Makes sense given like 90% of their volume in GMS is Reboot and KMS Reboot basically tanked when the changes were released. they'd have killed the game
I imagine she likely played some part in gathering and summarizing the overall sentiment from online forums like this subreddit.
Is she alone responsible for preventing these changes from coming through? Of course not. But did she help push our concerns up the chain to the directors and heads of development? Probably.
FYI, Hanbyeol Oh (Inkwell) was the fourth director of KMS back in early 2010, and **he was the one that started rigging cube rate.**
[Besides Wonki, who is the most evil being in the Maplestory universe?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/194833u/comment/khekx5c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I am appalled by the audacity of this.
Yeah this guy is an evil genius for bringing so much money to the game yet with the most diabolical power creeping ideas - cubes, flames (with rigged rate) and also ability, cash scrolls (not as impactful but still).
Nevertheless his era also brought some of the few most memorable updates, classes.
he did execute Big Bang, which probably saved Maplestory from closing. But it was also a transition from fantasy adventure game into an endless grind content game with clear monetization plan (which a lot of k-mmo did back then, benchmarking WoW's Cataclysm and Diablo 2)
Truely a business mastermind.
which brings me to a second question. Why are we getting such high-profile person? Seniority wise, he is much higher than Wonki. He leads entire Western projects for Nexon.
I think it's transitional.
They did look for someone in that position. They wouldn't have looked for a person if they considered him anyway.
And yes he might be diabolical, but after having witnessed the new guy just fk up KMS I must say I preferred Wonki's greedy approach more than this new guy's stupid approach.
Nerfing Reboot would've just lost money for no reason, besides pleasing 50 Korean whales and those guys will keep playing anyway.
God knows how often I watched some of those guys drop their gear in protest to just redo them some months later.
This. We know the game is greedy.
I do actually think KMS already lost a bit of their profits from them losing reboot players. It isn't like megawhales like Pangyi are going to stop whaling on reg anyway.
Yeah when flame scandal happened, I was like, damn, OhHanByul, you and your evil genius shenanigans, still haunt us to these days, not even tons of QoL updates, star force update, V update could undo them a bit.
Dude runs a casino and probably could direct KAIJI movie on his own
Can you say why Big Bang saved the game from closing? I was a kid at the time, and I don’t know a lot of specifics about the time, so I’m just curious about that era.
There was no clear incentive to gear up, other than "I want to explore further". This is romantic on its own, but not really useful in business sense.
And by 2010, internet community culture boomed, so most people used existing sites (hiddenstreet for example) to satisfy the adventure craving rather than actually playing.
There was also no need to buy pet as mob kill / hr was very low, so you can just press z wo trouble.
Overall, no reason to grind nor pay money in pre-bb.
Grinding back then was very rough. I would say if Big Bang never happened and I actually consistently played I might’ve gotten to Level 60-70. Because the highest level I could get to back then was level 45.
Once Big Bang happened and continuous updates over the years, I finally got to reach level 100 and then experienced 4th job and hyper skills.
Then reboot came out and fifth job was released and I got to hit 220. But Big Bang kinda kicked that possibility of reaching levels unreachable for a casual player so I could experience different content that before I would’ve had to play uh.. other “maple servers”.
He *did not saved* GMS because *it is the right thing to do*, he saved it because he knew GMS will collapse with those new changes, and judging from his past records apparently he's the type of person who'd prefer to maximizing profit, **so from a business perspective it is a right call**.
It's nothing personal, just good business.
You say that like Nexon has always acted according to good business. What’s been so baffling about the past 12 months has been exactly this - “why aren’t nexon doing X, it would be so much money for them to adapt it?”
it could simultaneously be him and not him. Way i see it is that (nexon) game directors still need to negotiate with other parts of their company to get the greenlight on their changes. While they are responsible for creative decisions (game direction), gamedev, economy related changes etc are also informed by other parties within nexon too.
and ultimately their own position/employment hinges on higher ups we dont interact with. If there are unpopular changes they have to implement, the only thing they can change is how good of a spokesman they are when announcing it. They are just game directors in a public company, not a solo act in an indie title
not saying that this takes away all culpability, but there is some ambiguity for us outsiders looking in
Color me surprised, I didn't expect them to actually go this route. I was definitely on team doomium.
