People from all america (idk about Brazil) still can create accounts for GMS.
People just keep calling it GMS because that's been its name for the pass 6 or 7 years. But it should be called AMS.
Considering there are likely a few people on Southperry that do remember the times during beta that we did actually have a regional map screen to choose which server to join. Considering the fact that while gMS is technically older in terms of release time; both gMS & MapleSEA have the distinction of being from the same relative period in beta testing with a single codebase that had a nice little divergence. Feel free to chime up if you have a little more to add off my post in historical terms.
