CarrionCrow Wrote:No. They specifically told the old non-americans that they were welcome to keep playing on their accounts, and they have had and still do have options to charge NX from outside of the states. That was the reason they added PayByCash as an option in the first place.
Their main focus group is americans, no argument there, but it is too much of a leap to adopt the stance that the rest of us have no place at all. Myself, I don't ask for Nexon to do anything special for me as a european veteran player, but I do abore how parts of the community fail to understand that a fat part of the community is not from the states. For gods sake, take a trip through FM or LHC and see how much spanish you see. And most of us refrain from using our native language in open chat since it is unpolite.

Rayquaza2233 Wrote:Yes, but in the eyes of Nexon America, you don't belong here since you have your own version ~_~

tbh the only real way of knowing "do they accept our money" is if they sell Karma Koin for GMS in your area.

Satellite Wrote:I wonder if you would be the one laughing, if gMS servers would be in Europe, new accounts made from USA would be all blocked, all events and content would be optimized for European timezone, you couldn't buy NX with PayPal because of your location, NX cards were not sold in your country and PvP would be one laggy hellhole. All your characters and items, years of hard work were in gMS, but Nexon wanted you to go play MapleStory USA, game that's overrun by hackers(even more than gMS) and centuries behind in content.

Back when I started, I'm willing to bet that about half of the players were from outside the US. Some have moved to eMS, maybe. But many more have quitted this game alltogether. And hell, for some countries, there just isn't any version besides gMS.

So please. At least try to put yourself in my shoes >_>

EDIT:
I'm not suggesting Nexon to make events for European times. I'm suggesting to make events available for all timezones. It isn't even hard. Make 2x event coupons and put a daily limit on getting Honor Points from Azwan.

Why can't Nexon NA do this? Because all they can do is copy-paste content from Korea, which are made for a single timezone.

CarrionCrow Wrote:People really need to stop acting like Global is filled only with US people! I wont go around pulling numbers out of my arse like some, but it is plain incorrect to brush aside the non US community as small.
Also, fact is, it was the global version for years before closing the doors, and they DID let people with accounts stay unblocked when they changed their focus. That creates a responsibility since they do accept our money, no matter how much some asshats want to claim lolNexonAm-sucks-to-be-u-lol.

CarrionCrow Wrote:Yes, I do get that they are not mostly from Spain, but Central America and South America is not North America either.

Tristan Wrote:Can't Nexon just say it's from 2-8 PM and make Maple detect your IP address / location and give you the EXP depending on where you live?

I can see the problems with people using hotspot shields, but... obviously put a 6 hour restriction every 24 hrs. per acc.

Satellite Wrote:Saying it again,

Many PQs are already limited to 10 times/day. Put a similar limit on Honor Points. Problem solved.
