Nexon America, Inc. review: Unethical business practices! 81

Wow Gintonic..you sound pretty sure of yourself that we are all a bunch of raving, lying, immature, beggers that have nothing better to do then whine on a website. This link was meant for those of us that have something to say about how incredibly inept Nexon customer service is and how it's customer complaints section is basically non-existant. So, you dont have to resort to name calling. Sit down and have another drink. If one of the posters had incorrect information (either knowingly or unknowingly) then its good you put in your opinion about it and I'm glad to here your thoughts on it. But your not received as a credible contributor to the discussion when you insult everybody. Now on to my point...

I play MapleStory (Global) and have enjoyed it with my significant other daily. I am a...lets say..older player...I understand that no game is perfect and that there are some unsavory characters in the game. I understand there are scammers and ks'ers and hackers. When I run into them I take ss, make sure I'm not misinterpreting what I'm seeing, report them and leave. Done. Thats what we're suppose to do ..right?

However, hackers that have been reported repeatedly (with proof) and receive no diciplinary action (or if they do, it's only a 30 day ban)..and they remain on the ranks...its a bit disturbing.
When you have the same two people in your server that cause havoc to many innocent maplers by ks'ing, stalking, map stealing, harrassing and using racial disparages against who ever they picked that day...for months on end...and no dicipline for their actions...thats disturbing.

When you have 1000+ people on a forum stating that they were auto-banned and have no idea why, and cant even get beyond an automated reply that does not answer that simple question...you have no customer support... and that too is disturbing...

Obviously, you have not had to use the ticket system in order to try and fix a problem..you'd be singing a different tune then. Actually, I must be mistaken I'm sure, but..I don't believe the tickets/complaints are even looked at by any person at all. There has not been one time that ANYBODY has mentioned any sort of human reply to a problem. Its just the lame generalized auto responses.

Then theres the issue with the auto ban involving the apparent "abuse of the big foot glitch"...many aquaintences and friends shared that they or somebody they knew were banned for various number of days for that one...but the thing is...the jobs some of these characters had didnt have the skills that could be used to abuse bigfoot glitch...so it was impossible..some hadnt even been to Masteria..at all...the only explanation (that made sense to me) was that it was only the higher level characters that were leveling fast (2x and hard training/grinding) and the system put them into the category of abusing glitch because they were leveling too fast...again..banned and no specifics as to why and no recourse for those that were banned. Not even a way to PROVE yourself innocent.

I spend plenty every month on MS for nx...2x exp, 2x drops, trade shop, cash shop, pet, ect...and play the game honestly. We only have 2 things we can do when there is a problem that keeps us from playing. We can use the "Alert GM" and we can send a ticket. Neither appears to have any results. Nexon appears to be content to just take the money from us and leave it at that.
If there are rules..then there are consequences to breaking rules. Right? Wheres the consequences?

Wow. The attitudes and beliefs that some of you have are both incredible and pathetic.

Okay, to the guy that knows a 13 year old GM. Thanks for being a liar.

1) GMs do not have unlimited mesos since they CAN summon items to sell to in-game NPCs.
2. They do not need to buy any item in the game... again, they can summon them. On top of that, do you really think that they care to play?
3. Yes they do hide. Know why? So that hackers don't get away. GMs can then "Fraps" evidence of hackers. They do this so that no one can say "GMs BANNED ME FOR NOTHING!" Yeah right, little liars.
4. I think YOU are ### (to "DOESN'T MATTER").

The job of a GM is just that. A job.

No one can "become" a GM, if they do not work for Nexon, are IN the Nexon building, and have the GM client.

As for "OH, my email/ticket got closed! What ###s!"
First, you need to know where you actually sent your ticket and what cases Customer Support handles. They do not handle "Make me a GM plox!" If your ticket was made in the feedback option, it is closed automatically. But think about it, it is feedback, it is not meant to have a response. The PIN reset section? That's stupid, the auto message says that you can do it on the website now. They didn't blow you off.