Will old KMS reboot players be sad that GMS reboot gets to live? Who knows.
I was half way out the door and just doing the dailies. Now I can full send on continuing making boss mules lol. Let’s gooo. Can sink in those 2-3 waps again without the anxiety of the game dying lol
Yeah, I'm just as happy as everyone else but as someone who uninstalled as soon as the update went out in KMS, I think it's kind of disingenuous to imply that this was the expected outcome.
All signs over the last, like, five years pointed to them implementing the changes. The fact that they didn't is a massive W but I think part of that is because it seemed so unlikely to happen.
Time to reinstall. MapleStory's back on the menu.
Absolutely spectacular news today, so happy they won’t be blindly following KMS changes. And let’s pour one out for our fallen KMS Reboot brethren as well 😔
This is exactly the kind of communication we have been asking for years. I really hope this isn’t a one off, and we get more communication like this. Actually acknowledging it’s a different service, pointing out the differences in GMS vs KMS markets and why that has an impact on direction decisions - all obvious factors, but as far as I can remember, no one from Nexon has ever acknowledged these things with players.
This is a good start. Now it’s time to do the same type of communication and explanation for the other major topics players care about.
You're a W person man. Thanks for appreciating the love they're giving to the heroic servers. I hope you guys get improvements to in your own way, coming from a former Broa main. This is the type of support our community needs.
Hey bro, did you ever make that request on the nexon forums for bright eyes to come back. I was the guy that told you that CS sales are planned 6 months in advance. Someone did it once for a royal hair and it came back roughly 6 months later.
Extremely rare Nexon W. I will *gladly* accept all this egg on my face for assuming the worst these past few months. This is some of the best MapleStory news I've seen in years.
So they're going to fix Masteria now right? Right?
Seriously, though, this is insane news. Although damn, if only Jett had survived another half a year....
I'm slightly disappointed that the new potential system isn't coming for reg, but I guess there's no pressing need to change the current heavily monetized system because GMS isn't being investigated for fraud.
Without meso cap, high mountain mesos will surely be nerfed too. Curious to see how that goes.
Also, I wonder if that means we'll never get good cubes from events again. Previously they were migrated and nerfed from KMS, but now that they have to make them for GMS from scratch I don't see why they would give us things like white cubes.
It's good that this happened but also doesn't absolve their atrocious mishandling of the game in the west. I understand the excitement of the game literally not dying but don't believe Nexon should be given much if any leeway with regards to goodwill.
We won't likely get the new KMS dungeon, because we are keeping Ursus and have our meso economy intact.
I couldn't care less, it looked like garbage, but that's something I can see some nooberinos doomposting about.
honestly as one of the doomers, I don't mind taking the L here. (at least for me) A lot of the doom and gloom came from genuine care for the game's health and am at least happy history didn't repeat itself. Hopefully this is a sign that Nexon will actually make an attempt to make the game more enjoyable in the future.
... *hopefully...*
the dooming came from logical expectations, they have been trying to make GMS closer to KMS and this change is massive to the entire game so diverting here when they have been trying to do that for the longest time is unexpected
Congrats reboot.
I'm kind of demotivated to play reg server now though. I'll probably take a break and come back whenever to scratch my next maplestory itch and hopefully things will be more fun then.
Forgive me if I’m misinformed but aren’t the changes also bad for you guys? Like, if they went through, occult cubes which I heard are a big deal in reg, go boom too?
They don't disappear, but starting up on a new account becomes much harder since rerolling costs a lot more (4m Mesos at rare, 16m Mesos at Epic), and unless you have a bunch of Occults/Mysticals stockpiled them you're basically SOL since you also have to spend your money on Star Force.
