profit maybe few of them but most just want it dead anyway it dosnt matter it wont happend like i said maplestory wont die
As I and others pointed out, hackers don't want the game to die. They either profit off of it, have fun with hacking, or are trying to get some quick progression in the game.
None of these people want the game to die.
am not sure at what stage nexon are now but like they are trying to sell the company then fail then try to open other games and focus on them fail a bit aswell and so on
It was the founder who was trying to sell his majority stake in the controlling company. What this means is that ONE PERSON was trying to sell HIS SHARE of Nexon.
The "one person" just happened to be the founder and held onto most of his stocks making it his company. Look into the rule of 51%.
He also most likely was trying to sell it because he has a history of getting into legal trouble and he probably either wanted out of the business, or to pay off some untold debt.
Eitherway, It had barely anything to do with Nexon itself and more to do with the personal life of one person.
also they close regions /servers of MS
maplestory is #1 thats why it wont die just suffer from bad care
Just because certain regions close doesn't mean MS is in any trouble at all.
There are plenty of exclusive games to certain regions that are extremely popular that never catch on in other markets.
MapleStory (and MMOs in general) are this type of genre.
The bad care thing you might be right about though.
combat arms did same suffered intense pain for long time untill
A: nexon gave it to other team (kinda late but works as we wanted and its full f2p and far less bugs/server issues)
B :market got new improved modern FPS alternatives to play
same with maplestory it wont die.
A: nexonNA starts work on it and listen players
B: other company will start listen players (i dont think nexon will go that bad like : we are closeing but we wont give the rights to other company)
C: in worst case nexon refuse all that maplestory MMORPG alternative will show (yes KMS and CMS is doing good even after bad changes lately so this C wont happend any time soon)
Technically this already happened since Nexon of America no longer develops GMS. As far as a MapleStory Alternative, we're 15+ years in and still waiting. (less)

When I suggested an overhaul should be considered for MVP, this isn't what I meant Nexon.
The idea … (more)was to make MVP more useful and accessible for common folk, not raise the bar and make it even more pay to win.
They even used the idea of extra channels to make this new system "worth it." I trust KMS fanbase to pushback against this, hopefully Nexon won't ignore them. (less)
computer type/system,linked social media accounts... and so much more data they take/got that can makeup for SSN or get close to it
Creditcard is obviously going to be a little bit more sensitive. Phone, IP, Computer Type, Social Media are all handed out like candy these days and come nowhere NEAR the compromising power that giving someone your SSN does.
You can't steal someone's identity based on their name and IP address alone. (less)
ehh all this wont change anything in nexonNA any time soon but yea anyway
its not 100k players but accs by few users who use those to fund their "legit" accs or sell the goods to other
also AI to combat hackers its just a dream its not same as learning how to finish x task
both side works how to outsmart eachother
if nexon makes that dream Ai that learns how to catch hacker/rule breaker
rule breaks/hackers makes same kind of "ai" to learn fast how to avoid such flags
so it will be endless AI war loop that catch so many wrongly each time it gets "updated" just like your video example the guy is "hacking" lets the AI beat the game perfectly without touching the keyboard/be near it
how are you going to stop that and make legit speed runers with just Ai?
all GM's/GM team can do its make that task of hacking/rule breaking harder and less pleasant
just like in KMS there is hackers too but not as much as in GMS
there will be hackers allways the point its to clean the damage from the hackers as much as possible but not hurt actual players
once their "mains legit" acc gets ban and all the work wasted there wont be so many hackers doing it or trying to do so (less)
The problem is that humans can't combat that AI as well as other AI would be able to.
So if the hackers are using AI to avoid bans, then you need AI to combat their AI.
The best way to prevent hackers is to make it not worth their time. An aggressive AI helps with that, but it only stops them in one spot.
Account creation should be made harder for hackers as another step. You'll always have hackers within games, you'll always have false ban within games.
You should work to minimize both of these aspects and honestly given the number of bans Nexon does, I think they've got a nice balance going on.
There's a lot more to a GM than just banning hackers. It's something you'd have to move to Nexon's location for.
Not only this, most hackers are banned via auto-detect methods. Humans are … (more)much slower at banning than AI is.
If you were to do anything related to banning you would probably just be teaching the AI how to catch people it hadn't already caught.
I doubt you'd ever personally ban anyone and the reverse would actually be the case, you'd be unbanning people that the AI false flagged if you could prove it was a false flag.
GMs these days don't really play games and go around patrolling for hackers.
They're mostly there for events, answering questions, looking into issues, etc.
Active GMs in the game will do almost nothing to cut down on hackers.
Every single server has 20 channels. We have 7 servers counting the two EU ones.
This means for EVERY single map in the game they have to check 140 versions of it.
A single map chain is thousands of maps they have to check.
Nexon is banning tens of thousands of hackers per week and sometimes over one hundred thousand.
There's no way a group of humans could hope to match that.
Black Cipher needs to be improved, not removed.
Removing it would just allow anyone to hack because they no longer have to get tools to bypass hack protection. (less)