And "Alan", if your son is stupid enough to have his account hacked, then yes, it's his fault. Raise a smarter son. If you give your information to others, then it is YOUR fault. End of story.

By nature, the problem with this game is not the company, but the majority of the client base. Everybody wants to be treated as though they are unique and special, or they are begging for something for free. I wouldn't want to be in Nexon's shoes. They have to put up with too much ###.

I have lost every last bit of respect I had for Nexon.

I play Mabinogi, on the Mari server. Recently there have been crashes Literally hourly, channel by channel. Causing everyone on that channel to disconnect, and sometimes even loose items. Server-wide Disconnects happen bi-daily, and lag spikes are hourly. Mabinogi is a game where timing counts, and Lag spikes mean you're dead.

I recently lost 6 million gold worth of armor and checks due to a channel disconnect. If you're not familiar with Mabinogi's Economy - That's a month of farming 3~4 hours a day. It's a lot of money. I sent them a ticket, which was ignored for 3 days, and closed. I sent them another and it's still open. I didn't even get an answer back from them at all.

It's ridiculous what we have to put up with to play their games. And I love Mabinogi. If I could read Japanese or Korean, I'd of switched over months ago. Unfortunately this is what I'm stuck with - And I'm considering just finding another game to play. Because their customer support is ###, Their Server Uptime is a joke, Their patches have always gone horrible, etc.

ok i todaly agrea but ther is a bot answering all the emails so if we cud get a hack to fool the bot to hack inn to the system or somethink and get our (users, p/w or whatever )

so if any 1 find a code or some think to fool the bot so we cud get contavt with nexon we will maby get (users, p/w or whatever ) back to is any 1 find anythink email me

### u ### hole JK nexon is awsome but uhh my account got hacked on maple story lvl 89 and i sed i wanted to get it back sum 1 gave me the pass and user than when i tried to get on maple it ###en sed i was ###en banend so i ###ed killed my ###en dog

Nexon is really the worst company with which I've come in contact. They have a horrible "answering machine" when you send a support ticket that sends you back random answers. I play Audition... and I sent them a ticket about my account. In return, I got a message describing how you can report user abuse in MapleStory. o_o Yea.. that really helps.

I agree totally with everyone. i havent really had a problem with Nexon, but i have seen others get banned and screwed over, for nothing. i have been trying to change my password as a safety precaution, and i forgot what i said my best friend was. i think Nexon just needs to get sued, by a lot of people. if they are constantly sued, then maybe they will start to care. it definitely needs to be fixed. something needs to be done.

1) Nexons customer support is NON EXISTANT
2) If you ever do get a reply from them, it is automatically generated and they have no idea what you're trying to say to them
3) Their server support and in game support is also NON EXISTANT

They suck . Seriously .

Nexon doesn't give a damn about the complaints, unless people pay them money. A few days ago the Test Server opened and there are A LOT of bugs' which Nexon don't care about. bottom line is Nexon does not care about it's players, or even the game itself because more players join than they leave

señor aministrador el pin de maple cual es porfis

Nexon Please Help me! TT.TT i let my friend go on my acc to train me! and she broke my marraige with my husband! then she used the wedding ticket i bought my mistake to marry set up a marraige somone else, PLEASE HELP ME TT.TT plz

Um i just want to say that whoever created or came up with the idea of jump quests must have been smoking crack cuz there is no point whatsoever to that type of quest. If there is any reason why they created it i would like to hear it.

I have seen several of my friends have they're accounts banned directly after reporting a hacker on our server [Not mentioning a name, but SHE is still in the top 50 rankings on Broa] with no reason given and absolutely no help from Customer "Support"

I have read the complaint and agree 110% with it. all the writters points are valid and i have experienced many of them in my time playing maple story.

In my opinion i think that nexon is scamming players by blocking users from buying NX via paypal, and forcing them to buy Nexon Cash Cards at participating locations. I find it hard to believe a company of that size would be un-informed of MAJOR errors with they're new pay-pal verification system causing around 78% of NX buyers unable to pay through paypal.

