Said agency has not gone through any job companies posting new positions to fill in those of the staff that left. Same agency hooks up other publishers with talent. If you don't see this agency list something for Nexon, you can easily and safely bet they haven't hired new people in the programming dept. It's the norm in this industry, if you follow it. Which I do.
I'm glad you didn't say "well maybe nexon hired people without going through an agency", because that would make you the laughing stock of this thread.
I see. So, umm.. I guess my predictions were right. I knew there must've been something wrong, seeing how the latest quests have had an horrible storyline and how they've been often using recycled stuff in their "exclusive content" (for example, the maps where you have to go to complete stage 1, like the map with recycled kerning subway objects, the mine, and.. *sigh* Episode 1).
Since the mobs of the Visitors event are listed after the Thai exclusive ones, the strings are in the "thai" folder, and the maps are under Continent 5, which is the continent of Thai exclusive stuff, I will also assume that Nexon America teamed up with the ThaiMS development stuff to make this (especially for things like new maps without re-used objects, etc.).
In a few words: the Visitors event doesn't mean anything, and they probably even had to team up with another company to make all that new stuff, because they didn't have the right people in their staff to do it themselves.
Rayhovite sounds like he has experience with this stuff, and he just proves many people's doubts right. Well, that's if you want to believe him on his word, which I guess I'll do.
