's sad to hear.

Wow, that's really too bad. Maybe Vinagames and Nexon weren't on good terms. Or, like someone said, maybe it was just too much to handle for them. :/

I read it as they were making money, just not enough for Nexon.

I love how greedy Nexon is, I hope VietnamMS hoster doesn't give Nexon the database they have now and screw'em up.

There were barely any Vietnamese playing MapleSEA back then...