I had a stupid email that was deleted for no apparent reason. And now I cannot retrieve my password after I resetted it. And now nexon won't reply and I have spent a small fortune on the darn game.

I am very upset by the way customer service has treated me. I have opened ticket after ticket about a complaint I have had. I canceled an email account of mine because I no longer had use for it, and I switched all of the accounts attached to the email to another email account... except one. I forgot that the email account was the same one used for my Maplestory account. So recently, I tried to log in and I forgot the password I used, and requested a new password...except the email account I used was no longer used by me. In the FAQ, it says that they CAN switch email accounts, but on rare occasions. I have no use for the account, but I have purchased items in the cash shop, and do not want personal information to be floating around in someone's inbox. To be honest, I don't play the game anymore...it's just a concern of privacy and security. I thought they had a support line that I called, but apparently they don't. I'm tired of opening tickets and providing personal information just for them to reject me, or give me the run-around. Sorry I'm being long-winded, it's just that I would just like to cancel the account period to avoid any breach of privacy or security. I wouldn't be this angered if the customer support actually worked with me instead of saying "no" and giving me the run-around of options I can do.

Nexon customer service is totally useless.

My son's account got hacked and they are not willing to investigate into the log stating they have no right to open a scammer/hacker account but they let the scammer/hacker accout with freedom todo whatever they want.

My son's PC is virus free and spyware free. The only one that knows the Maplestory Pass/pin is only me. He does not even surf the Net as he does not know the poweron password and Windows XP password. I work for IT security and know what is secured/not secured.

The only portion I could think of is the www.nexon.net is not secured to login to the site. Pay attention to the login portion, it is not using HTTPS. How could someone know if the site has been hijacked and all password exposed? then use a crappy pin cracker to crack [protected] and get to the account. I did send them feedback to improve secure login, they just dont care. I also sent them possibly to lock account if more than 3 password or PIN tries and right away send the email of the owner account to notify them with a chance to quickly change pass/pin for being compromised or before they lose all their hardwork/money; money because NXCASH will be used into Gacha.. that is what happened to my son's account, all NX wasted.

I wouldnt care much of this game if I didnt throw in real money to buy NXCASH for my son. I bet you the scammers/hackers are the GM themselves to rip money as insiders.

Question on this site.. would all of this do any movement that Nexon is going to listen to us? Sorry this is my fist time being here and when doing google "Nexon complain" then found this.

Please advice.

I totally agree. I have had a problem with a wedding since 12-09-06. I have sent several emails without any response. The many tkts I have created about the same topic are closed with no comments or help. The address and phone number listed above in not correct. The number above is now a fake number where no one answers the phone. I called yesterday and while it was ringing for me it was busy for my husband showing a fake number( it rang like 40 times b4 i hung up). I did some additional research and found the correct phone number [protected] where I did speak with a Nexon employee (receptionist) who yelled at me and hung up. So my husband called back and was told if she connects us to someone who could help us she would be fired. Im done with sending them tickets. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and also called local new affilates in LA and my area. I received a call back from one today that I hope can assist me. Why do we need to go to this length for some customer service from a Multi Billion $ (I assume) company. I feel your pain and frustration. Contact the Better Business Bureau file a complaint and hope that with enough complaints things may change. Good Luck all

I posted earlier with a problem and I found a phone number and I would like everyone to bombbard this company with phone calls. I called and the receptionist are not allow to tranfer and phone calls to anyone regaurding the game so if your smart about this find a different reason for calling. As I was on the phone with the receptionist trying to get to talk to someone else, my wife called a different number and the woman was very rude, disrespectful and hung up on my wife. These people are children and need an attitude adjustment. I also would advise you on contacting all and any tv news station to start a protest on the lack of customer support. The Phone Number is [protected].

Everyone call and please hand out this number to anyone that has a complaint.

Wow, every single word i read in this post i can relate too 100% and is so true, i was just banned from a room in Audition from a room of 5 GM's holding an event because i was telling them they have not banned one single person for hacking, when there are hacking battle party's going on while i spoke. i got an SS of it if anyone wants to see it.

