Nexon is nowhere near desperate. If they can support their server and buy ads without charging a monthly fee, they're doing pretty damn good.

b.c without use theyre nothing. they would have to charge for you to play this game then.

I'm kind of annoyed. I play Halo and Bungie often interacts with the users to make the game better. Nexon just focuses on our wallets

All businesses are desperate for money. I'm sure the people who program Maple, as well as management, have their salaries linked in part to how much money is made. If Nexon's growth increases, guess what? An extra $3,000 dollars on everyone's paycheck. Obviously, that's a guess, and a somewhat conservative one at that. Still, if you could make more money, wouldn't you want to? EDIT: Ah, content-wise, you mean. Again, if they can make products that suit the demands of more people, of course they will! I don't open my wallet lightly, but even I bought NX for a friend's birthday. And she absolutely loved it. In the business world, typically intelligent and sensible things go backwards. Somehow, you might look at a product or advertisement and say, "That's stupid." That's exactly what you're supposed to think. It's got your attention now. Why not buy the ridiculous thing from the cash shop? It'll be funny. You'll get interesting reactions. And hey, it'll make the game more entertaining. Cha-ching! Nexon got you.

What their priority should be is to improve the existing servers. They're really terrible with today's standards of an online video game server. Believe me, I've done comparisons.

No Nexon is far from desperate, look at the publisher of MapleStory in Korea. They were pressured so much that they had to add a CokeLand in their game.

True. Even on Demethos, I get an occasional lag spike. Usually right after that spike, Nexon will put up a moving marquee at the top of my screen saying something such as, "Lag got you down? Continue your leveling or PQing in a channel 10 or higher blah blah.."

The item sales model is an extremely viable model in Asia, and it is proving to be so in North America as well. To put it simply, Nexon reported $230 million in revenue for 2005, the bulk of which stemmed from millions of �microtransactions�. Source: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12928

Shouldn't be that expensive with 30 million bucks of people's money coming in each year. @above: DAMN! Either the employees are getting paid extremely well or they're just being super jews with the money.
