    Nexon is famous for banning other regions than US and Canada, so it might not be so much of a good thing.

    Nexon, I know how it works... same as PWI, idiotic updates that most of the time do not fix anything, sales sales and more sales, players QQ in their forums and they do not even reply to them, and so on~

    Guess it's the perfect match, YOU CAN KISS THE WIFE! b:cute

    ^^^ THIS. PWE is completely, absolutely, 100% independent of Wanmei, Nexon, and whatever this new ish is. All they do is pay money to them to be able to have exclusive rights to have an official server presence in the US and apparently France and Germany. >_>

    If, say, you wanted to make PWUK, you could license it and go through Wanmei and voila, all new players in the UK would be required to use your server for an official update provided server, you would be IP banned from PWE. You'd have a (convoluted, but existant) line to the Devs, direct, official updates from Wanmei, and (probably no) forewarning of future updates and content. May also have options for suggesting future content and patches.

    >_> Don't assume that ANY news pertaining to Wanmei involves, impacts, or in any way, shape, or form effects PWE or our version of the game in a positive way.

    If anything, the company will be diverting even more resources away from PWE translations, patches, and future content and into new projects.

    PWI WAS a flagship game for Wanmei 2-3 years ago. The Flagship has Sunk, thar.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Doubt koreans would play whatever they're releasing over there. The only game they play is Starcraft. o.o
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    Meanwhile in the Evil Online Gaming Corporation headquarters on some skull-shaped island in the middle of the atlantic ocean:

    Nexon: How about we charge money...
    PWE: But we already-
    Nexon: ...for everything.
    PWE: Brilliant!

    *diabolical laughter ensues*

    Nexon is famous for breaking stuff when "fixing" other stuff. After every update they do, servers are crashing, players get locked out of their accounts and experience various crashes. They've only gotten worse and worse at managing stuff.

    Nexon hugely fails as a company, their games also suck, guess it's a perfect match.

    Ew. I quit Maplestory because of their money-grubbing (it's worse than PWI) and now the two evil companies combine.
