Guess working on FFXI Reboot for 10 years and MapleStory 2 bombing is finally killing them

Nexon has been trying to sell itself to American companies for years now, but none of them want to invest in an entirely South Korean company.

good.
its time for shovelware to die

Riders of Icarus was fun about 3 years ago

What's this about epic7?

Darkages

no shit, MMOs are dying. Even gooks must be growing tired by now

Welp. There goes that mobile FFXI I was waiting for.

People have tried to buy a few of their properties off of them, but apparently Korean businesses find that sort of thing taboo (a failed product becoming successful under a new company is apparently too humiliating), so they'd rather let that stuff languish. And I hear that newer stuff like Rocket Arena is getting dropped.

jewxon is finally succumbing to its own cancerous practices

they had the most lucrative MMO ever and turned it all to shit because they couldn't deal with their insatiable greed

MapleStory makes bank in Korea, Taiwan, and Chinkland. It sucks everywhere else.

Mabinogi was fantastic but got shittier and shittier as time passed, also they had no idea what they did right with it since the Mabinogi 2 they tried to push before giving up on it was an absolute shitshow that looked nothing like the original.

>you lived long enough to see mmos die
A good feeling.

I want to love Maplestory because of the cuteness and the great music, but I'm constantly reminded of the horrible gameplay and the shitty business practices behind them.
I can't help but feel bad for MS2 though, since the American team was trying really hard to remove the Pay 2 Win.

Maybe someday they can make a good game that doesn't have scummy tactics. If not, I hope that the cute art and the musicians find their home somewhere else.

Nexon's finally realizing that making and releasing 5-6 games a year isn't viable. They're trimming the fat moreso than failing financially. Maplestory, kart rider, and of course dnf, the most popular game in the world, are moneymaking machines and would hold the company up even if they got rid of every single other game in their catalog. Last year nexon released a few real big bombs, namely:
>Ascendant One: MOBA with greek mythology as a basis for it's lore, but all the characters are waifus, died after 3 months on market
>Peria Chronicles: Received such abysmal ratings during it's cbt that they're now reworking the entire game top to bottom (though it may have been canned now unsure)
>about 8 mobile games, including an official hard launch of Durango, overHIT, AxE, shitton of other games that are all past the tipping point on mobile and are no longer v iable
>maplestory 2 after years was finally released in the global market just so it could fail like it did literally everywhere else in the world it's been released so far

This is a good thing. The company's been posting profits since last year with the 15th anniversary for maplestory skyrocketing it up above league of legends for a very brief period in pc방 popularity.

Nexon america hasn't been relevant of profitable in well over a decade though, still don't understand why they exist when all the games that are still running in the west are totally ruined by bots and other garbage and filled with p2w.

>15th anniversary for maplestory skyrocketing it up above league of legends for a very brief period in pc방 popularity
what the fuck

It was literally a week, but it had something close to 27% marketshare. As in, 27% of all people logging in at a pc방 in korea that week? They were playing maplestory. League usually has around 35%, overwatch around 9-12%, maplestory 4-6, then it scales down from there, massive fluctuations in the top five from dnf to kart rider being popular this year because it had it's own 15th anni celebration, all sorts of other stuff.

People don't seem to understand nexon is in control of the gaming market in korea. Look at the top 10 and like 7 of the titles are fucking nexon owned every time.

>korean MMO
GunZ

Mabinogi was my favorite game but they completely ruined it because all recent content absolutely requires cash shop purchases to have a chance to survive, or you can enjoy grinding for literal months only to find out your gear still isn't enough.
I hope they burn for running it into the ground. Itll hurt to lose my characters and stuff but I can live with it.

what the fuck does MapleStory offer besides a grind
KMS doesn't even have the QoL stuff does it

I liked Aion when it came out :^)

I still have no idea what they were even thinking with gen 4.
>What does this story-based mmo need?
>A huge region full of fucking NOTHING with no story quests and nothing to do
>Not even any music outside of dungeons
Anytime you have to travel to Iria in that game it's a fucking chore.

What is DNF?

I wish they'd sell the rights to someone rather than letting it slowly die then we never see it ever again

Dungeon n' Fighter
Known as Dungeon Fighter Online in the west.

DFO

That's NCSoft.

KMS is in a weird spot because you don't have things that are almost impossible to imagine the game without in GMS. Like the gollux accessories, and totems and kishin. But that also means the game's economy isn't inflated (Also due in part to the company actually caring, policing, and patrolling the game to remove most larger chinese bot networks. I'd never claim they don't exist but you'll have to actually look to find one, they're not just out there using kami vac), and also that some content you'd never touch on gms is worth doing every day. Namely a lot of the endgame content. GMS is coming into those growing pains as they try desperately to bring the game's power creep under control to make shit like beating the fucking black mage worth doing as opposed to just going and grabbing your sengoku high/gse badge. Of course they just up and fucking removed them which made no one happy, but you get the point i'm driving at.
KMS has a more stable economy in normal servers, meaning they're a much more preferable choice to reboot. No kanna (and more importantly no non-kms maps where you get the increased meso/exp rates without the monsters having reboot health) makes meso grinding on reboot Demon Avenger or bust.
I could go on and on for hours. But that grind you mentioned is a large reason why people like it. It's a grind. It's simple, there's nothing trying to be more than it is.