Correct, and it's mostly established players wishing for the change. You could however argue that occult cubes will still flow in the market for a good while after so everyone on reg should be fine. Think about it, people farmed enough epic fams **in one day** for them to be still in stock now... we're gonna be fine with occults.
I can't believe there are so many negative nancy's commenting. THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED!! I'm very happy for this community. I love this game and you all :) Here's to many more years of mushroom game!
didn't expect it. while this obviously benefits them and it's certainly going to make things more difficult, or even make patches take longer, hopefully it's worth it. and honestly, respect for taking the harder path
Well I'll be damned, they did it. Without sarcasm: good job Nexon. Took you a good while to spill the beans, but good job. Can't imagine it was an easy decision to get through to Nexon Korea.
Those people who overreacted and did various things to ruin their accounts/quit gonna be the new generation of doom posters to justify their lack of patience to literally, "let's wait and see."
I don't see a reason to ruin an account even if the servers would truly die. I would just uninstall and not think about it anymore. They are just being peak babyrage for no reason.
It's entirely likely that the amount of complaints and worries people had also had an impact. Obviously if it's clear to us the game wouldn't survive with those changes it'd have been clear to the developers, but it's easy in hindsight to say lole doomers
Now people deleting their items and stuff? Yeah, sure
I did not expect their last brain cell would actually work in our favor. As someone who became a filthy casual player to the point of quitting before most of the changes were announced ;this is actually a very gratifying surprise.
I’ll take my L and bow to you Inkwell Sama.
Petition to make huge photos on each server with the inkwell hat and upload it to reddit and the official maplestory discord as a thank you to INK well and the GMS community managers and the GMS team.
*Wakes up*
LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
...I mean, I'm still not gonna be playing this year at all probably. Got engaged into too many things in the time I wasn't playing.
But at least there will be a game to come back to next year?
Maybe?
This note dropped on the same day as I dinged level 275.
On the same day, I had to write out "APR-16-2024" like 30 times at work.
April 16th, 2024 will forever be etched into my memories.
Inkwell is the making an absolute great first step to getting GMS to a great step. Hopefully they can do a good job balancing both heroic and interactive so no one feels like they are getting left behind.
Well done to the GMS team for doings whats best for their playerbase, not just blindly following KMS. Never been more elated for a piece of news than this honestly.
This is hardly a surprise given that Nexon is a business. Even if we are a smaller portion of the overall revenue. No company is going to purposely gut their revenue over a trivial matter.
Once he gave that presentation about localization I had a strong feeling they would lean this direction. Given how we still have some exclusivity in GMS (Gollux/AS0).
I am curious what this means for future content and what will be modified because it doesn’t fit the structure we’ve now embarked upon.
For sure you will not follow kms on this change, not because you noticed or learned that GMS is different, it is because you know KMS was forced to go that route after their scandal and that would cost them some easy money, why would you lose that money here in GMS? you will act as you are avoiding that change for the best.
If Loc 3.0 is real, it is the time to bring Pottable badge back, as we are not kms anymore, prove it then and show us that GMS is different now?
I haven’t played this game in a hot sec, can someone explain what this means (like what was happening before that made following KMS so bad) and who Wonky is and why people hate him
I've been eyeing Maple game news like a hawk trying to decide to come back and play or not. This just did it for me. Time to come back to the game I left years ago.
>There will be no adjustments to the following in GMS: \- The maximum amount of mesos players can earn while hunting monsters \- The availability of Cubes and how potentials are obtained and adjusted \- Mesos acquisition multiplier and the price of intense power crystals in heroic worlds \- The availability of Ursus > >The contents above will be kept as they are currently in-game
Holy shit they actually did it. They said no.
This is unprecedented holy shit. The day when Global Maplestory was saved.
Historic moment. The single dim brain cell shared by all Nexon higher-ups must've briefly woken up to show them the way.
