So would this be someone that reports to a Community Manager or a literal CM?

Not just because he was a good CM, but because this is likely the last time Nexon hires someone who actually plays the game for that position.

It's possible his leaving had nothing to do with the job itself. We've been told that he has recently had to move back to Seattle due to family issues, and was tele-commuting from there. However, I think that if that were the reason, we'd have had longer notice and a proper goodbye letter. He also instantly lost all titles on the official forums, as Girasol did, and unlike Artasi who's still "Former CM" on the old forums. So I think it's fairly safe to assume that he either rage-quit or was rage-fired for taking the players' side over Nexon's one time too many. That's why I think they'll never again hire anyone who cares. Which means all we'd ever hear will be smarmy lies.

Oh well. Nexon continues their tradition of chewing up and spitting out CMs. What else is new?

I'm grateful for all the people I've been able to meet, talk to, and befriend over the past year working as MapleStory's CM. Even though I'm no longer working at Nexon, I'll always be available as a friendly face and as someone you can laugh and hang out with. I will miss working for you, but this isn't the last we'll ever see each other. It's just bye for now :^)

And as always -- Happy Mapling,

This indeed was a serious blow to the Maple community. I hope our next CM will be just as good with the community as KTBN was. We do not know the whole story as to the reason behind his release, but we will all miss him as our CM. This begs the question, Would anyone want to be a CM? It seems like it is a big responsibility dealing with the Maplers and their ever-demanding needs. I just hope Nexon doesn't give up on interacting with the players, because we need to know if they care about the players who play their game, and not only care about their money they invest into the game. We need a good balance between Maplers and Big-Wig-Big-Cheese-Nexon.
I guess we all just have to wait and see what the future will bring. <3
