Dont get me wrong, I can speak Japanese, and read quite a bit, but not many people can read enough kanji to trust you are going to get what you pay for (or what you think you are paying for) as you click next/next/agree/next. To make matters worse, in your account screen, CCPs "guide" and info about this change is completely in Japanese as well.

I can imagine. Probably native Nihonjin can't make it out either. Same as with account/billing agreements in English here in the U.S.

What exactly is the problem(s) with Nexon?

Not trolling. I'm just trying to understand.




Ahhh, Nexon. The douchebags responsible for ruining Atlantica. The microtrasaction [ladies of commercial virtue] who wont even sell you permanent pixels, they'll give you rent-30-day-pixels. Ahhhh, Nexon, they give F2P games that ugly cash shop reputation. To top it all off, they like to lie. When they were taking over Atlantica, they claimed they wouldn't do anything, and nothing was changing. HAHAHA, yeah right. They killed off the Turn Based battle system that had been the games defining feature and brought in a tile system, then got mad when no one wanted to use it enough.

God help you if you EVER have a customer service problem. ESPECIALLY a payment issue. Mine was solved after 45 days of petitioning, by contacting Paypal directly and lodging a complaint- Nexon finally deigned to respond to my petition then! Of course they screwed me out of my bonus coins, saying it was now out of date. Bug fixes in any of their games?

I recently stepped back into Mabinogi- and quit the same day when I realized game breaking bugs from 5 years ago were still active- no one but bots play that game anymore (shame, it started out a nice sandbox game)- of course, you have to pay 10 bucks a month to be a merchant/crafter, and only for 30 days, and only for a few items at a time, then another 15 a month for blah blah blah, housing, clothing is rented, etc).

The only thing Nexon is handling is billing and advertising, they have no influence on game design.



Nope. Nexon bought NDoors, which is now a subsidiary of Nexon.


Perhaps I didn't speak clearly enough, I was referring to their relationship with CCP... which is what we are discussing.

i mean, why would you have normal sex if you can get raped by multiple tentacles at once.

I guess this is the closest you humanly ever can get to the horrific events that Japanese school girls go through on a seemingly daily basis.

Update: CCP was able to exception me from the nexon tentacle monster, I'm now using the same billing system as the rest of the world. Unfortunately for all other Japanese players this isnt the case.

Liberate Japan from the tentacles, ccp. Reconsider this deal with nexon to provide your Japanese customers with the same options as the rest of the world.

Odd that prices should be higher in Japan. I know it's higher in the EU because there's an additional tax that applies to "all EU residents" that's added to the price (I'm guessing that prices being the same in € and $ is just rounding after accounting for the tax to make it look neat) - I assume that this means that a EU resident tricking the system that he or she should be paying in USD would technically mean tax fraud.

The account & billing FAQ doesn't mention anything special for Japan though, so I don't see why they wouldn't allow you to pay in USD under the "credit/debit cards - rest of the world" pricing unless they have some deal with Nexon that stipulates that Japanese residents must pay through Nexon. If they don't that should mean that "tricking" the system with a proxy is legal. I'm not much of an internet lawyer though, so feel free to correct me.

Sounds like a major annoyance though, glad to hear you got out.
