Let's reflect... what did Nexon do wrong?

[Naka]

Discuss. Hopefully ED can learn from Nexon's mistakes.

everything

[Chocorroles]

If you actually frequent streams you will notice reason No.1 we don't get newcommers it's because they get bored of playing 3 hours just to one shot enemies and basically zero gameplay and content

Then their viewers take notice of that and don't come here

Nexon management was just half (or less) of the problem. They do have an horrible reputation but most players just skip drama and play with their friends anyways.

Well besides Nexon not being a good publisher at all and ignoring their community, i think the IP block it really sucks in games.

Basically everything

[ILLbeURdeath]

lmao, love the ign :P

[Nexon]

they did the everything wrong

I did nothing wrong.

Nexon didn't take DN seriously, relative to their other titles. I know they did try, but this game requires a lot of attention, which they weren't able to provide. I find it funny how they were able to reformat the forums of their other titles and not DNs.

The community of DN will be much better so long as Eyedentity stay vigilant when it comes to addressing tickets. One of the things that Nexon had a horrible reputation for was that certain issues would not be resolved if a specific person did not see the ticket first. I am so happy that Tekonos got my ticket about accidentally getting a Purple Cannon instead of a Purple Bubble Blaster...

What did nexon do wrong? IP Block. thats all i have to say.

IP blocking was one of the only things they did right. The other being the aggressive stance against gold sellers and buyers, which seemed to be effective while I played anyway (which was more than a year ago)..

I never liked the region lock. I had so many friends that wanted to play with me on DN NA but couldnt since they lived in places like Mexico.

• Terrible Forums
•Never Acknowledge their players and listened to their suggestions thoroughly.
•Again, Lack of communication with the community.
•The Events were very bland, and never thought out. I look at other servers and I'm like.....Why don't we have these events here? Oh that's right..Nexon
•It's already bad enough we use "Nexon" as a bad metaphor.
•The GM's literally seem like they had no interest what's so ever.
•Especially in the drought times where the GM's just magically just left without a trace, that's the thing a GM/Moderator shouldn't do. They should be out there calming the situation rather than making it worst.
•They rely on a lot of Money grabbing.
•Just really didn't like my experience at all with Nexon. I only played the game for the purpose of the GAME itself. Not the company. The game is what made me stay, but the company was what made me leave.

IP Block plus IP Block

[Cerebelum]

+100000000 to lack of communication between GM's and players as well as lack of moderation. Basically, nexon just didnt gaf.

With ED being the publisher, I hope they learn from other companies who self publish their game (ie, Warframe by DE, Path of Exile by GGG). These 2 f2p games are the ones i can pull out atm but they are one of the best examples of a true f2p and mmo done right. So please ED, hopefully you guys won't be arrogant and will listen to your players , be the company that Nexon could never be. A good company.

I can tell just from skimming how unmoderated/toxic they are.

Mostly this and the fact that they did everything wrong

I feel the cash shop was one of the biggest failures Nexon ever had. Limited cosmetic options, facial, eye, hair, color. In regards to color almost all of it was hidden under dragon eggs. If they had just random cosmetic boxes that would have been far more forgiving than what they had, but even that wouldn't have solved the overarching problem of just a lack of variety in general.

I mean, you look at Maplestory and its huge failures, at least it had cosmetics down(mostly, the longer the game came out, even the cosmetics were beckoning prayers to RNGesus). I ran around as a pretty unique character, only met one other person who looked exactly like me, and they had a completely different outfit on and hair color.

Granted those are two very different games with very different communities, but variety is the spice of life, and I notice MMO's tend to die when everyone looks the same.