=-========================================
if a gm is reading this comment, then i have sumthing to tell you.
one of ur " loyal " gamemasters has exposed himself of all secret things that a GM wud hide. i know how all this works.

1) GM's have endless amounts of mesos.
2)GM's cud buy any item they want for just 1 meso from maple administrator

3)GM's "hide" from people, as in...u cant see them, as in when u play, a GM in online and u cant see them, but they can see you.
4)GM's are total [censored]

oh..and one last thing..this GM i know is a friend of mine..hes only 13 years old and faked his way through into becoming a GM. He used his uncle's file, this file has his uncle's records of being a computer technition and a programmer. This " GM " abuses the power he has. Oh...and one last thing...send me an email so i can send u further more details of this fake.

- I totally agree with this, GM's and their customer survices are total [censored], and wont do a thing if something happend to u, i agree 100%
=========================================

I COMPLETLY agree. Maplestory is a free game but they use smart tactics to rake in money with nx cash. SO they should have GOOD customer service. Im really ticked off how i wanted to returned to maple since the nlc patch and i had alot of stuff on my 66 bandit. i look on rankings and my bandits gone..(wtf!) but im alright with that. The problem is that i asked to change my email so i can get a new pin cause my email provider service is dead and they STILL will NOT respond. Im getting pissed at there lazy @$$ service and i think i will just give up cause playing a game that cant even help you is just dumb.

Nexon is run by children. They dont answer your "Email of Inquiry" and if they do they give you the run around like they have with my wife. She and I got married when the marriage system came out. There was a glitch where at the photo shoot we all were disconnected from the game. Since that happened, we lost everything, the ring, the effect, the present at the end since it was a premium wedding, and 30 bucks. Its been over a year now and nothing has been resolved. They did get back to my wife twice but then, right after Xmas, the email was wiped out with no reply from them. Now she opened her 4 inquiry for this issue and I have my 3rd inquiry now. When will they actually grow up and handle this. We are not children, so we can take legal action without a false threat. We should all get a petition together to make Nexon handle these rediculous problems instead of ignoring them.

This complaint is in regards to a game called Maplestory developed by a company called Nexon America, Inc. It is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It is free to play, but players have an option to purchase items through their store (which they call a "Cash Shop") using real money. As of midnight of 1/10/08, my account was blocked until 2/10/08 for allegedly "using illegal game programs or abusing game policy". To my knowledge, I have never used, taken advantage of or supported any illegal programs or abused game policy. I have spent $35 in cash shop item for myself and since these cash shop items are only good for 90 days, I am losing 30 days with this ban. I have read and re-read the terms of agreement from when I first set up my account and have not found anything that I have done to require them to ban my account. I have never hacked, I don't know how to hack and I don't care to learn how to hack. On 1/12/08, I submitted a ticket through Nexon's website stating my case. I received an update on 1/14/08 with a canned response which did give any detail as to why my account was banned. I feel that the day I made a purchase for their cash shop items, I became a paying customer and am being treated very poorly and have not received the serviced agreed to. Below is a copy of the correspondence between Nexon America and myself.

Description Dear Nexon,

As of midnight of 1/10/08, my account was blocked until 2/10/08 for "using illegal game programs or abusing game policy". This is very frustrating to me as I have not been warned or anything about any abusive game behavior. I have reported several game hackers and any other violators that I've seen in the game and have been a good Maple citizen. Please explain to me why my account was banned.

Sincerely,
Jennifer

I have spent around $75 in cash shop item for myself and my family and they since they are only good for 90 days, I am losing 30 days and $25 with this ban. I would absolutely understand (and deserve the ban) if I was a hacker or harasser or advertiser or impersonator or scammer, but I have not done any of those things to violate the user policies. I have been scammed, I have been harassed, I have reported advertisers and hackers. I feel that I am a decent Maple citizen. Please help me resolve this and get my account back quickly. I don't know how to prove that I have not violated the user prolicy, but I wish I knew what I did to be banned. Please advise.

Thank you,
Jennifer

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting Nexon America's Customer Support team.

