Nexon shut down FreeMarket and leaving only Auctio
Comments
Transaction fees are now 5%, regardless of amount traded. This applies to:
Regular item trading fees
Cash item trading fees
Delivery trade fees
Looting other characters’ dropped mesos
I'm also wondering what will happen to the mvp diamond monthly pack if the FM shop is removed.
Take this as and example
In KMS, an arcane weapon is priced at 4 Billion mesos. This is the same as a few hundred dollars.
In GMS, an arcane weapon is also a few hundred dollar however, due to the difference in meso to dollars, if we were to convert an arcane weapon to mesos using a 1 dollar to 900mil rate, we would see it being worth around 200-250 billion mesos.
In the end, 29,999,999,999 meso cap makes sense in KMS due to the low prices because not much of what they have even goes that high. However, the large majority of items in GMS shoot pass 29,999,999,999 mesos making technically useless for us.
TLDR - 30Bil is good in a KMS economy but since our economy is utter trash, it doesn't work.
Also, on the topic of no more fm shops, its hard to say because KMS actually cares about players, they want them to be happy therefore making the auction house very nice and removing the hassle of spending money for a shop. We can't say the same for GMS because removing shops means that there are less people spending money to buy a shop which in end means Nexon America makes less.
we're told to attempt to vet sellers for the source of the items to ensure we do not receive dupes. This becomes quite difficult when we're only able to use the auction house which has NO NAMES.
I agree with both points I just feel nexon is trying to get rid of hackers now when it should of been done before. a lot of people been hurt from hackers in one way it almost destroyed khaini (rip kewra) we have to come up with ideas to better vet people but improve auction house as that is our main market now. but as of rn i feel the market in gms is no longer good, we would need people who knows how it works and people who dealt with banning hackers and cases to find ways of getting rid of them but perserving the market.
KMS doesn't have much dupe in comparison to GMS, so they won't really care for here, maybe they can add, but i'm not sure how soon this would happen.
I can see the population will dropped even more once this happened.
All this maybe in 2014 or less but not anymore. The free market now became a place for exploit and illicit sales. Taking away the free market means taking away the means to sell items for real money, which is against the terms of service.
On the contrary. There are many people who do not care for the Free Market, or 'godly-gear' show-offs. This game is more than just those aspects mentioned., people play it to create new/old classes and explore what Maple Story has to offer. Believe me, there is more than just sitting around a Free Market entrance or Henesys. While it is true the population of worlds like Scania have decreased, it will only be a matter of time before Nexon does something to bring players back..
...Or atleast some of us can only hope.
At first, I thought I was crazy, cus I thought that I was the only one who think like that, especially when GM's doing their best to close threads that are related to that subject (mesos rate is dropped due to the fact that there are more hackers than legit players).
Glad to know that I am not crazy.
Thank you.
The problem with this is that you'd have to use the rates from the Meso Market system Nexon implemented, which changes from day to day. It can be 1bil = 2200 which is 2.20 or sometimes it's 1400(1.40). It would be higher if there weren't the thousands of meso bots around.
you bring up a great point
