General

But the problem is they're not communicating with the fanbase. It isn't the press of a button to fix issues, but it is to tell us what's going on.

GMS = North [b]AMERICA[/b] Me being an American who lives in New York, I can understand people want things done fast and good. Some people are too impatient, Coding is one hell of a job I respect Nexon.

Nicely said (:

I sit on the fence for the 'Nexon Sucks/Nexon Trys' fight.

They're obviously good enough, considering it's a free game and nobody HAS to ditch school/work/whatever else people have complained they didnt do JUST so they could get onto a laggy new-player filled area so they can try Kaiser.

BUT.. they could spare some money made to hire a few more people than can take the load off others/are more equipped for certain job/etc.

[quote=taimega2007]Okay I'm honestly sick of this whole "oh they make so much money they should hire more people". Have any of you even read their financial reports? Anyone? They're public. Why not search them up. Last year Nexon America recorded a net LOSS. That's right your "money grabbing" company actually spent more money than they made.[/quote]

a loss eh?

What amazes me is that they can find people willing to take that job. It's a thankless job; so much pressure from both your superiors and the player base of the game, and no one appreciates your work because the end result is all that matters.

@PcPls123: free game, etc.

[quote=FalconP]thats actually true, the majority of asian cultures really dont care about customer satisfaction or approval at least in restaurants.

But GMS is run by Nexon america, not by Nexon korea. So this game is actually run by americans.[/quote]

Kinda, some employees are american the higher ups in Nexon America are actually korean.

good read, now i have 0 sympathy for the higher-ups and a little sympathy for the people who actually work

is maplestory the only game ran by nexonNA ? cause mabinogi plays fine for me more often than maplestory. we gotta face that these games are getting old and maybe they are trying hard to put lipstick on a dead horse, but its still been done and done, and should be good at it. i do however, think that they are seriously undermanned in there, probably could easily take 2-4 more people to make it run more smoothly for MS

and how many people here know C++, Pearl, Python, A+, HTML coding, and pretty familiar with flash based games? if so, maybe send them a resume?

Don't qoute on this as I'm not 100% sure but from what I heard korean nexon and america nexon pretty much use the same hardware. Ok, you're telling me teenagers who basically picked up coding as a hobby do better than coders with college degrees? There's one thing I can up with that Nexon is to full of itself to hire new better coders so they can save money etc. Also look up lostpkz it's a dead runescape p sever but I coded parts of it

Credentials? (The proverbial 'pics or it didn't happen')

@Caligod: Pando Media Booster is not a Nexon run entity. LoL uses it too.

[quote=HumanPorch]Lol. how about you try to code a complex game?[/quote]

TS: it's very much true, a lot of people on basil though....they troll or think they're smart by acting like they know everything(people who respond to my comment rudely will be the ones im talking about)

[quote=IKickCats]Rofl you know nothing sorry. You do know all nexon america does is copy,paste and upload yet they still manage to somehow screw stuff up.

Well said.

Correction:
Nexon is run by human [b]who get paid to do their job right[/b].

You know what happens to me if I don't deliver properly a crap ton of times? I get fired. I think I speak for majority of the world when I say that it's common logic.

Human after all.

They have a test server
but since the entire staff is made out of THREE PEOPLE I can understand why it is so hard on MapleStory to work like it should.

This game is run by Asians. -> Expectations are not met.

you expect a Multi millionaire company to have repetitive errors? Smh

read this:

http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Nexon-Reviews-E143099.htm

As one of the 5% who know a little something about servers and coding, i really can appreciate this, and it needed to be said.

However, with how much money they make off of Maplestory, they should hire just one guy to test this stuff before sending it to the live server... or restart Tespia, and have people find bugs for them.

Respect for Nexon <3

so many brown noses !

tldr: nexon can divert 1% of their profits to hiring more people for server handling and or upgrade

they also compare Nexon to WoW. Even WoW has bugs, hell even WoW has server crashes. And they also dont realize anything about critical mass when it comes to coding.

Someone finally says it. finally. <3

Unfortunately most of the playerbase (read: 10-14 aged kids.) doesn't understand this.