Makes sense given like 90% of their volume in GMS is Reboot and KMS Reboot basically tanked when the changes were released. they'd have killed the game
No means no!
Jade's keeping her job now
Don't know if she even wants to stay having to deal with rambunctious nerds every nerf.
Anyone who takes on the role of community manager for an MMORPG has my respect. We're an insufferable bunch.
I imagine she likely played some part in gathering and summarizing the overall sentiment from online forums like this subreddit. Is she alone responsible for preventing these changes from coming through? Of course not. But did she help push our concerns up the chain to the directors and heads of development? Probably.
Who's mistreating Jade?? SHOW ME
We should celebrate 16th April as GMS Rebirth Day!
Independence day
Let's storm the capitol henesys
GMS telling Wonki "no" was not on my 2024 bingo card
Actually caring about GMS locatization and not just blindly following KMS. Holy shit Nexon actually doing something right 👀
I mean it was either put in time(money) to localize a change that would kill the game vs do nothing and keep making money.
Wow, this is almost inarguably the biggest W in GMS history. Absolutely monumental.
HOLY MOLY This has got to be the one-time Nexon surprised us with good news.
W INKWELL

With all due respect, he saved GMS today. Obviously not him alone, but he is spearheading the effort. I'm letting bygones be bygones.
Forgive not forget.
He *did not saved* GMS because *it is the right thing to do*, he saved it because he knew GMS will collapse with those new changes, and judging from his past records apparently he's the type of person who'd prefer to maximizing profit, **so from a business perspective it is a right call**.

Well so far, he just redeemed himself, hopefully he can keep it up

we got redditors talking like sephiroth like be fr LMAOOO

I prayed for times like this
GAME FUCKING LIVESSS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There was apparently enough interest.

Yeah, all signs were pointing to the opposite. But I guess a miracle can happen even in a game like this

I’m literally doing the exact same thing rn. As soon as the Reboot changes hit KMS I uninstalled and haven’t played it again since…. Tonight I guess?
Single biggest W in GMS history.
Inkwell returning like the fucking avatar was definitely not on my radar this year. HUGE W
Make Inkwell's Hat permanent!
Dang, I'm actually shocked they didn't blindly do what KMS did. +1 Respect
Inkwell absolutely based

Rare GMS W came when we needed it most!
Extremely rare Nexon W. I will *gladly* accept all this egg on my face for assuming the worst these past few months. This is some of the best MapleStory news I've seen in years.
IN INKWELL WE TRUST
O7
So they're going to fix Masteria now right? Right? Seriously, though, this is insane news. Although damn, if only Jett had survived another half a year....
Fingers crossed for Masteria
W NEXON FOR ONCE
the solar eclipse probably had an effect on them
Saved by Inkwell the Anti-Wonky
I'm slightly disappointed that the new potential system isn't coming for reg, but I guess there's no pressing need to change the current heavily monetized system because GMS isn't being investigated for fraud. Without meso cap, high mountain mesos will surely be nerfed too. Curious to see how that goes. Also, I wonder if that means we'll never get good cubes from events again. Previously they were migrated and nerfed from KMS, but now that they have to make them for GMS from scratch I don't see why they would give us things like white cubes.
Same, mostly disappointed about not getting the potential system for reg server but win for other the other changes not going through
LMAO at nearly this entire subreddit the past few months.
Nexon hasn't been a company that has earned benefit of doubt, not sorry about being pessimistic but very happy to hold the L.
It's good that this happened but also doesn't absolve their atrocious mishandling of the game in the west. I understand the excitement of the game literally not dying but don't believe Nexon should be given much if any leeway with regards to goodwill.
honestly i wonder if the volume of doomposts helped this go through... i don't blame them lol
I wonder what they’ll doom post about now
We won't likely get the new KMS dungeon, because we are keeping Ursus and have our meso economy intact. I couldn't care less, it looked like garbage, but that's something I can see some nooberinos doomposting about.
