Well, this is a service they should have been providing all along.
That they needed to see a fansite doing it (and others stealing it), and to fail to block those status checkers, before putting one up themselves, is shameful.
You might recall that at some point they tried to create a database, and guides, but those were apparently too much work. I believe even their forum came into being long after Sleepywood and Basil.
Ah well. I suppose it's better for the users that Nexon do this, more up-to-date and not subject to random network errors. (Assuming it does update automatically in real-time, unlike their "game up/down" website indicators that are manually updated). Too bad their page loads so very slowly, and lacks history.
Sucks that this might steal Southperry's traffic.
