@Flonne:
I'd agree for making certain bosses a bit more challenging, but 10-30 hours to beat a boss? That's just nuts. There's a thing called sleep y'know. I agree to an extent with most of your other points though, especially better security, making it 100% server-sided, GMs.
On the topic of P2P. Yes, I think it should become P2P because that would:
1. at least fend off script-kiddies.. Or would it? I mean if it became P2P, if it's kept client-sided, the real hackers would still find some exploit to allow them to play for free. So it may or may not work depending on how well it's planned out. But I digress..
If every new account and character on that account costs a certain amount of real $ to make (to throw a number out there: 20 bucks for an account (5 chars with each new account) and 5-10 bucks for each character added to that account after the 5th one), you won't have dupers/etc. storing thousands of duped scrolls on thousands of mules.
2. and making it P2P means the company would be more legally responsible because real money is involved for everyone playing, not just a certain few. This is the main advantage for it to become P2P. More players paying real money = more chances for Nexon to legitimately get sued by said player when pomegranate hits the fan. So Nexon would have to seriously step up their service or suffer the consequences.
