@ King - "if nexon don't make money the game will not go on..."
"There was an LA Times article that showed them making record profits in the middle of a recession or something..."
"so u r suggesting that they should only make profit when they are going to be bankdrupt?"
I fail to see your argument. What are you trying to say? Was it necessary to make the skill books CS only? Obviously they SHOULDN'T ONLY MAKE MONEY when they are on the verge of bankruptcy, but do you not understand that it has been this way since 2x came out? Do you really think they make SOOOOO little that they can't even release skill books normally? This isn't something like 2x drop/xp, this is a NECESSARY skill to survive. You will be unable to get this class to a higher level without that skill.
Also, do you not understand how business works? If they released the glasses and Evans the way they should have, they would have made MORE money from people buying 2x cards. Right now I'm level 43, about rank 2000. It's like 7 bucks to get all the CS skills. 7 x 2000 = 14,000. Now if it was released the way it should have been, more people would have bought 2x for glasses, there would be more people playing Evans and BUYING 2x. This would work well mainly because they are only giving us a month to get the scrolls. Add in PSOK + the ability to get 7atk glasses. I'm sure many people would try hard buying 60 dollars worth of 2x and even more just for PSOK. If you really think this is their "way to survive" then...Either way, Nexon is doing it wrong.
tl;dr
what's ur point???
so you want nexon to release psok and make even more money? I thought you are against Nexon to make ANY money off from players...
And FYI I am a casual player that plays for fun only so I never buy the monthly 2x because I rarely grind...
btw i think the reason that nexon nerfed the chance on the glass scrolls that u get from level ups is to make the game more balanced instead of giving every hardcore grinder 7 atk glasses
Devil Wrote:Funny thing is that WoW costs $13,- per month to play, aka 13k NX in maple terms...
The only thing you get for 13k NX per month in maple is a 30 day 2x exp card...
And then you don't even have any:
- Pets
- Pet accessories
- Gachapon gambling for -better then normal- items/scrolls
- Epic items that ONLY drop from bosses instead of -even better then epic- items/scrolls, coming out of a gambling machine
- Non-ugly basic clothes
- 24/7 Helpdesk support
- Non-automated Helpdesk replies
- Balanced gameplay
- Balanced classes
and now also...
- Classes that can be fully played without buying in-game skills with real money...
That's the problem when you compare games like WoW vs Maple... The "pay-to-play" games are better and cheaper...
Add to that that Nexon is (as stated in several interviews with / reviews of the company) making a lot of profit as the game used to be...
So the only reason they added NX-skills is to even -MORE- money then they're already getting... smacking their loyal customers/players in the face...
I think Nexon it would be a good idea of the CEO of Nexon America went back to college and took some economy classes about "Goodwill", because obviously he skipped some classes there in the past...
But ok, true, I got my 30HP/MP 5 slot Dragon Classes totally for free, to use with my Blood Shad / Blood NW... Yay even more HP!!!
Still, looking to maple as a whole... I think Nexon should watch it's steps... Think about it... would you start playing maple as a new players if you realized all new -better then the original- classes would become partly pay-to-play? I don't know if I would... but probably not...
Anyway, back to Battlefield - Bad Company 2 @ XBL!
you need to buy mounts and pets in WoW too for real life money in addition to subscription fee
and I don't see how you are forced to pay 13k NX per month to play maple...I've been playing this game for 3 years and I never paid a cent of RL money, yet at certain point i had more than 200k NX cash prepaid...this means that it is perfectly possible to enjoy the game without paying anything
like cyan said, with MTS, NX and Meso can be interconverted easily and in the end they are just 2 forms of in game currency, each currency has its pros and cons that's why merchants constantly interconvert them
