If it weren't for players coming together to try and revive this into an actual game, none of that would have happened. Besides, the pressure of competition is good for Nexon, because now players have options that don't cost them an entire month's paycheck to succeed at.
Also, what else is there to talk about? I mean, updates are nice, and there's always something to discuss whenever either our version or KMS updates. However, those discussions are often times just as pointless, given that almost everything GMS gets is old since it's already out in another version, we can't alter it or have any real imput since our version doesn't create or modify classes, and KMS probably doesn't listen to us since we're chatting in english and we don't play their version anyway. So instead, we're left discussing what Nexon's doing wrong, seeing as how that's really the only topic left between major updates.
Sadly, if you look on sites other than Southperry, players are far less eloquent than they are here. Discussions on Southperry are intelligent and mature, but sadly sites like the official GMS forums are a mess of illiteracy, immaturity, and complaining. Although Nexon does visit Southperry, having that sort of behavior in your own backyard could explain the hesitation on their part.
Other than the fact that [MENTION=2054]Eos[/MENTION]; would not allow Southperry to turn into another Basil Market or GMS Forums, the methods many other players are using are ineffective and careless. In the back of my mind I have always felt that part of the reason why Nexon can get away with treating their customers so poorly is because the coherency of tickets and forum posts is astoundingly poor. When you have some fourteen year old kid typing in "IM speak" and cursing at you, well, I'm sure most of us wouldn't be too inclined to expedite their ticket. The crappy part is that the rest of us get a bad rap as a result, and people who actually have real issues are maybe glossed over. It's just a theory, but when you're dealing with children and teenagers on a large scale, as opposed to adults (although many adults, young and old, do play MapleStory) you can kind of justify it to a certain degree.
That being said we've all been there before, that age of course, so it's easy to blame it on immaturity. MapleStory has always had an air of immaturity, regardless of age (*cough* Sleepywood.net *cough* Adura *cough*), but I could see why looking at thousands of tickets full of screaming, hormone driven, teenagers might appear more than daunting.
