From I what I remember Nexon renamed NX cards to Karma coin so people wouldn't feel embarrassed to buy the cards or something silly. I think it was to have a more mature look to the cards. If you take the time to read the stuff written on the card it sounds like that. I never really cared anyways. I wouldn't feel embarrassed to buy something I like... At least not MapleStory anyways.

[quote=road]How exactly does nexon get ripped off? Karma koin is the company that makes these cards. They pay (I'm assuming) a commission per $ value sold, this is just like saying buying Karma Koin from a convenience store is ripping off nexon.

OT: sometimes you can't see them, but they always come back relatively quickly[/quote]
Yo How many times are you gonna get banned LOL

[quote=noobiest123]I think Nexon gets the same amount of money.
Whether someone sells a $50 code for $50, $45 canadian money, 20 cabbages, 50 potatoes, or 14 eggs, nexon still receives the same amount of $ for the $50 code sold.[/quote]

But they don't, that's not how the economy works, someone has to pay for the conversion rates. It used to be the players, people used to get less NX than what they paid if they did it with another currency, but now Nexon is taking the fee so players don't feel discouraged to spend more.

In theory this works fine, as only Canadian players have access to the physical cards, so the money loss is minimal, but thanks to the Internet Americans can buy the cheaper Canadian codes taking advantage of this.

Also this is why many sites use IP block to prevent people from other regions exploit these things.

I've been purchasing from them for a year now. I do agree with the post above me. They run out of codes every now and then. Give it a day or two and they will start selling again

[quote=Blackinup]Did they just run out? The entire page is gone.[/quote]

They run out of codes from time to time. Then they get more from Nexon and put the page back up.

[quote=oOpoleyOo]karma koin is a separate entity to nexon, 50$ spent on KC -> less than 50$ in nexons pocket.
they realized that having a whole department on customer support/production/distribution of their game cards = more leaked money so they switched over to KC to save a few pennies[/quote]

[quote=uphailure]Might be because you're able to buy cards with a different currency which could save you a few $.[/quote]
