You are all more than welcome to debate or be argumentative regarding this topic, but please no personal attacks against other members or diving into topics which are against our forum Code of Conduct. Forum rules apply no matter what the thread subject is.

Thank you.

Hello sir! Can you tell my why the code of conduct doesn't apply to certain people like gamechanger?:

You are a special kind of person. Its amazing you figured out how to logon to the forums to post in this thread.

@Akradian showed you the post where Michael told us how old he was. Now either stop making stupid up and embarrassing yourself further, or provide a link to the comment where Michael said he was 19. I hope you shut up though, because that comment doesn't exist.

All you do is spout off nonsense and butt into threads with irrelevant comments.

So some people can attack people on here and nothing happens, but me calling someones ideas about politics idiotic is enough to get me a warning?

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.

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 idols

We 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.

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.

Thanks for the kind words you guys. ^_^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOE! (:

THIS MAP LMAO

I WANT TO KILL DRUNK MONSTERS.

Nah, we need to stay here and watch everyone go into mass frenzy over typical Nexon being Nexon. A lot of people here are acting like spoiled kiddies and throwing their toys out the pram. I just like to watch it all unfold.

Lol it's not like people are bringing up valid concerns with the company or anything. We are totally just being "spoiled kiddies" even though I'm not sure how expressing your disappointment in how the maintenances on the game are almost always being extended for hours, even for minor server checks is being a 'spoiled kiddie' lol but whatever floats your boat my friend! (:

Some people have no valid concerns, a lot of them are whining and crying over missing 1 day of events or having "only once a week" to play like another person on the a topic. Yet we all know how bad Nexon is, and every time a patch comes out the topics continue to parrot after a decade plus. Has anything changed? Nope. As Luxx and Kazuto said basically...They don't care. Why not try and code the problem yourselves if you think they're so incompetent lmao.

How do I code the problem myself? What am I supposed to fly my ass down to Nexon HQ from Texas at 12am lmao.
My point is they should prepare for the patch, especially since they created such a hype, which is why I made the comparison to Blizzard because I saw someone of the forums say Blizzard RARELY goes overtime on their updates because they plan it out and know what they are doing. And I'm not for one second trying to say "I can code so much better than these hoes rawr xD" No. I don't think I could code it better because I never learned how to code, but I do think people who know how to code and code for a career could code better than some of these people at Nexon, and I don't whine for 1 day out of the week I've actually been sending in tickets and sending them feedback for the past year but obviously my concerns aren't taken seriously as I still haven't been updated on the Haunted Mansion Event compensation that I was told would be given out if the event was not fixed for the players who got bugged. And I have nothing much left to do and I'm about to go to bed anyways so hell yeah I'm going to rant on the forums, why not if I have the time?

First, i'm going to point to the fact that i'm not defending nexon, so much as the process of troubleshooting issues, as I stated in my later post. If you don't do it, you just won't get it. Theres no nicer way to say it than that. Plus, the easiest card I didn't want to pull but you seem to be missing it, so I will. It's a free game. Cut. Dry. A free game that owes you and everyone else absolutely nothing. Do we like hearing that? No. But that's the way it is. Every single player could never pay a cent again, and the game would run, until it dies (because that's the nature of these things) but you'd never pay a cent.

You aren't going to make some stand by coming onto the forums and saying nexon sucks for extending maintenance. They aren't choosing to. This isn't some disconnect between the players wishes and the wishes of nexon. They'd have it up right now if they could. But they are working on it. And you, as a free to play player (whether you've spent 0 dollars or 10,000) can do nothing but wait.

Your point about the Nexon staff is good and valid. So you (figurative you, I mean everyone) should push to try and get some communication on the matter with Nexon directly, instead of just bashing them. Constructive though, not destructive.

And the comparison to Blizzard is off-base. First on Blizzard, they frequently have huge issues when releasing new expansions (for wow specifically). And second, a company that has been surviving off of a large Subscription player base, several buy to play player bases, and a couple free-to-play player bases dabbled in there is nowhere near comparable to Nexon. A much better comparison is Warframe. Where, when maintenance and updates hit, even humongous game updates you've been waiting MONTHS AND MONTHS for... pushed 1 and a half days on inarguably it's biggest update at that time.
The biggest difference was communication. The website, and several developers twitters accounts were constantly giving players words of hope. We're working on it! Over and over again, but it at least showed they cared. That's something Nexon doesn't do. That is what is inexcusable about how Nexon handles things. But maintenances, updates, etc run long, and as a free to play game and player, you should accept that fact. It is not about 'enabling' Nexon in the future, it's about the way it is and no amount of protesting or however else you spin it will change that.


A free game that still makes a ton more than a bunch of other paid games.
I agree we should push more and people do try to push, but again they probably won't take any of the concerns people have seriously because they see other players say stuff on the forums like, "oh that's just typical nexon, just wait it out they are doing great". They are getting mixed signals from people, so at this point they probably don't feel like the over time is even an issue anymore. And to the Blizzard statement it was just something I saw another player post about on the forums in another post on here today so yeah not my words. And yeah Nexon has gotten extremely bad with communication and they fact they can't give us a ETA is sad. I actually feel like if enough players did voice their concerns something would change, but obviously that won't happen. I'm going to bed now I'm tired af night lol!
