No idea what you're referring too but I do know maplestory merchandise is sold, to like, 8 year olds. Unless you're talking about fan art which is by no means driven by the story but rather the chibi art.

If they were to do that, there would be too much of a distance between maplers, making it hard for unison to exist in multi-server areas. I find it great that GMS keeps things like they are because I signed up for and it allows me to make friends all over the world because of it.
By "one server" you mean regions right? Otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm sorry but the only reason KMS even gets mentioned so much is because they get content before us, we aren't sitting here discussing the politics and the "warm happy sunshine" carebear friendship with them. KMS has lost its audience in almost 5 different regions. I mean look at MSEA's population, it's less than 5 thousand players, and iirc TWO of regions closed down/merged, and EMS/GMS are barely on the line.
All of these servers had one problem, packet editing, but why did KMS get rid of it so quickly, because they have such a strict superior banning system than other regions. Just so you know, anytime a player who has any sort of legitimate chance, is ever banned, by nexon America, nexon korea bi`tches them out. You have a top heavy CEO company who puts customer satisfaction second to almost everything else. Everyone complains about how the community manager not doing enough, do you know why? Because her communication between us and them is worthless. They don't listen, they have no real understanding of the game, the ones who bark orders arrogantly just demand supreme NX content is available, that any freebies will be minimal. You do realize the next nexon CEO is some crackpot who thinks that the decline in maplestory popularity, is because it's not available on your cell phone, right?
You may as well be comparing two different worlds, but nexon is so distant from the wants of the many to invest everything into the wants of the few. The only people keeping that game afloat are the last big spenders, the last hackers, and whoever just can't let go unfortunately. It's an unhealthy and retarded business model to keep that small minority hooked, the bossing minority by the way, not the story minority. We can start digging into the reputation of maplestory to further prove my point if you want.
