The main reason Korea Maplestory is more popular than Global Maplestory

I think personally it's just enough with the daily quests. There are way too many to do, they can do their V care all they want the problem is the time it takes to complete a symbol like Vanishing Journey,Esfera and Morass, nearly a year. The bare minimum should be 10 symbols per day. It's tiring with maplestory cause it's more than ever a second job just to remain relevant to boss or train efficiently.

It just feels like Nexon as a company is going towards Mobile markets at a near 80% focus. They just acquire more and more mobile developers and their desktop games for the most part flop or get sold off when they aren't profitable anymore. Atlantica got sold off, DFO got sold off, it'll be a year before Tango 5 Reloaded, Riders of Icarus, Hyper Universe and Duel of Summoners are just removed from the nexon launcher. Nexon's problem is they can't find the niche and their reputation is so stained in the North American market that recovering from that is going to take serious work.

Seriously the list of games nexon attempted to release in the NA region is astounding.

Poptag, Kartrider, Duel of Summoners flopped hard in Korea and is closed(closing Nov 1. Global), DFO, Dragon Nest, Lawbreakers, Sudden Attack, Vindictus is closing/closed in Japan. The list is only going to continue to grow.

Tango 5 Reloaded had no interest and won't fully release, so says their developer post.

I agree man, i think you got something i didn't know, the focus on mobile, but did they replace the desktop workers for mobile? Seens really dumb considering it's diferent games for diferent system, yes cell phones are getting better, but will never be like PCs.


Daily quests is terrible for me, a mission should be more remembered, specially bosses that now we kill in 1hit to do dailyes or something like that, in pre-bb even noob bosses were still somewhat special since you would't go to kill em every single day
Since mobile gets far more money, and N$xon wants money, no reason to stay and grow the desktop.....i guess we wil need to wait some other company to get maple in GMS or i don't know, KMS is really full so no way it will change.

Aside from the fact that dailyes can use so much time that seens people don't play the game anymore...
