[quote] sammydumpling : you have to add in the eqation the manufacturing of the nx cards certain taxes for distributing and the profits that are taken by the stores themselves that would probably take away a huge chunk of the profits unless it was brought online [/quote] I buy online so..

I think its funny how much money nexon makes on a free game with p2p elements. No offense to people who have spent money on nexon.

link6930 Well MTS, money is still being spent one way or another, where did the people that bought that persons item in MTS get the nx? For surveys they initially make more money than you get for doing the survey.

More money than with smegas. Ahhhh Maplestory, Always finding new ways to make people rent their apartments or get a second job to buy NX.

All of them are "bought by real money". The only time it's not is from Maplepoints or survey money. Mts is real money cause the NX had to be charged by someone at some point

[quote] JunSama : They would earn more if they released this: "Noise-Blocking Earbuds" (Earring NX, comes in light blue, black, green and red) Cost: 5,000 NX Duration: 30 Days Effect: Blocks Super Megaphones, Megaphones, Friend-Megaphones as well as those silly Screen-Pop-Ups. (Can be unequipped to be deactivated) EDIT: No, these aren't real. I made them up. [/quote] They can't do that as that would make smegas a lot less bought and people who buy them wouldn't get what they deserve.

[quote] carloslam911 : I believe 1200 nx is not always $1.2. Game cards are more expensive. $30 for 25k nx in cards in Toronto here. So Its actually $1.44 in game cards. I believe the common way is by game card. So if 1000 people buy 100 cubes, its $144,000 per day, and $4320000 per month :D [/quote] I believe that extra $5 is a "Canadian tax" nexon slaps on them, cuz my american friends get confused when i say i bought a $12/30 gamecard...

Well lets just shoot something, I have no idea how many people play daily in maplestory, lets say about 60.000? so lets imagine that 10.000 people of those 60.000 use only 1 cube each day (of course, there're people that use over 200+ cubes each day, but lets imagine just 1 cube per person). So if 10.000 people use 1 cube each day that gives us: 10.000*1200= 12.000. well 12.000 what? mesos? no sir... DOLLARS hehe Of course, i bet the number is way bigger.

Haha I still haven't spent any money on those cubes! But I'm betting that most users use 10-30 at atime. Let's say that out of 10million players, a tenth of those used nx to buy miracle cubes. 30 x 1,000,000 x $1.20 = $36,000,000

I used surveys. :D

majority of the people who spend massive amounts of money on cubes are incredibly rich in game and are just finding ways to use up their fortune, doesn't matter if the merched this because someone had to buy their stuff with actual money they spent, so im guessing they made all the money the gained last year in this one patch
