Pottable badges are gone and honestly if you want them back we should be asking Korean players to push for potential on their badges.
It would make Genesis badge actually worth something for them as well as it just makes sense.
Badges make so little difference without potential you could easily just remove them from the game and nobody would probably care.
Also, PLEASE learn to format your post. The enter key exists, use it.
MapleStory 2 was already shut down in Korea. A global MS2 was an attempt to see if it would work in the western market.
It clearly wasn't successful enough for them to deem it worth continuing development. A sad fate for a game that had some good potential.
I've felt that Maple has been in a good place since about 2017, with each change that most users complain about a step in the right direction.
There are certainly common complaints, but I feel like Nexon is working on them all either from the shadows or publicly.
Kishin Meta still needs to be defeated, Zero for Reboot, Some kind of fix for the bots/hackers, Less p2w BS, some kind of free global chat, etc.
Nexon still has a rough road ahead of it if it wants to make GMS a driving force in revenue.
Not sure where I picked it up, but I found the flame star recently, I believe it was in the stone colossus map chain, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I did a few quest lines and only found one though, so it has some rareness to it still.
well, it's going to always be like that the security hasn't been serious for years and prob never will we should hope Korea does something soon
Even the most intrusive DRM methods can be cracked pretty quickly. Denuvo rarely ever makes it that long before it's hacked and it's one of the worst DRMs to ever exist.
I highly doubt Nexon can make anything that can actually stop the hackers. Most hackers actually LIKE the challenge so if anything you'll just get it cracked faster.