Your account was found using hacking software, benefiting from hacking software or making use of an in game glitch. Unfortunately, your appeal to have your ban lifted has been denied. Your account will not be released from its block.

Please remember account holders are required to play by the rules of MapleStory.

Sincerely,

GM Vector
Nexon America, Inc.

I was also banned on January 13th, I aswell am in the same server as Unity, Here is my story at the beggining of the day I was browsing for a map at dual ghost pirates, after seen that all the channels were vacced I left to gobys, seeing all the maps full, I had went to repot, While I was repotting I become dced and a msg comes up. "You have been banned for using programs or going aginst the rules". I was listening to winamp at the time. My guess is they banned me for telling the hacker to stop hacking, sadest part of all I bought nx cash 2 hours before my ban.

I posted a ticket about 4 days ago for server transfer, it says my account has been recently been blocked. AND I KNOW FOR A FACT that my account has never been blocked before. But when i try to make a purchase of a name change / character transfer it says I cannot because my account has been blocked before and that to check if it has been in the past 3 months. And I started around november. And i want to play with my friends on another server i paid 25$ and i cant even use it.. nexon is really horrible...

this company is trying to acsess my paypal acct.saying i am paying for stuff ,30.00 four times ,never heard of this co.before now ...

I was banned because " a gm witnessed me hacking" LOL...this company..somethings wrong with this company...my character is level 139...and i was training with someone and they witness me hacking...read the whole situation below.

"

To Whom It May Concern,

Hello, my priest -XxUnityxX was banned on January 2,2008. I was banned shortly after being harrassed by two hackers. They were vaccing on my map (under the map and on the ground of the map). I was not able to report (i am not quite sure if i did) the first because he was under ground but i was able to get a ss of him (powslapshot) hacking after (vaccing) on another map near the same area. After, i screenshoted powslapshot i went back to training...then i saw a weird glitched dragon on right side of map ..it was higher than the
usually priest dragon..im not sure if it was a GM or lag on my part...and i was training with another priest so it might have been her dragon.
I was able to report (with chat log) for the second vaccer (Harraser) that was on my map. I went to the mapleglobal.com website afterwards and sent screenshots (i took all the screenshots) of the hackers making threats to me "I'll leave the map only if you defame me". Me and my training partner ignored her and we just continued training. However i still am
not cleared why i am banned...i was banned shortly after a GM visited my friend Majesticwizz (GM Vector) requesting him a favor for me to send in some screenshots. I sent in some screen shots (screen shots that i already sent ..i sent again..) and then i was banned by GM Shade.
In one of the screenshots, i had typed the word "accing" in brown/buddy chat...that was a typo and was meant to be "vaccing"...which was suppose to indicate that the hacker was vaccing on my map (which might be a reason why i was banned?), no idea. You may ask me why a typo? simply because i had to take screenshots...i had to pot up, so i don't die...and i had
to type...i was basically multitasking...and annoyed by the fact that someone- a hacker..that was vaccing on my map...at the time of my double exp...i was training all morning...on and off...and i was banned for trying to report hackers that were trying to harrass me. Please unban my account and restore it in full...because i did not hack in anyway. Please GM Vector and Shade...work together on this ticket...because there might have been some sort of mistake or mis-interpretation. Thankyou

i have provided screen shots, please take a look at the links (if want in another format please let me know)...thanks

P.S. the first vaccer harrased me the day before also...he defamed me about 15+ times...the
screen shots are provided above with all his defaming mules...most of his characters/mules are not on ranking. (first link, harrasment at himes-dreamy ghost, second link-defame harrasment. please help me...all i was trying to ..was to play the game..i did not hack in anyway.

i'm not sure if i can do this but..i will provide my phone # ...i feel that this needs to be fixed right away..because..4th job is coming out..and my goal was to be 150...before it came out...i have been trainin day and night ...legitly of course...and i have gained about 12 lvls (i have double exp cards) within the past 2-3 weeks..and i'm not dumb enough to go try out hacks and hack on a popular map and get myself banned after all the hard work that i have done..thanks.