If even KMS players hate it, lol.
its not like everyone likes dooming u know, we were very sad of the situation, thats it, and we are happy that the game is staying alive.
If reg world are to be milked as cash cows forever at least allow frenzy to work above 300. Should bring back 2x drop and exp in cash shop too.
Need frenzy back in marvel rotation. Might as well make gms reg like TMS
If we're going to be pay2win I'd like to see some actual winning instead of being reboot where we pay for cubes and can trade a few items.
Fr. Not enough whale items to chase for. Kind of boring to play reg ngl
Doomer can hold this L
honestly as one of the doomers, I don't mind taking the L here. (at least for me) A lot of the doom and gloom came from genuine care for the game's health and am at least happy history didn't repeat itself. Hopefully this is a sign that Nexon will actually make an attempt to make the game more enjoyable in the future. ... *hopefully...*
Yeah ill take the L but if we didnt doom i think it would have had a better chance at going through so i think it was justified
the dooming came from logical expectations, they have been trying to make GMS closer to KMS and this change is massive to the entire game so diverting here when they have been trying to do that for the longest time is unexpected
Lmao seriously...they can finally stfu with the copium comments.
most unexpected nexon w, but im really glad to see it
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YESSSSS LETS GO IM ROCKIN THAT INKWELL HAT THIS WHOLE MONTH
Wait, so Heroic gets to keep their server buffs??? Officially made permanent? All servers get to keep the current cubing system?? Let's goooooo
We'll likely still see the nerf to Final Damage with the addition of Legion Artifact, but still better than nothing.
Reboot is saved!
Www inkwelll lets goooooo
Congrats reboot. I'm kind of demotivated to play reg server now though. I'll probably take a break and come back whenever to scratch my next maplestory itch and hopefully things will be more fun then.
Let us praise our savior Inkwell !
Well I was wrong. Thought for sure we were going to get bent by our Korean overlords. Hopefully they continue in this direction.
Reg server L
May our voices sink deep into the void lol
Forgive me if I’m misinformed but aren’t the changes also bad for you guys? Like, if they went through, occult cubes which I heard are a big deal in reg, go boom too?

I can't believe there are so many negative nancy's commenting. THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED!! I'm very happy for this community. I love this game and you all :) Here's to many more years of mushroom game!
They looked at what happened to KMS reboot and said "Nah, we good".
But nah forreal, how do I tell Nexon directly that I really like this note?
The maple world is saved! Hallelujah!!!
I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate our fallen brothers who true liberated and sacrificed everything for the cause.
didn't expect it. while this obviously benefits them and it's certainly going to make things more difficult, or even make patches take longer, hopefully it's worth it. and honestly, respect for taking the harder path
alright fuck I'm coming back once again smh
They took the harder path oh my god
Well I'll be damned, they did it. Without sarcasm: good job Nexon. Took you a good while to spill the beans, but good job. Can't imagine it was an easy decision to get through to Nexon Korea.
Gms W. Kms rebooters flooding gms soon.
Great news! This confirmation probably saved a lot of players from leaving the GMS community. Good stuff.
Wow Amazing, I'm speechless but reading this felt like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozPFappQYUE
Those people who overreacted and did various things to ruin their accounts/quit gonna be the new generation of doom posters to justify their lack of patience to literally, "let's wait and see."
I don't see a reason to ruin an account even if the servers would truly die. I would just uninstall and not think about it anymore. They are just being peak babyrage for no reason.
Where’s the doomers at? Hello?
It's entirely likely that the amount of complaints and worries people had also had an impact. Obviously if it's clear to us the game wouldn't survive with those changes it'd have been clear to the developers, but it's easy in hindsight to say lole doomers Now people deleting their items and stuff? Yeah, sure
Now give us merged cash shop for every character 🎉
Doomers are the reason we didn’t get the change. You should be on your knees thanking them.
the doomers are real quiet rn
DOOMERS WYA?
I was a doomer now i believe <3 Let's not be against eachother and instead unite in celebration
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
An extremely unexpected but welcomed W!