The best western comparison I have in mind is runescape, really. In the early 2000s you went for quests and maybe to reach a level of power where you could do kalphite queen with your buds. maple is pretty similar. You grind to reach the next storyline content in a more linear fashion, and aim to boost your power to do more bosses. Usually solo.

Name a Korean MMO that wouldn't be improved with a sub fee and no cash shop.
Protip: you can't.

Maplestory, Mabinogi, Combat Arms, Vindictus, That one fighting MMO.
You'll notice a pattern with all of these, is that they all started off god tier, and they slowly became worse and worse as Nexon continued to meddle with them.
It's Nexon's curse that every game they make will be great when it comes out, only to heavily degrade in quality over the next few years

They've got wow servers set up on their closed internet system. Provided to them by actiblizz.

Reminder that just because a game is online only with community features that doesn't mean it's an MMO. MMO means large persistent game world that everyone shares at once. Please stop calling games like Gunz MMOs and DFO MMOs.

I've liked a few of their MMOs but usually at a certain point it gets shit and performance is always dreadful.

kwonho wasn't nexon it was NHN, and NHN killed kwonho long before they got bought by nexon (really the only thing nexon even kept from the nhn acquisition was DNF.) I think he's probably talking about vindictus even though it's not a fighting game. Maybe elsword I guess could be confused for a fighting game.

just put maplestory 1 on consoles you incompetent fucks, there is a huge game drought, now is your chance.

People will eat it up and spend tons on microtransactions, just do it cowards

Which one was that?

I think it already exists in two forms; Kiwi Farms and Dramatica. They're both browser based though.

It's still on the nexon pipeline every quarter, meaning it's still in active development.
Stuff like moonlight blade's international release got shitcanned though.
blame ntreev for that one. Nexon literally got that thing in an absolutely disastrous state when ntreev folded, they'd pumped it so full of fucking p2w garbage that there was no way to fix it, they just let it ride.

Maplestory, but eventually became horse shit with the sudden power creep and amass of whales

Nexus or Darkages?

Why did I read that as North Korea

It's fine, not a banger they wanted but still better than most MMOs nowadays.
It seems like having 1k players is okay in today's market for a lot of mmos. As long as they make money and still make content there's no reason to shutdown.
What sucks though about nexon games is they have a very dedicated base and they only play nexon games so they use the nexon launcher instead of steam. So getting player metrics is hard and their games always seem much worse than they are cause of steamcharts

it was fucked the moment ndoors brought in oriharukon stones. that just set the greed seed for the fuckers that took it over.

Off-topic but is there a cancer greater than being on the stock market? Most problems in most game companies can be traced to boomer stockholder idiots who have never played games having decisions in game companies. I know being on the stock market means loads of money but is it really worth it?

MMO's are a dead genre. Only 30 year old boomers still play them.

Seriously, just fucking release it over here.

I’m 27 and still play them. Was playing them from when I was 13.

lost ark is being worked on for global release, they're trying to determine how they can make it more p2w since the west has no control on people making dozens of accounts, and it'll turn into bot city after just a short while so they want to make as much cash as possible.

Moonlight blade got scrapped for international release, it performed very poorly in korea and is on the verge of shutting down (I'd be surprised if it made it through 2020). Chinese version is doing alright but that's solely on the benefit of it being chinese developed.

I liked Tera.

Combat arms getting ruined was CA EU fault.
Combat arms was created in Korea, then maintained by CA NA after the the beta ended because it was popular in the west.

Nexon moved all the CA NA devs to dirty bomb, putting CA EU in charge, they introduced the rental system, censored the game, told everyone that spent a cent in the game to fuck off and no refunds, fucked up QR and fireteam, fucked up exp rates, fucked up speed gear, fucked up specialist balance, and made "reloaded".
After all that everyone stopped playing, game was no longer profitable and closed.
Later on Dirty bomb devs bought the game from Nexon and left.

Sweeden devs are a mistake.

VALOFE bought the game later on and is running it in shit servers for cheap so they are making a profit from it so it will run for a while.

it was a one off license for the game, and originally it was meant to be an mmofps, but neople is a garbage dev studio that doesn't know how to make games that aren't just gachashit like dfo.

Also, japan got fucktons more updates and content for GITS online, like ridable tachikomas. america never got it cause they couldn't monetize it.

Yeah but they always fuck it up later for shekel jewry

Well, at least the Japanese got something decent out of it then.

That and a so-so SFM model.

It was pretty popular even in japan, and in the west it was financially viable, but they shut it down because it wasn't growing, it was just stable.

Then we got lawbreakers and hyper universe (lol).

I played LT for a long time, and fuck off you are wrong and never made it to endgame a single time, much less made 3 235s like I did on the new official server. It has the shittiest collision detection of any game I've ever played, enjoy teleporting off the side of a platform because the server decided you missed a jump even though your screen showed you landing on the platform 2 seconds before teleporting you into a deathpit. It has far too many problems to ever be considered "good".

