oh forgive me for HIM personally admitting he was 19 as hired onto staff, yeah if I was him id say I was 3 years older at least to make a vague attempt at proving at least I got an associates degree. hes not 22. that's false he is 19 if not then maybe now 20 he confirmed this basically day he was given post, defend a dead horse if you must, I'm not breaking any rules actually I'm just stating my personal unbiased un-racial opinion unlike others on this thread have broken boundaries in defense mechanismDude, Michael is 22. Now I'd advised you to stop posting because I'm a sure you are very close to braking a few rules on the forums. Also, part of his job was to hype the game up.
OF COURSE HE HAD TO BRING RACE INTO THIS! when in doubt pull the race card DUHHHHH!!! every failure does that in history of being a loser with a invalid point/debate just butt hurt one of his boyfriend's on staff got fired for being incompetent and extremely under aged/therefore most likely unqualified/FOS "M.O.D." I could honestly name a handful of appropriately educated/sufficient aged mapler friends who'd do the job like a serious civil duty, not just some HYPEBRO
Umm I just logged on the forums today and seeing this actually shocked me, because despite my experiences with him which weren't pleasant, I don't think it was fair how you guys put so much responsibility on him. He was just one person and communicating with virtually everyone on the game probably isn't easy. So maybe you should hire more people so your small staff doesn't get so overwhelmed.OF COURSE HE HAD TO BRING RACE INTO THIS! when in doubt pull the race card DUHHHHH!!! every failure does that in history of being a loser with a invalid point/debate just butt hurt one of his boyfriend's on staff got fired for being incompetent and extremely under aged/therefore most likely unqualified/FOS "M.O.D."

.Are you really bringing race into this? Race has nothing to do with this we literally had a white CM and he left so I think you need to take that race bs somewhere else because it's not cute. Nexon is just a bad company and they have no morals. I'm pretty sure Hime got fired as well from what I heard on the internet. They will let you go regardless of skin color.I'm just so sad now I cannot follow KAY THANK YOU GOODBYE NOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA STREAMS AND LIKE ALL HIS POSTS RELATED TO MAPLE OR ANYTHING FUNNY ABOUT HIS PERSONAL LIFE(WHICH NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW) WHAT AM I GUNNA DO NOW? DO I RELLY HAVE TO GO BACK TO GRADING MY CHILDRENS TEST PAPERS AND CORRECTING THE MISTAKE NAO FOR NOW GIVING THEM A -2 PTS PER LINE AND GIVING THEM ANOTHER -2 POINTS FOR SAYING BYE "BAI"? SOUNDS LIKE BAE? HM. such a shame such a huge shame, shame, shame. I mean even though he never got back to us with anything he still was cool 2 follow on twitta and reddit and cray stuffz like that. didn't help me one time. in fact had a lot of issues with him, but not that hes not a twitter GOD I'm so over him LF> new Korean idolsWe get it.
You want a middle-aged white guy who's never played MapleStory, but can dish out the corporate double-speak in perfect formal English. A father-figure who would make you feel secure and looked-after, even when you're ignored as Nexon has always ignored us.
I have no idea what kind of "management" you expect a CM to do to the community. Herd us?
Personally, I don't like memes and I found Michael's videos cringeworthy, but I can see beyond that to the actual work he did.
A CM has very little power. He's just an ambassador. A go-between the company and the community. His ability to solve our issues with the game is extremely limited. KThxBaiNao at least understood what those issues were, and was able to assign them priorities and explain them to the dev team. For issues internal to NexonNA he did more than that. He helped many people who were wrongfully banned or had other personal customer-support issues, get those issues actually looked at instead of brushed off. He rearranged the forums and added the "forwarded issues" lists to help with transparency. He got items on sale in the Cash Shop that we asked for (for example, right now we have the Mix Dye Coupon added, that was suggested on this forum). True, he can't fix servers and he can't fix bugs and when he gets incorrect answers from the devs he passes them on unknowingly, but no other CM could do any better in those regards. And yeah, he couldn't keep up, but none of them ever did. The workload is too much for one person.
Anyway, I don't know why he got fired.
It may be because he pushed too hard for everyone else in the company to do their jobs and fix the game or treat the players fairly.
It may be because he was unable to be in California and therefore unable to do parts of his job (most notable, or at least most visible: he was unable to stream the V update, so those two clowns had to, resulting in a PR disaster; and he could not provide us with updates during the long night maintenances, so OneLetter had to do that).
It might even be something stupid like some high muck-a-muck calling a meeting and firing Michael in a fit of pique when he couldn't physically attend.
But regardless of the reason, I still feel he was one of the best CMs we ever had, and definitely cared the most about the game and players. And I fear that, if that was the reason he was let go, then our next CM is sure to be an apathetic bureaucrat.
Its not being "dumb" in any manner whatsoever. like above posts have said, history repeats itself. I was just curious if we'd get a forewarning before obvious expected annual ninja nerf on boxes, if you think me posting this in any aspect or consideration swerves the thought process of nexon from NOT applying this nerf for like 3rd year in a row, then, think again. Go farm boxes now like I said before then you shouldn't have much concernsSANTABOXES Considering same exact thing happened last year in attempts to prevent "coin exploits" no matter the proof that these are outdated or lightly used if even at all anymore cause event shops aren't a 3rd of what they used to be in terms or rewards and even now there limitations. So will we be reduced to the same 30 nonsense coins after a next sc like the V-boxes disgracefully give or will we be allowed to actually farm majority of the items from the event shop this year without Nexon, nerfing ridiculously a limited tedious coin demand of items in the process?why did u have to be so dumb? and write in on their forum? now u are going to ruin it.
I believe the reason that he was fired was for reimbursing the players that lost items during the server crash. There is not one logical reason why he should've been fired if that is the case.Yeah cause that reason is so explanatory and full of great composure and makes 100% sense as to why Nexon would choose to boot some unqualified bilingual person. I don't see point of fan boying any GM/ mod/staff/representative of nexon or acting like you know them in real life or so well that you can vouch for why they were stripped of a multi- demanding job.

If that is the true reason they gave him the boot, then that's quite sickening. It just further proves the point Nexon does not care for its player base and only cares about milking what little money it can from its games since it's such a bad company.
