Hey all,
We appreciate the feedback that has been on-going surrounding the larger MapleStory community, especially the constructive criticism from the majority of you. However, when criticism is hateful, without merit, or meant to just stir up an emotional response regardless of the content, that crosses the line. Recently, the latter criticism is what has been observed throughout this community, both within this forums and on surrounding websites. This sort of criticism is not the way to promote changing for the better, or how we create an overall better community.
I also realize that some of you are looking for increased communication and transparency regarding certain topics. We’re working on a larger, more specific response right now, and hope to have that early next week. In the meantime, I’d like to ask a few things from everyone:
1. I’ve been with Nexon/MapleStory for 2 years now, and there’s a lot of great things here, and a huge diverse history. MapleStory is an awesome community, and I want to keep that greatness progressing forward. I’d like for all of you to think about what are some potential things that can help us (the MapleStory Community) progress and move forward. I’m not necessarily talking about in-game changes, but more in the way of quality-of-life. This is not something you need to answer now, just think about it for the time being.
2. Please treat others the way you’d expect to be treated. Much of the recent topics have just been fueled by anger and hate, and that’s not how we should act as a community.
3. Don’t jump to conclusions immediately, and please allow time for responses. I’ve been seeing this way too often over the past few months, where members are essentially demanding an immediate response. Demands are not how we can all work together on improving this community from here.
Last but not least, the rules currently in place for the EULA, TOS, CoC, and other documents are meant to be guidelines for conduct, not absolute specifics for every edge case that may occur. We’ll be working on a larger overall plan / post, but please allow us some time to get all of this together and present it to all of you properly as a means of next steps forward. We’ll lead, and I hope you will follow.
Thanks, and I look forward to a larger discussion soon.
That was what was just posted in announcement section by oneletter
To answer your question of " think about what are some potential things that can help us (the MapleStory Community) progress and move forward. " How about actually doing things listed in suggestions that have reviewed a pretty good amount of support. I mean theres some things players wanted for a LONG time and its not like game breaking OP or anything... Some things such as more cosmetic appeal e.g. NX/non-nx clothes/hair styles or an expansion to event items changes. Such as the changing of easter egg event where the easter egg drop far less than they do not or making so that you can only obtain them if you receive the quest or removing easter eggs and making it an entirely new event quest. This is an exmaple, there a ton of other events that fall into the same category where the "event" item thats SUPER common is absolutely unbearable for players who are training because it causes more lag. Where the drop obviously has to be high for new players who want to do the event to still be able to do the event, but players who are much higher lv dont want to do the event. This should be a choice thing, not a "You have to do the event" kinda scenario. Or even updating the list that pet ignores is something players wanted for a long time. Like adding treasure item detector during that event or the bells during valentine event. Its been talked about everytime one of these events comes out like "Can we make it so we get these drops only if we accept a certain quest daily/Can we get this item added to pet ignore list"
Its simple things like these where players wanted for years and nexons not making the effort to improve that you see it as "hateful,without merit, or meant to stir up an emotional response regardless of the content, that crosses the time.". Nexons gotta start taking a hint and actually listen to the community instead of writing stuff like this and saying we're raging at them for no reason. O btw,,its been YEARS so yes..i think we allowed a lot of time for responses
