It's clearly a horrible idea, and i'd be willing to bet they did not and will not make enough money to justify continuing (yeah, i'm taking a play from your book sarah).
Neo tokyo on the other hand would have made them a truckload more cash. You should agree with that at least. Invigorating the high level community with TONS of fun s'hit to do is an awesome reason to go with neo tokyo over neo city. Does it matter if an extremely low % of people will use the place? Not when literally every single one of them PAYS NEXON'S BILLS.
Doubt their drive to expand on the limitless potential of a post-apocalyptic maple world? I don't at all. There's so much that they could add that could potentially be better (both in terms of access and balance) than what Neo Tokyo offers. If I were a Nexon writer I would be pitching so many ideas for Terra Forest expansions that faces would melt, and I'd be hard pressed to believe that at least one of their writers is just as interested in the idea as I am. The fact that it's accessible through Leafre alone gives me hope that it will eventually be expanded upon as a high level area. It wasn't just shoved into the back corner of Ellinia or something like it could have been.
The money they could have made would only be made from idiots buying AP resets. Nexon Korea isn't really a branch that shakes down their players as much as Nexon America does, and that's why it was of little concern to them. There's very little they can do with any area that is going to invigorate people to SPEND SPEND SPEND. I know that if I were given the JMS Neo Tokyo pre-requesites for getting in, then I would never go. Both of their options are completely retarded. It would've been way to risky to make an area that is only accessible through MONTHS OF HARD WORK or paying real money for no real pay off like Neo Tokyo provides.
You're letting your feelings about how cool you think Neo Tokyo would be get in the way of obvious objectivity. Nexon Korea doesn't want to keep creating areas that only small portions of players can experience without being frustrated to hell. Even if the areas aren't the best, at least they're still usable. Neo Tokyo is horribly unbalanced and difficult to use, especially for archers. That wouldn't be a fair update, especially if they are considering expanding it. That would just create more areas that are inaccessible to the ranged.
