Why does Nexon hate North American players?
Comments
Nope, it didn't. I tested it as soon as the update came out, and then a few days afterward. I got the same message as always and no takeoff. You can imagine what my reaction was to this disappointing finding. (It went something like this: Aw, come on! I wanna fly my sparkle pony over Duncan's head! DX )
I meant for Korea
Yup, like I asked about what update in Korea did the flying in Tir/Dunbarton occur. Here's hoping we get it soon. =3
Ah, I must have misread. Yeah, I heard that the feature came to KR in the Giant update too. This, of course, is why I was so disappointed that we didn't get it with the Giant improvements. I really do hope that we get the fight update at least sometime before the Holiday Season...
Triple-posting is also against the rules.
No, they'd just spout the "we don't know durrrr" response they always give. How long have we been asking for bitfont? Years. How long have we asked for damn commas between numbers? Years. Asking and being polite has gotten us nowhere, which is why many of us have resorted to topics like this.
Stop looking through rose-colored glasses.
Maplestory used to be known as the game where "kids would steal their parents' credit cards to buy all those little pixels."
People will spend money they don't have for things.
Once again, remove the rose-colored glasses, and accept the bleak truth.
Which do you think wins?
Just a friendly reminder that this is a small, Korean MMO and not the government feeding us lies while slowly sending us to our death. No need to be so 'edgy'.
Reminds me.. my business teacher in high school always said that doing a business is about taking risks. Of course, I thought that was insane.
"What's the point when you can go through a less risky ideal and know what you are getting out of it?"
Now I know what he means. After seeing different businesses try new ideas in select states before expanding their ideas, and after reading what you said..
I agree with my teacher now. Business is all about taking risks, and Nexon should try it out. If it fails, oh well. More gachas?
I sound old in this reply. I just graduated this June. xD

And back seat moderating isn't appreciated either.
Back in the day it literally used to be just pixels and fashion for that game, so that scenario didn't happen too terribly often (or I would hope not). But now that the main servers pretty much have heavily implied paywalls in front mid/end game content it wouldn't surprise me if the susceptible kids are doing that . . .
What's up with you and red? I thought you wore green.
A small Korean MMO managed by a large and significant Korean company.
Pot calling the kettle black?
'tis true I wear green, but green-colored glasses.... not sure. Feel like they'd induce vomiting.
Not a lot of people will spend 300 dollars. You can't just expect people to pay so much when that's actually not the case. Majorily, most people won't waste something on a game when it can affect putting food on the table or how they get to work. It's not a logical or rational decision, and a lot of people aren't going to make that mistake economically.
Also, economically, you can't put a price on a life, so you can't put a specific price that everyone is going to buy 300 dollars worth of gachas. I actually only know a few people who will buy a lot of gachas, and they don't actually have to pay for the roof that's over their heads. However, others will buy those bags in shop, and then buy one or two more to give as a gift. Been there. Done that.
You bring up good points in your comments, but a lot of them seem rather rude. That's also not appreciated.
Selling 100 gachas every gacha to about ten people is more profitable than selling like 1-3 shopping bags.
I hear that most people drop hundreds of dollars every gacha in game because they don't get what they want.
Hell even i do it sometimes cause im broke in game.
But like you said i cant figure numbers for everyone. There could be people buying 300 gachas a gacha.
Or ten people per server buying 100 gachas. The only one that really knows is Nexon and clearly they're happy with their business model.
Plus if they did start going "only shopping bag route" You can really expect the bags to be like 20-50 each.
I don't think anyone is gonna fork over 150 dollars every two weeks to be nice to their friends. But even if they did its not of my business.
However, if they continued what they do with these current bags where everything is guaranteed for 20 something dollars, then heck yeah that would sell as if it were going out of stock.
And it is good for gifts. I've seen people get random things several times just for being a good friend. I've even done it myself, but of course it could just be a small group of people doing even though it's happened all over the game.
Key word being Korean. Just because it's big there doesn't mean it's as big here. Plus, you totally missed the point of my statement.
And? I really don't think that Nexon South Korea has any plans to try and feed their North American+European audience with...whatever it is people here seem to think they are feeding. Our market share is just too small compared to their end for the effort to even be remotely worth it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm out of popcorn...
*grabs more*
Continue please...
I've said this a few times when I thought about the math. Every single person would have to buy 3-5 shopping bags at $10 each to equal what I've seen 2-3 people say they spend on each server on gachas.
