    Up until January 2011, v0.95, we had a different deliveryman, a youngster named Duey. He could deliver items and meso from one character to another, even if the recepient was not online at the time.
    Unfortunately, cheaters hid contraband in Duey's trucks, and Nexon couldn't find it there.
    So, Duey was "retired", and Donald was hired instead.
    However, in order to make sure Donald didn't get used by cheaters as well, he was not allowed to accept any items for delivery from players, only from Nexon.
    As usual, legitimate players lost a useful function because Nexon couldn't prevent cheaters from abusing it.

    I have never heard any convincing explanation as to why Nexon chose to make this NPC resemble Donald Trump.

    Definitely, just like Agent Smith looks like Will Smith.
    And I remember a chef-NPC looking like Gordon Ramsay.

    I mean, considering how Trump wasn't that famous until just recently, and that Will Smith and Gordon Ramsay were actually popular, Donald probably bought his way in in order to get ready for his election and have more advertising.

    That, or they REALLY hate Trump enough to have him be a worthless delivery man.

    It's definitely not a coincidence at the very least.

    I always thought that they actually created him based on Trump. He was pretty famous on firing people for years on TV before he turns to politics.
