And maybe hire some people who actually play MapleStory on a regular basis. I would work for Nexon for minimum wage if it meant telling them what the hell is wrong with their own game. What on earth are they even doing over there? Don't they get 90% of the updates from Korea and just translate them to English... fix a few things and whatnot?
Most of Nexon America is focused on Marketing / other ventures (ex. social games, etc.) with obviously a team that handles the technical upkeep of servers.
I don't believe there are any (or a VERY limited number) of development personnel in America.
Obviously, Nexon's structure hinders their progress. But this is the structure they've chosen, and there's not too much we can do about that. Sending everything to Korea elongates the process of fixing bugs / major crises. And you are correct, there is a limited number of knowledgeable personnel in that American office. In my opinion, this hurts them, but once again - the $$$ is still coming in...
