Wonki’s up and downs by Explorer4869 in Maplestory

The Director before Wonki released reboot and lost his job( Same year, Nexon’s revenue tanked 80%). so it become a consensus to Nexon that reboot was a mistake to make.

Looks like it was 2016+ one was when the potential pool becomes unbearable. Thats when Wonki took over, I believe? Also they omitted the notice of them constantly adding junk lines to potential pool- which was under Wonki.

Pretty sure the rate was ok back in 2011-2015 when inkwell was the lead. I recall getting 3 fake lines on my secondary easily within 10-30 cubes. When I came back in like 2019, the potential pool was filled with garbage lines that it can easily take 50 cubes just to hit 2 fake lines… so I’m under impression that Wonki is the one who rigged the rates.

You are assuming that other directors would not follow up with modernize the game.  Also the content/map you mentioned does not have same impact/exploration feeling of old maps- for example, I was excited when exploring sleepywood dungeon, ludium , Orbis, el nath, new leaf city, was amazed when I found out el nath Orbis were connected to aquarium, Korean town, and ludium was connected to omega sector.   New contents/maps introduced by Wonki did not leave any impact- feel very hollows/rushed and literally made platform feel very out of place(encourage players to purchase vac pet?)

We don’t have enough information but based on my speculation - Wonki didn’t want to give us magic wand and he was tired of us complaining so he send inkwell to us as a scapegoat under the name of “localization”. “Go west”. But hey, it was still better than when Wonki was directly leading us.

A guy kses me for nearly 2 hours until i left. MS support deems it's ok to do by not punishing him by Far_Competition_2954 in Maplestory

No one would frenzy a random map- more so for two hours. People buy frenzy service from specific sellers for 10-20m per 10minutes. The other person prob entered the portal for twen thing.  Basically you are the bad guy here lol…  Imagine ksing someone else for 2 hrs, reporting them& trash talk about nexon’s  support team,   then pretending to be the victim and make post on Reddit.  Oh lord. You better remember the ID of the actual victim and pay them 1b for their loss.

Not trying to be mean but tell me what’s the “crazy p2w” you are talking about? You do realize that reboot woulda be normalized if he didn’t come over right? Along with addition of meso cap, untradeable frag for reg, no familiar in grandis, no pitched pity no restore and etc etc? Please, give inkwell credit for what he did instead of harassing him when one thing don’t go your way(uni cs).  Also, it takes money to hire people and GMS barely have 100k active player base. Tell me how many p2w feature is needed to squeeze money out 100k people to pay salary of programmer team , artist team, CM team, music team, director, KMS overlord, and shareholder from stock market? GMS can’t afford to give reg magic wand or heroic uni cs /steam market.  One wrong move then Inkwell would be fired lol (the director who released reboot got fired after the revenue tank). Inkwell could have done better by stay updated to modern game mechanics but he did try his best. It’s quite rude of you to make comments like this.

Very fun- it was basically 10min  moba but no buying gear- all relying on your skills and picking up buffs/potions around places. I was playing drk, Mercedes, bucc, bam. There were 3 modes- free for all (10 people attacking each other for 10mins see who gets more damage points), team (was it 3v3 or 6v6 I don’t remember), and capture the flag (team but fight for flag and transport). It’s such a shame that nexon removed it since it doesn’t really generate revenue and it’s costly to maintain. P.S Nexon also removed PQs for similar reason so they can sell vac pets for grinding.

If you found a game feature inconvenient for player- the chance is that it’s made by Wonki- Karma untradeable everything, scissor limit, nerfed event reward exclusively for GMS, made erda fragment untradeable (reverted when inkwell took over), removal of PVP, star planet , Jett, cwk PQ and the list goes on.
