The place from where nexon takes ideas for new pets

i was surfing the gm blog, and found this:
http://maplestory.nexon.net/Modules/Foru...e=0&type=1

this is an over 3 years old post about the upcoming release of pets. the gms asked what kind of pets would people like to see. now look at the first few suggestions: panda, frog, robot, flying pig, husky, crimson balrog. we have all these in game...

now i understand where nexon are taking their ideas from.

Haha that's actually pretty funny.

Not really.

Panda/Husky/Pig/Elephant/Monkey/Kargo were all in KMS before this.

GMS didn't come up with the flying pig.

CMS did, for Chinese New Year- Year of the Pig

Only pets GMS came up with are

-Duck
-Crystal Rudolf
-Porcupine
-Skunk
-Blue Husky
-Black Bunny
-Orange Tiger

Unsure-
-Snowman
-Turkey
-Jr Balrog
-Robot
- Jr. Reaper

Not sure if we, or KMS came up with the Pets listed in "unsure"

I'm pretty sure GMS came out with the Turkey and Jr. Reaper first.

"I think we should have Pandas. Why do I think pands should be in Maple Story? This is because pandsa are gradually dying... (Endangered). If we have panda as a pet in Maple story, maybe people will start to realise the importance of the endangered animals around the world! Please vote pandas, as they are cute animals which need loving."

This is my favorite post.

Robot is from kMS or jMS, I know for a fact that it was in MSEA because I played MSEA.

if you also look, you'll see on the second page someone said Chinese Zodiac pets would be good for MapleSea, and now look at the Zodiac type animals =P

Duck Pet.

It was announced April 2008.

4 months till April 2009.

A little late Nexon? Srsly.

Well, you have to note, if kids can think of it, I think Nexon Empolyees can too. :/
Coincidences do happen. :O

I thought the Duck was more recent, like this past fall. :f6:

Also, concept art -> production -> implementing in game. It probably hit a snag with something like copyright. :/

or they forgot about it. Back then they did not announce relesing it, they just said who won. So wait moar.

I can see it now...

Crap... how can we get our copyright on this image...? Can't let the artist use it. D:<

I posted on that blog long ago far away. I think I asked for a panda and an elephant. I'm still waiting for my elephant.

I can see it now...

im about 99% sure that if nexon copyrights the image before the artist does, they get the copyrights. im also sure that the eula for these art events say that nexon owns all copyrights for images sent to them.

I doubt it. I'm sure there was all kinds of legalese involving the transfer of rights.

You don't need to apply for a copyright. The copyright simply exists as soon as the work is created.
