Got accepted to Nexon focus group 2/21 <-- Note This Is In The Past

You're seeing what you want to see then. Lag isn't something that causes an inconvinience, it can completely destroy your gameplay. Looting, which leads to money, which leads to efficiency will be greatly affected. "overall better user experience", that was after an and thus being a seperate idea/bullet what have you. So you are talking about, I assume community/bossing which most players wouldn't be able to take part in, probably be attacked in. So the community overall would not be better, you'd be weaker than you would be in the GMS version, and wouldn't be able to communicate like the GMS version which was my and everyone else's point. Lag is just another subject all together.

I believe you have 500 ms delay from looting confused with game-crippling lag. It only affects looting (solved by buying a pet, which the majority of people do in gMS and kMS do) and potting (also solved by buying a pet, but it's not so bad manually as looting is).

And being weaker is fine with me, and most other people, but we're not so weak that we can't do major bosses.

This isn't directed at you but it seems a lot of KMS players live in this fantasy that their version is some form of Utopia and it's as if you try to cross examine the regions, like as if, only the KMS version is the only working maplestory version. It's rather ridiculous considering it was KMS that broke the game with these ridiculous cubes, it's kms that seems to be holding the other versions hostage, and it's kms that receives the biggest reppercussions if ever hacked into. Most of the complains that gms vs kms has is "permanent NX", "better community" and well that's all I really see nowadays. The thing is though, the nx that's permanent is for stupid things such as clothes, the real pocket cleaners are cubes, protection scrolls and smega's. Those are used items so that point is moot, and things like perma pets are abused anyway. This leads to the community difference which frankly is based on culture. Are you going to tell me Korea's culture is better than ours? Good luck with that.

The pet debate is valid, because the difference between pets in kMS is that you only have to buy the water of life to restore your pet, versus having to buy meso magnet, item pouch, dragon scales, binoculars, auto-hp, auto-mp and all the other things every 90 days.

Culture isn't really the main factor in making the kMS community more fun, it's the language barrier. It's actually beneficial. Whenever you have people who are separated by a language barrier, the people who all speak the same language (english in this case) bond better and trust each other more. We lend each other equips, charge NX for each other whenever someone hits the buying limit, sell each other nx, etc. You could find the exact same thing being in a close-knit guild/alliance in gMS. We just have a permanent one

I never said our community was better. I just said our servers are more stable, and we don't have the issue of duping.