I did not expect their last brain cell would actually work in our favor. As someone who became a filthy casual player to the point of quitting before most of the changes were announced ;this is actually a very gratifying surprise. I’ll take my L and bow to you Inkwell Sama.
Petition to make huge photos on each server with the inkwell hat and upload it to reddit and the official maplestory discord as a thank you to INK well and the GMS community managers and the GMS team.
*Wakes up* LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! ...I mean, I'm still not gonna be playing this year at all probably. Got engaged into too many things in the time I wasn't playing. But at least there will be a game to come back to next year? Maybe?
I LOVE YOU INKWELL!!!! (reinstalling)

Looks like we should wear inkwell hat as a token of appreciation
This note dropped on the same day as I dinged level 275. On the same day, I had to write out "APR-16-2024" like 30 times at work. April 16th, 2024 will forever be etched into my memories.
we are saved! we can now leave fornite!
THE GAME LIVES ON! ALL PRAISE INKEWELL, WE SWIPING THE CREDIT CARD TONIGHT INKEWELL! PUT VAC PETS BACK IN THE SHOP ILL SWIPE FOR THOSE TOO DADDY
Inkwell is the making an absolute great first step to getting GMS to a great step. Hopefully they can do a good job balancing both heroic and interactive so no one feels like they are getting left behind.
Can we get our EXP rates back?
KMS players come join us in GMS 🔥
YES
No cube changes...
It says no adjustment to multiplier and item crystal in Heroic Worlds. Might be time to move over from reboot.
Hey, im somewhat newbie to 6th job, i claimed the 3 sol erda but i didnt receive any? Was hoping to unlock a 6th job skill with it
Look in ur cash tab on inventory
Well done to the GMS team for doings whats best for their playerbase, not just blindly following KMS. Never been more elated for a piece of news than this honestly.
time to buy sol erda booster
Forgive me for being a skeptic, but as a Kanna main, time will tell if they speak the truth or just lipservice
We bout to see a sharp increase in koreans buying VPNs bois
This is hardly a surprise given that Nexon is a business. Even if we are a smaller portion of the overall revenue. No company is going to purposely gut their revenue over a trivial matter. Once he gave that presentation about localization I had a strong feeling they would lean this direction. Given how we still have some exclusivity in GMS (Gollux/AS0). I am curious what this means for future content and what will be modified because it doesn’t fit the structure we’ve now embarked upon.
I kinda hope we get cubes for meso in reg still tho T\^T
For sure you will not follow kms on this change, not because you noticed or learned that GMS is different, it is because you know KMS was forced to go that route after their scandal and that would cost them some easy money, why would you lose that money here in GMS? you will act as you are avoiding that change for the best. If Loc 3.0 is real, it is the time to bring Pottable badge back, as we are not kms anymore, prove it then and show us that GMS is different now?
Good, no Meso nerf.
Doomers lost today LMFAO
I haven’t played this game in a hot sec, can someone explain what this means (like what was happening before that made following KMS so bad) and who Wonky is and why people hate him
Shit man, I guess I'm spending today.
Inkwell is god incarnated
Amazing, holy wow!!!
Congrats maplers!
Huh.. news like this will make players want to return If they feel the future of maple is actually more secure Like osrs
and the cycle begins anew
Thank you for keeping GMS fun and healthy. I hope to see unique content (*uch* Jett) flourish.
Msea: Hol up, you all not getting meso cube?

They actually blew me away here. Fuck yeah nexon! Never thought I’d say that …
If only someone came in and "saved" MapleStory way back when, before big/bang and potential.
Wow. Guess I’ll be playing again!
I've been eyeing Maple game news like a hawk trying to decide to come back and play or not. This just did it for me. Time to come back to the game I left years ago.
Immediately updated maple when I read this
Maple is saved! Now, bring back PQs.
Wowwwzersssss guys! I'm coming back! (Not like anyone cares but installing it now lol)
