Nexon reveals problems by revealing probability information of paid items
Up to two of the three potential options can be duplicated
Users who didn’t know this spend wasting money on paid item payments
Nexon plans to hold a customer conference in April
On the 5th, Nexon has revealed probability-type item acquisition rates from’Maple Story’ on the 5th. This was a decision to resolve the suspicion of manipulating the probability of the company’s probability-type items raised by users. However, as soon as the information was released, the problem was revealed.
According to the information on the probability of paid items released by Nexon on the 10th, it was revealed that the item potential options’Bobobo’ and’Bangbangbang’, which MapleStory users most wanted to have, were initially impossible to realize.
‘Bobobo’ and’Bangbangbang’ are words that users abbreviate that the three potential ability options are filled only with’increased boss monster attack damage’ and’ignore monster defense rate’. Users can buy’cubes’ for real money and add options to items with a certain probability.
The problem is that it did not notify users that the potential redundancy limit was set. Because of this, users did not know that’Bobobo’ and’Bangbangbang’ were impossible, and they poured a huge amount of money into payment for paid items.
In a Maple Story announcement, Nexon said, “For potential options, up to two of the three options will be reset. We set the logic so that some potential options (Bobobo, Bangbang, etc.) do not appear at the same time. One reason was to prevent boss hunting when the legendary potential was first added in August 2011 or excessively exceeding the balance threshold for item acquisition,” he explained.
As this fact became known, some MapleStory users are strongly protesting that they will take legal action.
In response, Nexon’s director Kang Won-ki posted an apology on the website again on the 9th and announced that he would hold a customer meeting in April.
He said, “We want to prepare a place where we can communicate honestly with our customers who care for MapleStory, although it is late.” I will try to prepare a chapter for the story,” he said.
