Every version has their own little thing here and there that makes them more "rigged" compared to the others. No point in comparing and contrasting them too much, as we have no idea what is truly "exclusive" in the mind of Nexon. Now let's have this clear up before tempers start flaring.

That's right.
EMS has GM Scrolls in Public Mini Dungeons, Global has Nebulites, JapanMS has the Soul Weapons and the buffs that can double your damage and I think some versions of MS has 40+ attack weapon accessories. Each version has at least their own type of broken equipment.

The European branch of Nexon got a complete haul-over a few months ago, with close to all support and developing in Luxembourgh (not all of developing, but still) now instead of Korea, they made a (quite massive, I must say) exclusive content for EMS the last patch, they're still putting effort in making custom promo pages for the new patches.
There is absolutely no reason to think that EMS is almost dieing, except at most the hacking spree that went on a month or so ago. But that's like saying GMS is almost dead because you got massive duping and even had to remove lolWSs from the economy.
Could you please stop hating on versions you appearantly have no knowledge about? It starts to piss me off.
Bad comparison. Hacking accounts != having overpowered pomegranate. I'm not saying GMS having overpowered pomegranate is a good thing, but at least the hacking doesn't extend to most of the playerbase.
Since when was making "custom promo pages" of significance? Every version does that.
And yes, actually, GMS has declined. That's pretty damn obvious. But because of the population of users it is nowhere near dead.

EMS is doing great, loads of people around. Absolutely no sign of decaying community or playerbase.
Also Europe is actually doing even better then North America (Global).
6% of global revenue (JPY 1,701 million) came out of Europe
5% of global revenue (JPY 1,430 million) came out of North America
Link 3e quarter financial results
Article you linked Wrote:6% of global revenue (JPY 1,701 million) came out of Europe and other areas with the category declining 5% YoY.
Excuse me?

TMS had the 40+attack accessories IIRC. And I think that got shut down...?

OK. I legitimately thought they shut down because of goldsellers, although I guess that's not the case.

Oddly enough I didn't see any of these complaints while browsing the Maple Story tag on Tumblr. On the other hand it is supposed to be random and I saw all of two people there posting about Kaiser.

Here's their bug report forum.
There are rollbacks, hellbans, problems logging in, and other glitches EVERYWHERE.
Can't say this wasn't coming, guys.
The classic Body Boost bug is apparently there, where you can't put points into it.
[SPOILER=Then there's this]
The game can crash when climbing up or down ropes or ladders.
And duping. Oh God, the duping.
I rest my case.

I get the impression that even Fix-It Felix couldn't fix this, but that's what happens when crazy decisions are made to rearrange game content when even mostly copy-pasted patches can cause unexplained bugs! While nothing this bad has ever happened to MSEA we did have a period where Zen (Dragon Warriors) could not obtain any skill books at all from MMBs as the patch was directly taken from GMS and the data was plainly not put in.
Now I'm wondering if it's really the end for EMS after the disastrous patch that was Legends.

Jetts still don't get any books from MMBs. They might have at one time and they came from the coin shop, but if you were training yours now, hahahatoobad.

And here I thought they actually pulled it off, but I'm wondering how long they will let this last until they reverse it, THEN we can say something.

They've taken longer than 24 hours. And they refuse to bring the game down. I think that says plenty in itself.

I dont think anyone would be surprised at the amount and severity of the bugs with a patch that size. It all comes down to how quickly and effectively they can fix them. So far it doesn't seem like they are responding well.

I wonder if they'll decide not to roll back the game and just very slowly remove duped items...

They probably will. They've been doing that a lot.
