http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/biz/2008/09/123_30556.html Animation companies including Walt Disney Co (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) have shown an interest in Nexon, South Korea's No.2 online game maker, according to the Nexon's founder. Another industry source said Disney proposed 2-3 trillion won to acquire Nexon.
Reuteres News (click here to see news about Disney & Nexon)....Kim Jung-ju, president of Nexon Holdings, the parent company of Nexon, seemed to agree when he hinted to a local newspaper that he might opt to sell a chunk of his 68 percent plus stake in the online game publisher if the right deal emerges.
However, after Kim’s comments were reported, Nexon officials were busy on the phones denying speculation that they are about to become employees of Walt Disney.
``No, it is not true,’’ said a Nexon spokesman, who claimed that Kim’s words were taken out of context in the interview.
The Nexon official revealed that the company has been negotiating with Walt Disney over potential business projects, such as releasing animation based on the characters of its popular games such as Maple Story, which has a strong following in the U.S. However, the talks have never been about selling company shares, he said.
An official at Walt Disney Korea declined to confirm whether the company is interested in Nexon or any other domestic online game provider. However, he said Walt Disney is committed to increasing its game-related revenue here, although there are no significant business projects to comment on as of yet.
http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSSEO25710420080904 ....In his interview with the Korea Economic Daily, Kim claimed that Walt Disney is one of the major animation companies that had shown consistent interest in Nexon.
``Right now, I have no plans to sell Nexon, which I worked so hard to develop over the past 15 years,’’ said Nexon’s founder.
``However, if they approach us with plans for an indirect investment or other reasonable offer, I will positively consider them,’’ he said.
I found that ona forum(not saying name) it wasnt basil though...

Yeah, I saw this.
The same creators of Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, Toontown, and Club Penguin.
If this happens I'm quitting Maplestory. More time to stalk Shawn Johnson and real life stuff.

Just to let you know, a few of the admins here are big Hannah Montanna fans, lololo. Trunks might give you a piece of his mind!
On the topic of Disney taking over nexon (I believe I first saw this on SW), I wouldnt put it past them to create something interesting/neat. Some Disney themed places could be fun xD
More importantly, hopefully Disney is better at customer service than Nexon.

Why does this decision (If it's indeed true) make me want to get a new hobby? And why do I also have this feeling that this co-operation with Disney will make it fail even harder than how EA has failed recently? (You know, the over-stretching of the Madden and Sims franchises, and how the DRM in Spore pissed a LOT of people off.)

Why would you assume that Disney would buy a successful game and then turn it into Disneyland? It's already successful (financially, anyway) so why change what's already working? I'd think it more likely that they'd buy the game in order to profit from making tie-in products. Mushmom plushies, anyone? Maplestory cartoon show? (Yeah, I know there's an anime, but it's not the same thing.)
If they did buy Nexon or MapleStory, I bet the customer service would improve.
Plus... GM Goofy. Think about it.

The Customer Service would improve, but id still quit.

Somehow that makes it worse. Imagine if they used the same voice actors to say stuff like "YOU GOT BANNED"...

I would seriously puke if I saw a Jonas Brothers NPC.
Really no comment O_o - Milelke - 2008-09-11
Its be worse if they're was a Hannah/Miley, Lily, Jackson, Dad person and Oliver NPC... (Throws-Up)

As far as Club Penguin, they did a joint thing with it. They didn't create it. *Yes, I have a penguin that I collect stuff on, shut it <_< *
While the customer service would hopefully improve...blech. I don't even wanna think about what they could do to the current game and make it disneyland online or w/e. :/

On another note a Maple Story attraction in Disneyland would be cool. :O
