As promised, here are some answers for all of you based on your questions. Most of these questions I've copy/pasted from your original posts in this thread, just for easy readability.

Q: How would EMS's Rebirth Flames and Additional Options be affected by the Migration?
A: Rebirth Flames were removed. Additional Options will be kept on items that already have it. However the Additional Options system will not be implemented in GMS.

Q: Will the EMS staff be working for GMS now or will they be put on other projects?
A: The EMS staff will not be working on GMS.

Q: Will GMS receive some world mergers in the near future? This is based on the conversation about Luna.
A: There are no plans at this time, or in the immediate future, for this sort of world merger. We are not completely ruling it out, though.

Q: Are any of the merged GMS servers located in the EU? Are there plans for this?
A: Currently, there are no GMS servers located in the EU, which is why we notified all EMS players regarding joining the world closest to your current region. We are not completely ruling out the possibility of servers being in the EU in the future.

Q: Will EMS old event items return, such as Dutch Kingsday or Piazza di Spagna, German beerfest ?
A: There are no plans right now to bring them back. However, in our future content and event planning, we will look into these EMS specific events to see which ones we can bring back. In short, it’s not out of the question and we want to include more global/international events as part of our event planning.

Q: Will there be a Reboot server in EU?
A: There will not be an EU Reboot server on Day 1 after the migration, but we are planning to add an EU Reboot server in the near future. We do not have a specific date at this time, and will provide everyone an update once this date is known.

Q: What happens to the rankings?
A: Any In-game rankings will reset. We’re planning to display website rankings on the Global MapleStory website. Rankings may change from what they were previously since only migrated users will be on the rankings.

Q: Adjustments to the language filter?
A: We made adjustments to the language filter during GMS v177 update to be less restrictive during normal chatting. We plan to make more adjustments during the next game update.

Q: Will we be adding other language sections to the forums?
A: Potentially, based on population needs. We have non-English language sections on some of our other titles as well that have localized versions of their game.

Thanks for the answers, its much appreciated.

Luckily for us, Michael has seen this request and forwarded it internally. We are still waiting for an answer, but at least we know that NexonNA has been made aware that we would like more accessibility to the boss

Oh my bad, I never go into the CS proper and don't look at the CS updates. I forgot that the 20k NX was for a triple pet package.

I think 4k is a good price personally, but I think you will have better luck appealing to Nexon if the price is the same as a regular perm pet package, which would be about 11-12K NX then. Or perhaps going for 7-8K NX each, that way buying 3 of them (for 3 perm pets) would cost as much as a 3 pet perm pet package.

Like I said, I would like to see this be sold for 4k NX, but I think that Nexon will be more open to the idea if the price is raised to one of the two prices I listed here.

And yes I expect fires to come for a while, but hopefully after they are all put out it will free up a lot of resources at NexonNA to work on bug fixes and implement often requested content

You're such an optimist.

Once the fires are put out, we'll be in the same situation we were, say, a year ago, before the migration was initiated. Did they have the resources to fix bugs or implement oft-requested content then? No. So why do you think they'll have them now? All resources freed up at NexonEU will be let go. As I said before, I believe the whole purpose of the migration is to reduce operating costs in the West, not keep the same costs and make happier users.

I try to be, though its hard, very hard, sometimes. But even beyond just operating costs in the West, it should be easier for Nexon as a whole to focus on GMS now. After all they will have one less version of the game to support. One less version of the game with bugs coming in. One less version of the game that is requesting features and content. Should be easier overall for the devs. Hopefully at least

It is annoying. Luckily, this event has become an annual one so we should be seeing it again next year. If you wish to change this and be guaranteed at least a gold Grim (thats the mage one?) totem each time though, go support @Akradian suggestion for diligence backstops to RNG events like this one
