Was waiting for this. The 2x EXP card would be nice, but I wonder how long does it last.

Also, they currently have all their possible money-cows out. Are they having money issues or something?

For how strange that might sound, I can see no other reason a big company could let their main money-making and most popular game go like they've been doing in the past months. Maybe so many people are quitting that they're losing a lot of money and can't pay their GM staff enough to patrol the game? (remember that their GM staff also answers Customer Support tickets.. and I fear they might NOT have separate staff for the two duties)

It might be a vicious circle that in which MapleStory got itself into. Nexon started losing customers, therefore money, because of the hacking issue, and eventually they were not able to pay GMs enough to patrol the game for a sufficient amount of time to make it an hacker-free place. This leads to more hackers showing up and more frustrated people quitting, leading to Nexon losing more money and not being able to do anything. Eventually, since we all know there will always be some people buying NX, they'll only have enough money to keep the game running and to update it, so, even if I don't believe it will completely close anytime soon, it will still be left in a horrible state, and will be a place where hackers will have taken over, even more than they have right now. This is pretty negative as a prediction, but that's what I think COULD happen to the game.

I really don't want to think that a company is so careless about their customers to not WANT to care at all about them and leave the game in the state it is right now. That'd just be TOO stupid, even for them, as they lose money and their name will be associated to a horrible company more than ever.

They've also shown they can do a pretty good job with hackers when they can/want to. MWLBs seemed to help a little, and previously they used to monitor the game, surely more than they do right now (are they even doing it?). Now, it's back to 2 years ago, when the hackers made the game almost unplayable. I'm hoping it's just another bad era for MapleStory, and that it will end. Sooner or later.

Wishful thinking? Probably. Will this finally end or not? We'll see.

It's always been a era. I think there's nothing to worry about honestly. I mean sooner or later NEXON Korea will probably step in to clean things up. Or hell accounts may require something like a KSSN. Not exactly but you know.
