My only thought is that it might have to do with money. JMS may not be as popular as it used to be, but it still net them a ton of cash, way more than GMS did if I remember that annual report correctly. Granted, they dug their own grave with allowing hackers to flourish so long, but it doesn't change the fact that at this point, they simply do not make enough money...and if you were a businessman, which would you greenlight? The Exclusive Content for a version that's still netting them plenty of cash, or one that appears to be dying compared to what they (probably) used to make off of? Why would they invest the time and energy when it doesn't seem like the reward would be worth in when speaking in terms of cold hard cash.
More money? o_O I mean, Nexon basically makes every single form of new content NX related nowadays anyway, why not just invest a little bit more time an effort and attract the older players and new players all at once? That's what JMS' thing does. And if the popular version gets it too, who's to say that they wouldn't make as much money? If anything, they'd probably make MORE money by giving the popular version better content just by the default of having more players who want to buy NX items. I suppose it is Nexon's business model to spread out their NX collection rather than concentrate it. Then that must mean that JMS makes them just enough money that they can't drop it. Still sad that we can't even get a single shred of awesome content. All we're doing (and have been doing) is following KMS updates with nothing that would pique an old player's interest beyond "I need this to make my main character stronger".
