New Beginnings - An Open Letter to Our Community

We've heard "open letters" like these before, and while they've done a good job satisfying us with content, I doubt the real issue, the hackers, will be taken care of for a long, long time. This voluntary hacker hunter thing does sound somewhat promising, but I can easily foresee the problems and abuse that will come with it. I mean, think about it..

>_> Most games don't have as big of a hacker problem as MS has had in the past. So it is kind of hard to tell if they are going to want the Deps to patrol or not

In most games, you can't sign up a free account, wander into the FM, and spam for your "seling meso www@mes0fr33.c0m". Wander around the countryside using hacks in high level dungeons, grind for money in profitable areas, etc..


WoW does have free trial accounts, but they are unable to trade items, unable to talk in public chat, unable to initiate whisper conversations (other person has to chat first), and I believe they're level limited at 20. That kinda cuts down on the "register a new account if you get banned" attitude that's pretty common in MS.


I do think some sort of fee for 2nd or 3rd job would be a reasonable way to take care of some problems with MS. With MTS, game cards, paypal, and so on, it's not exactly difficult to get NX anymore. For that matter, they could make it so elder players can pass on "job advance coupons" by gifting mechanism, so if you have friends you can do it that way.

I remember stating this to Lloyd about the hacker problem:

"Kinda sad, the hacker problem, isn't it? I mean, with how technically minded this generation is plus a free game plus the amount of free time some kids have, it's asking for trouble. If only it weren't so."

YES, YES, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY... THEY FINALLY LISTENED TO MEEEEEE!!!!!!!

THANK YOU NEXON, THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU'RE THE BEST COMPANY EVER!!

Really, after that, I won't be insulting NEXON anymore, ever. They can do anything, bring a lot of bugs, I don't really care anymore.

For those who still didn't know, since the closure of Tespia, I've been posting on NEXON Forums about it.. I've wrote EVERYTHING to try to convince them to open it again... I know it will help for the bugs if they choose the right testers. And Tespia.. well, it's been my best MapleStory experience so far. Private Servers? Blah.. who cares about them. As NEXON said they should just be boycotted. Tespia is 100x++ better than Private Servers because those are official servers and everything works unlike them. Also, the great feeling you have when testing new contents and "helping" NEXON fix bugs... that's wonderful.

So yeah.. I almost fainted when I read that, seriously. I-can't-believe-it. Call me nerd or whatever, but I'm SOOO happy to know they will open Tespia again. Really.

Also, they even listened me about my suggestion "if someone reports many bugs he/she gets choosen again, and if he/she sends fake/useless reports he/she doesn't get in Tespia again".. That's just great!!

I thought it was impossible, but yeah, after many posts from me, I convinced them to open Tespia again. If we'll get Tespia again, it'll be thanks to me... maybe. Well, just go read the feedback thread at 15th page and you'll see my post. After that, they decided to open it again with the suggestion I gave about only choosing again people who reported legit bugs. They just followed everything I said there! Wow, they started listening to their customers, finally.

ClawOfBeta.. he really liked Tespia.. he'll be happy seeing this. I hope. I really hope he'll be able to play on Tespia. =)



Oh yeah, they probably listened to us.

I've suggested many times to bring back Tespia, and maybe they finally listened me.. and you.. and everyone who wants Tespia back.

Thanks for supporting me and everyone who wants Tespia back by sending a feedback ticket.

Mmm...Tespia.

Took me a while to catch this.

Suppose I should start being active...even though I already did come back...heh.

Not coming back until things happen. Nexon has said lots and accomplished little before.

Mmm...Tespia.

Took me a while to catch this.

Suppose I should start being active...even though I already did come back...heh.

Yeah, you should. Even if it's probably useless, maybe it's time to start checking http://maplestoryt.nexon.net/ again for updates.. lolol.
