EMS Merging with GMS

http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/11389/maplestory-service-migration-announcement

Summary:
-EMS servers will now be on the server select page
-EMS players and items will be staying in their respective servers, not moving into ours
-EMS exclusive content (like Additional Options) will be removed and players will be compensated

So before people freak out, no, EMS players will not be in your server after this. They'll still be in their server, which you can now make a character in if you so desire. Similarly, EMS players can make new characters in the base GMS servers, if they so desire. This isn't a full "merge" where the EMS servers are getting deleted and all the EMS players are being shoved into the existing GMS servers.

Just want to make that clear before people start freaking out about FM prices, training spots, etc.

@genostigma: They are on the right path tbh. These new bosses require teamwork & are basically impossible to solo. They're slowly trying to bring back the ways of the old communities.

Basil might become more active because it's a spot where ems and gms can already talk and interact with eachother. I guess you could go to r too but they won't have your smexy avatars

Isn't this a slap in the face to those who said this wont happen that the customer services would be merging and that alot of us can't read? Sure it's not a full merge but..... yay I can play with my EMS buddy now

Well to be fair with the ability for EU players to join GMS servers, FM prices should go up as well as fm and training spots being filled up not to mention with them sharing our support services ticket response times will be slower.

Even with all that said there should be so much good coming from an unblocked service allowing much needed growth.
Whats that saying? "you gotta take the bad with the good."

Only reason I ever had a MapleEurope account was for the awesome events; Guy Fawkes PQ, French Revolution PQ, Oktoberfest Beer Tent, Queen's Day etc.

Now I'll never be able to experience them again. D:

@msmusixremaster: "Or block Americans from entering." I actually have quite a few friends who've been playing GMS from Europe for a while, and not only do they not have any issue with Americans, but none of the people from America have any issue with them. You're trying to pass the buck saying that because "Americans" were racist before you were, it's ok for you to be racist, which is both a terrible opinion to have and it's a very blanketed stereotype. Being from America doesn't make you a racist, the only thing that makes someone a racist is their opinions of other people.

@msmusixremaster: It's not even a big deal. You guys sounding like a bunch of cry babies honestly.

@msmusixremaster: The block you're suggesting failed for Combat Arms. They killed off the North American player-base when the merge happened and they put Europe servers on-top of the list.

@nitsua2789: And that's the problem as a lot of our players have spent a lot of mney and we get fucked over like this.
The least they could do if they can't keep the EMS server up anymore is to either close it down for good, or block Americans from entering.

I don't mind most of the Brazilians, I'm just pointing it out, as I remember before EMS was made, Brazilians played GMS and there was a lot more racism from you guys than any of us.

@msmusixremaster: Okay, I'll report you. Every brazilian player will be welcome in Galicia, k?

Also like to add this:
- There are no plans to perform a World-Transfer Event directly with the migration.

EDIT:
@wall

"20. [MAPLESTORY ONLY] Will the European and North American regions culminate in having the same content?
Once the migration is completed, the Content and Events will be the same and further details on item differences are still being reviewed at this time."

It's hard to interpret what was meant here, but at the most "they're looking into it".

@msmusixremaster: So don't? We have plenty of Latin players in GMS as well so that's not even really an issue.

There's no need to bring anti-American or anti-Brazilian sentiment into this. If you don't want to play because someone else is playing from a different country, then don't play. Complaining about it and saying you got screwed over isn't going to change anything, it's just going to insult people.

@wall: Doesn't change the fact that some EMS only items like the supreme medal will be gone, and that most of us don't want to play with Americans. That's why they're quitting.

Also, Brazilians on EMS outnumber actual Europeans 7 to 1 and most of them only speak Portuguese. So yeah, suck on it. Nexon screwed us both, especially EMS as we have no say, and frankly, go read our forums, we don't wanna play with you.

@wall: Well tons of EMS players are quitting because GMS is too noobified. With your overpowered items and just too easy leveling.

Also, enjoy the HUGE influx of rude, angry Brazilians who will also have access to GMS. There were a shitload of those on EMS