This note was premade...on January the 3rd of 2008.- XxUnityxX...Thankyou Again."

THIS TELLS YOU ALOT ABOUT MAPLE STORY AND HOW THEY ARE LIKE SOO ###ED UP...IN GAME PLAYER + GM ABUSING POWER? SET-UPS? WHAT DO YOU THINK? YOU TELL ME" LOL

AS of this writing my level 115 Priest account has been permenately banned for what Nexxon calls "Charge Fraud"
The facts are this. Nexon failed to properly disclose the restrictions on "Character Transfers". I deposited meny into my MS account just for that purpose to find out that they would not grant me the transfer.

Icontacted NExon regarding this issue and they "Deleted" my ticket without any explaination. Since I payed through paypal I made a complaint, since they did not respond I chose to escalate it to have paypal make a decision.

The $30 deposit in my MS account was untouched depending an outcome. Because I mad e this complaint they retaliated by banning me. Very interesting. They must like to steal.
I deposited money into my MS account from a funding source which is registered in my name. My MS account name is registered in that same name and yet they say I committed charge fraud. The only thing I did do was make a complaint.

Questionable practices by Nexxon has been in the workings long before issues of tickets and other things.

Being one of the beta testers I've seen and experienced many of things first hand.

Customer service has always been lousy even up to this day. I recently put a ticket through questioning whythey provide cash shop items for purchase but not all can be purchased. Why they failed to describe within the cash shop items description that not all would have equal purchasing ability for certain things. In question was the "Character Transfer" The description says nothing about "IF your account has been blocked once" you cannot transfer. It's not until you enter your personal birthdate (as they claim for privacy reasons) that your get this message. My point is that they should be obligated to disclose this in cash shop to allow a user to know whether or not they are permitted to purchase before the individual deposits cash in their account for the sole purpose of transferring that character.

Everyone knows that the game is launched independant of the website and I for one don't frequent the site on a regular basis.
My ticket for this complaint was deleted within the day without explaination of any kind.

When I changed service providers I requested a change of my email address properly included my account infor to them and explained to them and it is documented that my ISP at the time merged and therefore changed my email. I provided the information requested and again my ticket was deleted without any response. There was an instance where my son's account was hacked and stolen anda request for help was requested and no action was taken (this was before pin codes).

The issues of banned accounts for hacking especially those of NX purchasers may have created some eye brow raising.This is why they stopped placing permanent bans on accounts. This in return relieves them of liability.Regardless of the situation they do not have the right to steal your money and quite frankly is what they did. Regardless of how they have it set up they denied those people what was rightfully theirs. Nexxon and Wizet may think they are above the law or some god , they are not.
Misleading someone to believe they will get something specific in return for exchange of money is fraud. Simple as that. Any way you slice and dice it the bottom line is the same.

For those of you who think this company does no wrong (ther are many) you may as well sell your soul to the devil.

IF you make a complaint that they do not agree with , then you become a target. IVe seen this time and time again.

There are many unethical practices by this company. If they would be a little more willing to address the issues wiht some kind of outcome or cummunication instead of focusing on the bottom profit line. There would be more understanding across the board. However, the fact that younger america makes up the large percentage of this game is ideal for them.

I agree very much that Nexon completely lacks customer service. Although their games are free to play, that is no reason to not provide any customer service.

I've been trying to recover a friend's account for about a month now. I've tried calling and emailing Nexon, but received no reply from either. My friend resides outside of the United States, that's why I'm trying to help him. It would be costly for him to make international phone calls and many of them on top of that. Anyhow, Nexon never picked up when I call and I've been calling almost everyday for the last three weeks. I can't submit a ticket because I already have one open and it's still open since 3 months ago. About my friend's account, he was hacked. I would say it was his fault that it happened, but Nexon should help recover his account. Even though according to Nexon's ToS that they own everything that's in the game, including the accounts, I don't think they should cold-heartedly not care about other players' accounts simply because they are the owner and they can do whatever. Many players actually put in a lot of time and effort into their character(s).

