Early Termination of the User Advisory Group
A new notice has been posted, announcing the end of the user advisory group. There was a bunch of drama surrounding them, including the things mentioned in the last apology notice and other stuff like certain members being under-qualified or doing bad things without being punished accordingly. At the same time as this notice, Nexon updated the post of the user advisory group’s opinions from the 1st discussion topics, since the user advisory group felt their thoughts were not adequately explained. I won’t translate the additions but basically it’s just things like who suggested/agreed/disagreed with what and some more elaboration on why they did so.
Other than that, there should be a KMST patch tonight, including a new boss as well as some of the changes that the development team mentioned in their last notice.
Discussion Board’s Opinions & Developer Comments About the 1st Discussion Topics
Two new notices were posted today, as promised in the last one. The first is the Discussion Board’s Opinions About the 1st Discussion Topics, a summary of what players talked about on the discussion boards on the homepage. The second is the Developer Comments About the 1st Discussion Topics, which is what the developers thought about the opinions shared by both the user advisory group and the discussion board, as well as what they plan or don’t plan to implement.
I’m not gonna translate the stuff about the discussion board reorganization because these notices are already super long and it’s pretty boring so I’m sure 99% of people don’t care about it lol.
User Advisory Group’s Opinions About the 1st Discussion Topics
A new notice has been posted on the homepage. Following the apology from last week, Nexon has released a summary of the discussion they had with the user advisory group about the first three topics selected. Note that the information here is entirely the opinions of the user advisory group and is NOT a preview of what will be added to the game, it’s simply a summary of their thoughts with no input from the MapleStory development team. That post will be coming within the week.
Also this one was really long and a little bit complicated/hard to understand in certain parts, so I might have made a few mistakes while translating. If you guys see anything that’s wrong, please let me know and and I can fix it asap.
Apology for Inadequate User Advisory Group Operation & KMST ver. 1.2.125 – 64-Bit Client Testing
A couple new things that I’m going to combine into one post. The first is a new notice titled Apology for Inadequate User Advisory Group Operation. For context, basically what happened was that a member of the advisory group used an image of someone else looting a hard boss item when they shouldn’t have, and that person threatened to sue them for defamation. The advisory group member said they didn’t have money to pay for that but the other person asked where they got money to open Royal Style Coupons, and the advisory group member broke their NDA to say that they get 500k NX every month. This led Inven users to rage about how they’re getting paid to do (presumably) nothing. Lots of drama.
The second thing is a new patch on KMST, testing for the 64-bit client again. This time, they released a longer notice talking about their decision to switch and how it will affect players. It seems that we will be getting it in the official servers within the next few months!
