Then there are the times when the content we plan to add ends up never being created

Masteria expansions after CWKPQ and remaining quests

I kept thinking masteria on that first part of it.

Then there are the times when the content we plan to add ends up never being created, or is significantly changed, or goes through an abrupt revision because of something outside of our control. Perhaps a key member of the programming team leaves

I think we've effectively established what Eurydice meant, no need to keep saying the same thing over and over.

Masteria has been long dead. I don't understand why some people even kept hoping for it.

I also have to point out that, although it is not proof, the fact that TMS implemented the event before GMS is evidence that TMS produced the content..

GMS released and announced the Visitor Event before THMS.

Thailand MS definitly released the event released before GMS. I and many other people remember following their announcements beause they where constantly 1 step ahead of us in the event.

GMS released it in Tespia before TMS announced it at all.

The first part makes it sound as if the company is getting rather bureaucratic. No wonder it takes them months to deal with issues.
Also it seems like they have problems with employee turnover. If the management treats the employees half as badly as they do the customers, this would not be surprising. As far as interacting with players/customers, Nexon acts more like some thoughtless, compassionless, hard-nosed government agency than a game company. Imagine what it would be like to work for such people. Not a pleasant thought.

I have to say that I agree with your statement, and although I dont know if nexon is unfriendly to their employees or not, but many businesses with terrible managers tend to provide overall terrible service.

And with the Visitor event.

on August 18 to begin your induction process and the multi-stage plan to reclaim Maple World from the Visitors!

Region 1 release date of 11 to 18 August for the region will continue to be how it โปรดติดตามตอนต่อไป?! Please follow the next part?!

Google Translations isn't the best method of translating, but it is obvious that the visitor event was on their servers first.

And I cant say that GMST is even a factor worth mentioning. A 3 day test? Almost every glitch on GMST was on the main server, and on top of that Part 2 started early because our version of the event was coded for GMST and not GMS. It was just a complete joke.

Edit: I should also mention that because it was openly tested (even if it was clearly just a show and not a serious test) GMS doesnt mean it was produced by the GMS team. We had Tespia open for the Big Bang, but the GMS team didnt develop that (in spite of them pretending they did in their blogs).

Masteria has been long dead. I don't understand why some people even kept hoping for it.

We can dream can't we? Crazy pomegranate has happened before and it could happen again. For all we know prose could runback in and ask for his job back. Or someone like us who had a deep rooted love for Masteria could run in and take over the project, OR they could hold an essay contest for the players OR they could slap some pomegranate together hope its good OR they could do a number of things 0.o. As highly and almost irrationally it would be to think stuff like that could happen nothings out of par. Crazier pomegranate has been known to happen in MS.

No surprise here that the answers to the 3rd question are all NX items. Just re-affirms how money-hungry Nexon is.

Or maybe they are NX items because the question was:

You're stranded alone on a desert island (think Florina Beach with the conditions of the Nihal Desert). Which three Cash Shop items would you take with you, if you had the choice, and why?

http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php...=fire+tusk This, from the sound of things there was quite a bit of imagination put into the masteria project and what we have now only scraches the surface, does nexon only have ONE developer team working on changing content from other versions full time? I'm hoping nexon has more teams working on different ideas for global.

Since they , in their own words, "cleaned up the code to make it better and more efficient" then adding in the complete world tour areas would be a fantastic idea and not just a sample of the zone like golden temple, Masteria could be worked on with the new coding, the monsters would be better than ever AND lots of room for expansion if they made sure there was a good storyline to go with all of the content in new leaf city, as well as a whole new world in the form of versal, sort of like an inverse victoria island for REALLY high levels, and for gosh sakes give meaning to those tombstones in bigger ben!

You guys need to be in the habit of blaming NexonNA, not Nexon as a whole, because I believe Nexon as a whole ain't that bad of a company at all. It's just NexonNA that's the money-hungry one (with MapleStory).

c wut i did thar?

Back on topic, at least it's nice to hear something from the devs rather than nothing at all.

What I got from that is prose opening up to the community and saying "SHUT UP IT'LL BE HERE WHEN IT'S HERE!" And obviously alluding to the fact that it's no where near easy to make content like that.

And I cant say that GMST is even a factor worth mentioning.

It doesn't really matter if it is worth mentioning or not, the fact remains that GMS had the Visitor Event first even if it was only in GMST and not the official version. Who designed it can't really be debated because the players wouldn't truly know in the first place. For all we know both GMS and THMS worked on it together since the times they released it were basically side by side.

Actually, all versions of MapleStory across the globe are money hungry and greedy. KMS most of all solely because of potential.

Personally I think we know nothing, and my entire point has been that I have reasons to doubt Nexon's statements and I believe it is never a good idea to just accept what Nexon (or actually any business or organization) says without any evidence or proof.

Technically, all businesses are greedy, but its only a bad thing when they go so far that they they being treating consumers like cattle and not people.

And they treat us like cattle how?

I can say that I dont feel like I'm being treated as a human, and I do feel like they are trying to milk me for all I'm worth.

No their treating you like sheep. sheep are stupid. They follow whatever the shepard does or says. If the shepard jumps off a cliff they will too. NEXON is treating you like Sheep. They tell you buy this and you do. Whatever NEXON says people will do. Don't believe me? Just look at the forums and anytime they post NX deals. People rush it.