Regarding their lack of customer service, I really hope that they can improve on that. I don't completely understand or know their reasons or excuses for doing whatever they are doing, but if I'm Nexon, I know I won't want to deal with the arrogant, unreasonable, and childish MapleStory community. However, Nexon should find ways to reach out to their "customers" instead of shutting them out. Not all of us are arrogant and unreasonable children.

For many players, most of the time it is their own fault that their account gets banned. Even if in your case, it's not your fault, I highly doubt Nexon is going to see one (or two or ten or a hundred) innocent players among the pool of idiots. Good luck with trying to recover your account(s).

By Pin Hacked I'm talking the only way that can happen is if you login to a Phisher site, and Nexon even says never give out your Pin the only time your ever asked for your pin in when you login to the game client

Your right I did read it wrong that doesn't mean you have to go off with the insults, I'm not Nexon, I was kind of reading fast and somehow I read it as if you said

If you have made a purchase of NX cash and don’t like the items available to buy then that’s not their fault as
-if-
you knew what was available prior to purchase.

Therefore I thought you wrote it as if you cannot see the cash shop items, yeah, if they disclaim all sales final this is completely legal.

It's kind of funny that you go off on a whim and start insulting me on that line only? Why can't think of anything to come back to on my other statements?

And you people act like it's Nexon's fault you got hacked, and your pin got changed, or you just flat out forgot it, set it to something you an remember. Like your birthday?

Or you thought it'd be fun to play the "Drop Game" with someone and got your 1mil item swiped.

As for the technical help yeah there are some quirks I can agree with that, but no program is perfect, I mean even your Web Browser crashes sometimes. Most of the time to get the game working it's, well to me, something simple the person don't know how to do or never tired.

Maybe I'm just lucky cause I have a lot of computer knowledge, you said I'm a ### but I don't know of a lot of ###ed PHP/MySql programmers, if you know of any please forward them to me so we can engage in more interesting conversation. :)

DarkAngel,

If you re-read we said "If you have made a purchase of NX cash and don’t like the items available to buy then that’s not their fault as you knew what was available prior to purchase." We DIDN'T say at any time that it was their fault after the item is purchases.

Please read carefully next time because you are making yourself look like an idiot maybe you were born ###ed.

I completely agree with this. People who purchase NX should know what they want before they buy it so its not their fault.

The customer service is horrible. I experienced something similar. It was very recent too. I hadn't "mapled" in a long while and the other day I decided to go on. So when I went to log on I put in my ID and PASSWORD and when I went to put in my PIN it said I had the WRONG PIN! I was confused because I had not been on in months and some how my PIN was not the same. I went around the website looking for a way to fix this problem and I found the ticket thing. I want and "filed" a ticket. I waited one day and then I kept checking it. I finally realized that they had answered me but that it didn't help me at all. This is what they told me:

"Customer Service will no longer be accepting pin reset requests. Due to misuse and abuse of this system customer service must assist other player issues at this time. Please be aware that we are working on implementing an automatic pin reset system that will allow players to reset their pins without the need for contacting customer service. This new system will require access to the email at the address provided during your initial account registration. An announcement will be made when this service is available. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you and we hope to have this new service available very shortly. Thank you for your understanding."

Well the thing is I dont understand. I really wanted to maple so I created a new account. I had to start from the beginning. It was frustrating to not be able to do things that I can normally do. They acted as if my issue was not important and basically blew me off! It made me angry and I plan to keep insisting until they help me out because if I stop trying nothing will ever be fixed.

Well just thought I would let you know that I completely agree with you. Nexon is only in this for the money that they can make off of young 12 year old kids who want to look "cute" or "pretty" and buy all of this NX. I'm not saying I don't want my character to look "cute" but Nexon doesn't care about the people they only care about making money off of the people who play their games.

Their customer service is horrible.

The Technical Help forum is full of confused and frustrated people cause Nexon won't help them.

I uninstalled Maple Story from my PC.

It's not worth my time anymore. Thank goodness I didn't give them any money.
