OK the rates you put up are dumb. 100 mill for 1 maple point? That's stupid. I think 100mill= 1,000 1b= 10,000 etc.

It's what they're targeting.

Unless it's better than the rate given by most sellers, this is useless.

[quote=Pamplemousse]It doesn't say.

OT: It seems like a meso sink.

EDIT: Conjected conversion rate maybe:

100 Million Mesos = 1 Maplepoint
1 Billion Mesos = 10 Maplepoints
10 Billion Mesos = 100 Maplepoints
100 Billion Mesos = 1,000 Maplepoints[/quote]

Considering that you can only hold 2.1b mesos at once, I incredibly doubt that the rate will be that drastic. XD
But yeah, it seems a lot like a meso sink to me. I like where this plan is going...
(Although I think it's going to be scrapped fairly soon. Gold farmers generate insane amounts of gold, which can be turned into nx after being bought by players... so unless they have a very high exchange rate, this is going to cause Nexon's money intake to plummet.)

[quote=bubblecup118]In a business standpoint that is a dumb idea.

If you put it the same price no one would buy nx through $ therefore nexon loses profit[/quote]

That wasn't what he was saying. No one would buy nx through real life money if the rate was something unreasonable? Is that what you're saying? o.o

[quote=jamerican]In my opinion nexon should put it around the same price as the "illegitimate" conversion rate [/quote]

I thought they said the npc was somewhere in nexon's files but not even released in tespia. It may not ever exist. I read it a while ago so my memory is kind of vague.

EDIT: Although you can't access it in game, this image is inside the wz files.
idk

[quote=Pamplemousse]@Trigonometry: Idk, just copy and pasted it from the article's comment section. I recalled it being similar to what someone who played in KMST said, so.[/quote]

The owner of the blog said that that comment's exchange rate would not work seeing as their is much more space for the maple points

100 million mesos : 1 maple point... WITH a 6% transaction fee.

Well there goes the way to make mesos selling nx. Really I have feeling they will f up and a hacker(s) will exploit it.

@pample
I don't believe that the npc has no "rate" yet.

You can't hold past 2b, so the 10b and 100b part is moot.
