listen. it may sound odd, but it makes sense. i think Nexon is trying to Make GMS on par with KMS. dont believe me? read on. we were originially going to get just DB in v.88. then we also got chaos bosses. THEN they ALSO through in the Potential system. guess what? thats 3 major patches combined into one. i dont know the exact patchs, these #'s are just examples. BB= Big bang. for KMS, it went like this: .88(DB)->.89(7th anniversary).90 (potential & chaos bosses)->.91(BB1) for GMS, it so far is this: .88(DB, chaos bosses, potential equips). now what? the only next thing nexon can copy over to GMS is the big bang patch #1. BUT... chaos bosses and potential equips followed on may 13th in KMST. then BB1 was on july 8th. those patches were 56 days or almost 2 months apart. that could mean we still have lots of time till they announce it. Nexon isnt going to Rush the next patch because they want us to get used to the changes. hell, BB1 is prolly gonna come before the first 200 DB. they also want us to spend time buying their miracle cubes because obviously their getting rich from them. again BUT. the time spam in between the release of DB and the release of chaos bosses and the potential system was about 3 and 1/2 months. in GMS they instantly took away that 1 and 1/2 month timespan and slammed it into one Giant Trippe Whopper and shoved it into our mouths. owait, too much/not enough/didnt want ketchup? mustard? onions? lettuce? pay us $1 for a colored cube and we'll give you some random colored fries to go with that. see what i mean? nexon is gaining more and more moeny by releasing the new features quicker. by releasing the big bang, they will makes loads, and LOADS. of money. new formula's, monsters, everything. that means you need to change your equips to fit the formula's which means re scrolling them wheich leads to what? more randomly colored french fries. now ALSO: GMS is releasing Tespia again. last time it was used was when they were testing 4rth job. so far the Biggest patch of maple history. the BB will now be the biggest. this means the main reason they are releasing GMST is for the Big Bang. since its just SO BIG, there will be heaven loads of glitches, bugs, etc. if they didnt put it in GMST the patch would probably be well over 72 hours, and we all know that, knowing nexon. but GMST could do that much quicker. also once we get Tespia and if nexon puts us on par with KMS the order would be: >>>>> KMST> KMS> Nexon>>>>>>>>>>>> other versions >>>>> GMST> GMS> GMS is catching up to KMS as a main profit margin. nexon is making mroe and more and more money than they did 2 years ago. face it. now almost everyone has NX. in KMS, practically everyone is a henehoe. neoxn wants more money! and they only way of getting mroe money is advancing through the patches. Also, GMS holds TONS of people. millions of players. meaning if they can get even 1/3 of GMS to be like KMS, they would gain more money from GMS than KMS. (bad example ahead) GMS is like s

Why WOULDN'T Nexon want to make GMS on par with KMS? Their two biggest versions, both generating the most revenue... Of course they want them to be even. They're run by the same company!

So your thread is to tell us that a company is trying to increase revenue by updating their major money makers. ... Isn't that what every company does? I don't see the point of this thread. Plus, GMS does not have 10 million players. Maybe 10 million accounts, but myself? I have like, 5-6 accounts. I know people with more. GMS maybe has 1 million players active at this point, maybe 3 million legitimate players in its whole lifetime.

Of course they are going to be on par for the most part, most of GMS' stuff comes from KMS o.0 Content wise, KMS will always be ahead of GMS because most of the code comes from KMS and it just takes time to recode/tweak it for release in GMS. Over time the techniques to do this become more refined and allow for content to be translated faster and easier.
