I'm Michael "KThxBaiNao" deVenecia, the Community Manager for Global MapleStory at Nexon America.
About me:
I grew up in Seoul, South Korea.
I started playing MapleStory in a PC Cafe around 2003 after losing a lot in Starcraft.
I main a Hayato, and Night Lord
I'm a huge ESports fanatic, and amateur shoutcaster
I stream occasionally
I've been having too much fun with the HTML on the new forums
I actually really really love my job, and I'm super fortunate to be here
What my job entails:
Social Media Management
Forum Mediation and Management
Content Curation for Social Media
Delivering feedback regarding content, bugs, server issues, etc. from the community to Nexon's MapleStory Team
Delivering communication regarding your feedback, reports, etc. from Nexon to you guys
Maple Minutes - A community focused Youtube series that showcases community events, achievements, and fan creations (We've already started filming again!)
Lots of other stuff
tl;dr: I handle social media, forums, and make sure you (the players) have a voice, as well as acting as the primary voice for the MapleStory Team
Is there an old guide or thread that you think would be beneficial to have here? All we've got to do is copy ALL the text from the old forum, paste it as a new thread in these forums, and format it in HTML.
Let me know if you need any help. I'd be more than happy to help move over a few posts from the old forums as long as it makes sense. Feel free to post a link to an old thread you'd like moved over if you're having difficulties. I won't be moving over any comments unless they're actually a part of the original topic.
Don't forget, you can always move over some of your own posts if you'd like. You don't have to wait for me to do it. If you plan on moving your own threads, please try not to bring over everything. Let's keep it to the most important stuff for now.
