The Maple News Network was created in July of 2007 by Savage and friends. MNN is comprised of the main site, Maple-News.com, which is the first and only MapleStory news website. Other sites such as MapleBlog and the MapleStory Fail Blog are also part of the network in addition to news and music radio stations.
Here at MNN we value unbiased news that can educate and interest the average mapler and gamer about their community and coming features. Maple News is known and respected by Nexon America and expects to expand to other Nexon games in coming months.
We strive to bring you the latest and most accurate MapleStory news and bringing together an intelligent and entertaining community.
NEXON Says, “Get Rid Of Your Old Friends!”
NEXON America’s latest ad that has been appearing on virtually any site with the words Maple and Story in them talks about their latest expansion of the game, the Pirate class. The odd ad says, “Make Some NEW Friends and Get RID of Some Old Ones!” I’m not exactly sure what kind of message that’s supposed to send to kids…but I don’t think it’s the right one. Friendships should be valued, but as we see in online games today, that’s not always the case. Now, not to be downing on NEXON the Pirate class has done well so far…but I think maybe next time they advertise, they should double check whether or not it’s appropriate for their audience.

Yeah i’ve been saying that too when i’ve seen this ad.

LOL. When i saw the ad, i was like WTF. Nexon should watch their words. Many of their players are kids, so they should be a good example, not to break friendship.
But, dumping (when i say dump it means remove from buddylist) friends that quitted maple for good, uhh….

what the fuck is nexon thinking???
Posted on November 23rd, 2008 at 12:00 pm
ya i agree. i mean really, what are they playing at? pretty abnormal if you ask me.
Posted on November 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Again, a really good example of Nexon’s poor management skills.

Nexon turns bad a new head title…o.o I’ve seen that ad on the bottom of this page before…o.o

It was probably in terms of ‘Your a pirate, throw some random people overboard, and let the sharks do the rest’, but they are actually sending a wrong message, I doubt it’s intenional though.
Posted on November 24th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Kinda weird they would want to do that but oh well Nexon has sucked for a while like that.
Posted on November 24th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Yo, Maple-News owner. Can you add me to MSN?
My msn is my email.
Thanks.

Get rid of some old ones may refer to get rid of old games?
Posted on November 25th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
@Kenny.
Nope, they don’t mean removing or dumping old games.
I think they mean to dump or rid of your old friends that quitted or joined Servers and make new friends. BUT THATS NOT GOOD TO HEAR.
