Is Nexon giving up?

Nexon has been in utter chaos since December. Problem after problem has been piling up. It started with MapleStory and now it's gradually spreading to the rest of Nexon's games. 1. "Massive hackings." - Lead to protests and angered people. These so-called LEGAL players decided to spam tickets, trying to get their accounts back. 2. New "Security" - By this time, I had already quit. I quit because I got hacked during the number one era and had been playing Mabinogi. Unfortunately, Nexon didn't do anything until THIS which was pretty much.. I'm assuming late January. The new security first started with a PIC, which is fine really. However it caused more people to be hacked or whatever you players claim it is. 3. Web launch. - Now that PIC isn't working, let's try getting the game to work by launching it from the site, eh? Ah here's where it spreads to everyone else. The Web-launch didn't affect me, I was able to play fine. However a ton of people had problems, especially Maplers. By this time I'm already head over heals for Mabinogi, but upset since some of my friends aren't able to play. My buddylist is pretty much full of offliners.. and my guild in Bellocan has some news for me. 4. Password force-change. - Now THIS seems like a good idea, isn't it? Not entirely. Nexon has clearly stated that multiple accounts is against the TOS, however we have a lot of accounts anyways. You know, mules and such. So while you're changing the password of every account you got, BAM. You're IP-banned. You're not able to access the game NOR site. You are.. what they say. Screwed. Even though they changed this, many MORE people were unable to play. Now see, I came from a decent guild in Bello. I'm glad most of my friends weren't banned, but several of them were hacked and IP-banned. 5. Compensation - Nexon does not do a thing. They do not bother lifting a finger, and while Maple is getting screwed over, Mabi's doing fantastic. I'm not sure if there's anything else BAD happening to other games, but show some light. I'd like to know what's happening to other games that Nexon hosts. While you guys are getting two hours of 2x on Sunday and Saturday, Nexon decides to give us 2x too, which is a little different from you Maplers. 2x is an item that you can get from the item shop. It costs 0 NX for TWO days(You guys get Saturday and Sunday). You can use this 2x anytime you want and because Nexon's timing is horrible, Mabi players are able to smuggle another 2 hours of 2x on Monday, 12AM. 6. Crap. Patched. - Yay patches! .. Really? No.... because of this, Mabinogi KEEPS shutting down. Say goodbye to your items if you die in a dungeon or whatnot(you guys probably don't understand..) however what's going on with MS? I logged in, most of my guildies quit and my buddylist is basically non-existant. You guys get a bunch of dupers running around like mad and while Nexon tries to fix Maple's problem, they totally ignore Mab. It's been a week of constant disconnecting and great there'

I have a feeling it is going down the drain....only the events keep it alive I think.... On a side note, I might try Mabinogi

Massive hacking - Plausible Source please. Security - I hope you realize PIN = PIC in different form. Web launch - You only need to launch it from the site once...

Its too corrupt. But MapleStory is probably one of Nexon's main money-makers; not sure how they can just "give up". Off-topic: I never got Mabi. I've tried playing it and its not a playing style that I really understood. :l

I just want to point out that Multiple accounts havent been against the ToS for a LONG time. Either way its quite obvious that the direction Nexon is taking, (including in Korea) Nexon is just trying to milk as much money as they can before they pull the plug on Maple Story completely. Maple is already dying, and they know this.

Well they're not giving up, but they're still doing poorly. I think a good solution would be to make the sign-up process for new accounts much more extensive.

lol, are first i though every companies has flaws but with the resent outbursts, i'm reconsidering the game to be spiraling down an unstoppable twister. I say the game is going to be in gone in a year or so.
