What happened to Nexon?

The problem lies in Wizet. If NEXON never came around Maple would not exist. Wizet was the original makers of the game and gave it to NEXON as a saving grace. Honestly I think you're right NEXON didn't know when they took over Wizet that it would be this popular. I wonder how hard it would be to recode the game without losing so much..

While Nexon and Wizet were originally seperate companies, They have now become one company that publishes Maplestory. Most employees that were with Wizet now work at Nexon, Essentially its still the same people working on the game. They are not seperate entities anymore.
