Every company has it's own work to do within itself, and things of a certain caliber don't change overnight - but with the right attitude change can happen. It's a much different world working for a developer as opposed to a publisher, so it's something to keep in mind when thinking about Nexon America.https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comm...ay/cyqaqgw
I left to pursue another opportunity, at a company that has always been my dream to work at - and that's where I am now, and I don't look back on Nexon America in any negative light. I continue to wish them and everyone there only the best.
The new CM is someone I have worked closely with in the past, and they will be focusing on getting up-to-speed so they can get to working with you guys!
I should be seeing them tomorrow, actually, so I can give them some good advice on their road into MapleStory.
I felt the need to comment since I've been seeing this spread around over the last month. Hope all of you guys are doing well!

While obviously he would not be badmouthing Nexon in public, there was no need for him to publicly defend them, either.
Not sure what to think about the new CM being someone he worked with in the past. On the one hand, it's good to have someone who is familiar with Nexon and maybe MapleStory itself. They're unlikely to have unreasonable expectations and get burned out or fired quickly. On the other hand, they'll have all the same preconceptions. But we'll see.

Girasol rage-quit. Hime and Artasi left to pursue better opportunities, as did MysteryMask (albeit still at Nexon). Aurtax is the only one who was fired, as far as I know.
