Asiasoft decided not to extend their license. The Mechanic patch since last June will be the last patch.
Here's the conclusion:
Asiasoft would like to extend the license at first, but there are conditions:
1. GUI must be changed from Thai to English, entirely.
2. Every single players must have their data deleted and therefore have to restart anew.
3. Price of Cash Items must be changed to be equal with every other server. IIRC some are lower and others are higher than the other server already.
Asiasoft couldn't take that.
Welp, I should give my Corsair a goodbye.
Schedule:
4th April 12.00: Money-filling system closed
29th June 12.00: Everything else closed.

Would you really want it renewed when they haven't updated in almost a year? What exactly would change?

They announced it to be closing quite some time ago actually, so it's most likely real.

Quick, buy NX today so that GMS doesn't close, too!
Jokes apart, it's kinda sad to see how many localized versions of MapleStory have been closing lately. I hope GMS will not end up doing the same for a very, very long time.

Hong Kong MS didn't close down. They merged with Taiwan MS.

I'm actually wondering how they converse properly in game.
Especially when they're using the same words for different language.

I believe that there's one server for Hong Kong MS players, and the others for TaiwanMS. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

The only difference between their language is that they pronounce words differently, they both use the same words with the same meanings. So unless they do voice chat, they can understand each other in writings.

Was there ever any explanation to either of these requirements? They're absolutely baffling.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

The f'uck? GMS is obviously not closing any time soon but why hoping it never happens? It needs of a change, it needs of Nexon to stop making the game so money hungry while improving the quality of their service and things already in game. Right now, not just nothing of this is happening but it is getting worse by the patches, so if it wont ever change it may as well shut down already.
