The Upcoming BlockParty

Posted by MrPudding On September - 29 - 2009

Blockheads are the creepy guys running out of the NEXON logo. Nexon says they will be using them a lot in events such as the Blockhead Invasion!

Here is Nexon’s intro video in case you’ve forgotten since the last time you’ve played.

This means that Nexon will be changing their name to BlockParty! This, coupled with various new features, could perhaps bring about new-found interest in Nexon from onlookers hoping to play some new games.

www.blockparty.com is the URL!

If you click on the Blockheads at the top-middle of the screen, you’ll see what they will be doing with the site.

As nexon says:

What is going on at Nexon.net you ask?? The Blockheads (the feisty little green dudes with party hats) have come to share the BlockParty gospel in their…”unique” way. We don’t always understand their tactics, but they know how to have fun doing it, so what are you going to do?

So check out the BlockParty infotainment animatory thing. The Blockheads spent a lot of time on it, and we’re pretty sure you will see why.

So definately get ready for some new events coming up on nexon.net!

    It looks like Nexon.net is turning into FaceBook for video games…

    hmm, i don’t really know what to think of this. Nexon seems to be going into a foreign battleground with an approach like this. their acting a bit weird.

    Its kinda like a social networking site for the un-social. No offense to anyone ofc.

  6. Tharticus Said,

    Well, this seems more of either having Nexon mating with either facebook or myspace and this child came out. Well, I’m not happy about this.

  7. Impulse Said,

    This will change a lot of factors, I’m happy I quit MapleStory and drifted away from Nexon.
    Thank God!

  8. Impulse Said,

    I watched the little video they had on the website and I agree with you Savage. Nexon is like Facebook and they got some of the ideas from Outspark.com

    Looks like Nexon is finally going to Americanize

  10. Vyers Said,

    And after taking two steps forward in customer relations, Nexon was loaded into a cannon and shot back several miles with this update. This is going to be a death nail for many players, I think.

  11. Valce Said,

    Interesting actually. Would be kind of neat if they became a new kind of Facebook.

  12. Utain Said,

    I thought it was called – until i realised the website.

    Why is this americanisation? It isn’t opened to Canada?

    People calm down. Everyone flips out when ever a major update to something they love happens, (ex.-KoC) Also when the big xbox live update happened so many people said the same things but everyone loves it now. Lets just ride it out and see where we end up. It could be good.

    @Person#1

    LMAO! seriously most of the people who play maple are those unsocial strategizers that always find new ways to rip off newbies or who spend hours doing hardcore grinding and mass scrolling, I don’t think that ‘facebook’ is gonna help ;)

  19. Wind Said,

    @Kat.

    On the contary, I’d say more like 60% of the people that play Maplestory are children that do have a life (but they probably might be spoiled, judging from all the money into NX cash, I’m willing to bet there are 5yr olds with an iphone playing MS).

    The other 40% though, I’d say I agree….Especially in Asian Maplestory servers. If you play KMS, or Korean Maplestory, theres a channel for ADULTS (as in an age requirement)……..kinda sad, isn’t it?