Thanks for the massive write up.

wrong, reboot is more fun than main servers and the only thing that would make it better is forcing SSF and changing PQs to be 1 player-able.

Something about those old korean MMO OSTs always gives me a fluffy feeling inside.

DJMax

bros what do I do. this thread is making me want to play vindictus again.
bros.. it's not the same but the itch never goes away

DFO isn't going to last another month.

Only in funding and publishing.

>bros.. it's not the same but the itch never goes away
I know user. After all these years and i still haven't felt the same excitement playing other online games as i did when i carried 3 of my teammates through Succubus Queen, essentially soloing her. Damn i loved my Arisha.

Are there private servers for instanced games like DFO and Vindictus? Because I've never found any.

Jesus I remember playing that game back in middle school

>Mobile gacha intensifies
Ah shit bro

>Vindictus
There are, they're not up to date though

Just scratch that itch user I went and made a new character in mabi and I'm still enjoying it

No the giant player character

sell if all off minus MapleStory and then make a MapleStory Classic. I wanna go home bros.

Lineage was the peak of MMO, in KR is still top of the charts

as someone who constantly goes back to private servers, you don't want this.

Heroes of Incredible Tales. Then they ruined it. Basically they dumbed it down with each new major update until it played like every other cookie cutter mobile ARPG.

fucking classic nigger i swear, like motherfuckers talking about their time in Ragnarok... stupid people.

I miss this janky game, feels so dead and full of bots when I play it now

Lineage 2 from C1 to Interlude was peak mmorpg. WoW kiddies don't even realize what they missed. It was like EVE Online but with a fantasy setting and actual gameplay instead of spreadsheet autism. A true mmorpg experience.

>that name
Well fucking played user.

Lineage 2
Granada Espada

>dfo
>pserver

how would that even work

f2p and p2w in general have become so saturated, it's no longer worth the ROI risk unless you're guaranteed top dog (Blizzard/Hearthstone, Clash/Supercell, Sony/GranBlue, etc.)

Between this and lootbox litigation, we are approaching the gaming renaissance at last.

>Granado Espada
mmm you could upgrade your npc party member?

>Sony/GranBlue
Sony doesn't own Granblue, Cyberagent does. You're thinking of Aniplex (Sony Music) and FGO.

it's still gonna get infested with endgame niggers with no sense/value of community engagement.

Pangya
Too bad Japan killed it.

This. Me and my friends used to play the shit out of Combat Arms during college. Good times.

probably extraordinarily well if there's no fucking faggot stamina bar.

>FF14: buy to play + sub costs, early game is horrendous
>Classic WoW: rose colored glasses the game
>TERA/Vindictus/BnS: dead except at the highest levels where you have to grind forever
>BDO: grind forever to get better at grinding forever
>Astellia: super generic at everything, 30 dollar price tag

fucking what? the korean version's f2p.

You know the game could've been so much better if not mishandled horribly by nexon and held back by its pay model.

The insecto*ds with their shoddy workmanship.

Yes even though its F2P over there, it's going to be pay 2 play over here. The current founder pack shits are 40+ dollars

I just want a massive COOP game instead a MMO.

that is hilarious. the game also sucks so I pity anyone who buys in. It's bless all over again. hype for nothing.

so you want a massive multiplayer game?

>delay the game indefinitely two days before release because of "localization issues"
>one week later this nexon financial shit starts cropping up
>one month later layoffs left and right
I wish EA could have localization issues like these

>People excited for SinOALice
Take it from someone who played JP at launch. The game is really shit. Taros name can't carry the fucking game and its shit rates and "gameplay".

starcraft

it's what they deserve after destroying pic related

who the fuck thought shakespeare was a good idea for an mmo expansion what the fuck you guys.

Attached: mabinogi.jpg (800x600, 148K)

You are talking to the guys who approved big bang.

This won't affect maplestory because it actually makes a lot of money and is popular in korea

nooooooooo not nexon

G9-12 was kino going from a nobody to a guy who defeats a god
G13-14 was ok? Shakespeare as the first milletian was kinda a weird move
G15 was portia/10 the confession at the end was heartwarming
G16 is pure and utter shit the only redeeming thing was the QT princess and her infatuation with (you)

>It's Nexon's curse that every game they make will be great when it comes out, only to heavily degrade in quality over the next few years

Big fucking facts

>shakespeare was a good idea for an mmo expansion
that sounds awesome though

old mmos had a lot of soul in their presentation and ost. even gameplay ideas
youtube.com/watch?v=Ci1eZPhhr2M

It was fine when they kept the plays on the in-universe stage in their wierd interdimensional theater, but when they tried to incorporate shakespeare into the lore of the world it all just fell apart. the macbeth chapter is the absolute worst and nobody can tell my otherwise. Then when they tried to go back to the older lore, they bastardize a bucnh of the old characters and make a brown titty witch this all-powerful being for some fucking reason.

I miss C1 and G8+C3.
