If You Controlled Nexon For A Year
What would you do?
I'd go to the Maple Story department and hire people to actually ban hackers. I would make sure that the GMs would check the FMs for illicit items.
I would call for a complete overhaul in the security of this game.
Realistically, if you're going to take over a company for a year you'd take some classes to educate yourself on that field. LolCKlol

Sell all my stocks on the first day
/I would also take your problems and push them somewhere else./
[quote=MapleScrub]I'd put people from Korea in charge, cause it looks like they know what they're doing[/quote]
They completely know what they're doing, which is why they don't trust the NA team to handle the game code.
All patches and fixes are handled by them, also why fixes take so long to come to GMS (KMS fixes it, sends back over to GMS, translates).
Banning hackers is a temporary and stupid solution. It's a waste of what little manpower the NA team has (Which could be used for answering tickets, and we already know how little they do that), and it's terribly easy to make a new account and get a new IP.
Like what the Romans did to avoid their crisis, giving out bread and putting on circuses. It keeps the population happy, except for when everything suddenly comes crashing down to a halt.

OT: Get rid of the trash in Gacha, separate it back into the mount/nebulite/chair, but keep a generalized pool for the normal gacha (Mastery Books, All class equips, Potions only)
And Perma-NX event for a year, where you paid double the normal price of an NX item to get a permanent version. And bring back 1 limited time set for a month, or several during a month over the course of a year. Them hipsters will hate my guts.
*I'd still get people to ban the extreme game abusers, but a flying bot in some map nobody ever trains on can wait.

[quote=Quazel]I would delete Maplestory, Maginobi, Dragons Nest, Atlantica, and keep Sudden Attack and Combat Arms [/quote]
Combat Arms? The game where the Elite Moderator rage kicks you and claims that you are hacking, all because you killed him? Oh, yes, that one.
My first priority would be to release red panda pet to GMS. <3
and make BM's and MM's super OP. everything else will stay the same.
actually. first thing I would do is update the rankings on their website (the photos at least..)
I'd add 10 additional channels to Scania and other over populated worlds, if possible.
I'd make sure [i]every damn ticket gets answered.[/i]
Even those that are from YEARS ago.
I'd also buy an awesome snack machine.
Make myself godly ._.
[quote=xidamex]so what would be left?[/quote]
2 FPS games when only 1 is needed.
Remove all of the over-powered classes and expand the experience time-table.
Make the game a little hard and remove all illicit items.
I'd actually hire people who ban hackers, and improve the security of this game.
[quote=heero]the cash shop remains. it's just an additional $10 fee.
i'd probably make cash items perm though, like KMS. i'd also have a "refer a friend" event, to try to get new blood in this game. almost all players in MS have been playing since at least pre-chaos.[/quote]
I actually really like your idea. As a costumer, I approve.
[quote=2009champion]I would sell everyone's items for real life money ASAP, then just delete everyone's accounts and see the noobs try to spend their money to return to their former glory.[/quote]
Sadly, in terms of the ToS you'd be legit. Bad press though.
I would delete Maplestory, Maginobi, Dragons Nest, Atlantica, and keep Sudden Attack and Combat Arms
[quote=heero]update security, update contract to say that i can sue hackers for bout $5,000 and actually enforce it. rework the "report" system. maybe have a 5-10 second clip of the person reported to analyze, as well as temporary bans based on reports per day.
make maple pay-to-play, $10 one-time fee for an account.
update maps, pq's, and create another race type (5 branches, 2-3 jobs for each)
hire more GM's, and generally have better customer service. create a market analysis department to gather more player feedback, and give more weight to player input.
delete all mesos in the game to reset the economy <-most important[/quote]
Maple should become p2p. There would be a low population of hackers.

You had me 'till the last part. I can understand when the mesos are gained maliciously.
[quote=DirtyLilUnique]Nothing. Because i'm in no right to operate a multi-million company. The company would most likely go bankrupt. Why do you always assume Nexon only has one game that is maplestory? If you're in control of Nexon. You also have to care for the other games. Making maplestory your priority is silly.[/quote]
Don't be silly. If I were head honcho overseeing one project I'd hire people to take over other departments of games. It's obvious that I wouldn't let the other games fall while I spit-shine another. That's just bad business.

True that but isn't Maplestory like half of their profit?
Read support tickets.
I would gift Tyrant equips for all the users
Do I get to keep part of the profits? If so, absolutely nothing. They're profitable. Why change things and screw that up?
ban everyone then quit and go play a other MMO
Bring back heny hunting ground and bob. i liked bob.
shut down the game
