  • Really Nexon? LOL

    While I do not condone Nexon's constant (albeit thinly indirect) sale of power, they are not technically gambling. To begin, all sales of NX eventually have some origin in some person paying real cash for it. The moment they buy it, the money is Nexon's. Not the moment you buy something in the cash shop, but when you buy the card/code itself.

    In addition, gambling is when you pay in money for a chance to win cash prizes. When it comes to how Nexon's smorgasbord of RNG-laden gachaponesque items function, it is not gambling. From a player pov, it can be perceived as gambling since we have an underground market that gives items a real world value.

    Technically, Nexon's fault here is the same as how Valve failed to predict gambling with CS:GO skins or TF2 items. While it took them by surprise, it was not their fault initially, but it's been years since this trend began. The fact they haven't done enough to control it is where I begin to take considerable offense.

    The NX Codes (Karma Koins) are indeed not 'gambling' but the purpose it is used for is certainly 'gambling'. Nowadays gambling is more than just casino and lottery. The law still need to be adjusted. If you think about it, compare today with 20 years ago, so much has changed (not only in the gambling world but many other stuff too) but the law is still outdated.

    A lot of things got expanded thanks to the internet.

    Customer buy Karma Koin with money > use it on Cash Shop items in MapleStory
    Customer buy tokens in Casino with money > use it to play some games in casinos

    In the above example we are 'exchanging' our money into NX Codes / Tokens in order to use it in MapleStory / Casinos.
    And going by your logic both are technically not 'gambling', but from the customers view it is considered gambling.

    Edit: Although the difference is that you can still exchange your tokens for money in casinos and while you cannot do that with virtual currency.

    This was probably implemented because of the gambling bots in Scania and other active servers. Everyone should know by now that you can only game in the cash shop with legally purchased NX. Cmon guys this is old news

    Pretty sure plenty of players know there are some illegal in-game 'gambling bots'. The main joke is here purchasing legit NX and using it in MapleStory is 'gambling' on it's own.

  • Skills and quests no longer work

    If you are wearing items that 'summons' something beside your character (such as LGR, Sylph Ring, Weather rings etc), try to get to FM and unequip them there.
    If you are in a map that is not a town, you will need to queue yourself out. The only one I know is do a Zakum Queue (try it even if you did the boss already), then talk to the NPC to go to El Nath town. Then you use Quick Move to move to FM. Take off all the items that has a summon effect and keep it unequipped.

    You will be freely to move around and do everything.

    Edit: Queue also works in Sengoku High Principal's Dojo.
    Edit: Make sure you click FM in the Quick Move! Do not click Ardentmill by accident because of your habit going to that place.
