I'm from China and Live in Australia and if you fly to China from the US with $10,000 USD, you will have approx. 75,000 RMB
Look if you cant save your money after 90 days
than you got problems
well, for me, clothes don't need to be permanent.
Let's apply some Real life- Logic.
For example, you buy a complete set of clothes, whoo, they look great, and you want pt use them all the day, always. Time passes, and the clothes wore out, get dirty or you just don't want to use them anymore. So, what do you do? Buy new clothes.
A thing that shouldn't expire are expressions. They are cheap tho. But, for using an expression always your face won't wore out lawl
xrobx00: Well in my point of view, buying clothes in MapleStory for only 90 days , is a waste of money , i know maybe you will say , you can use for 90 days, but in my point of view when you go to a store , they dont tell you , you can only use that clothes for only 90 days and after that time you have to give back to them, is kinda waste of money , and the cash items are not cheap, compare to KMS, CMS, JMS , you can buy the clothes and they have no time limit the time limit is never, they can use theyr clothes FOREVER i wish we could have this, since is not fair , in my point of view Clothes from cash shop, should be FOREVER

I could't agree more dude...
Someone commented and said that there should be two sets of pricing, eg:
~ 30k for the regular 90 days,~ 300k for permanant wear...
seems to make sense to me... as does the whole "renewal" system... pay the 30k 1st time fee, and after 90 days if you want to buy it back, pay only a fraction of that price.
you must remember that this is a game AND a business... they're offering a service (the game) to us, the customers... in return, they need to make a profit of somekind to keep afloat.... can you imagine just what kind of server loads these people have to deal with?! 24/7 365 practically! only greedy people want things for free...
cheaper things should be permanant, i agree, like the expressions... that's dumb to make them expire...
How about this- NX items last forever, but we have to pay to play like WoW.
NX items are Nexon's only form of revenue. Get over it.
xrobx00: XoKisaXo:Yes, but not only do they pay FAR MORE, it is much stricter over in JMS in regards to everything. You wouldn't stand a chance there, in all honesty. i already play KMS, JMS and CMS, why i wouldnt stand a chance? and pay far more??? o.O are you sure? , lets say in cms a hat is for 2900 and in GMS is for 3200 ... i dont see how this could be FAR MORE

I agree.
The only problem is, the cash shop
is part of Nexon's way of being funded,
so if the items were unlimited, they would be earning...
lets say....1/100 of what they're earning now?
And maple is free to play, so no worries. :)
You guys are such whiners. Listen NX clothes don't last forever but honestly i think they make more of their money selling 2x exp cards and smegas. Think about it theres a smega every few minutes in the crowded servers and they are like 2$ a pop. SO! if they made NX clothes permenant it wouldn't really change their amount of income honestly it would increase as more people would buy it because it DOES last forever. If you buy NX once trust me you'll buy it a second time. NX can also get people back into the game, like my friend gets bored and once he gets new NX he gets really active again so it may lead to them charging even more. Now, I really don't mind if they change NX to be permanant, and if they did i would have to say if they were gonna do that you wouldn't be able to character transfer it which would again make them even more money so a person would buy a set of clothes for each of their characters. Finally Maplestory is a free MMORPG nexon needs to make its money some way. If your going to whine about others MS' having FREE BAN!! go play those versions.
It's great that maplestory is free compared to other online games, and paying a bit for cool looking clothes is worth it. And i like to change my look every once in a while
This WHOLE topic is pointless. The fact that maplestory is free and NX is OPTIONAL, buying clothes isn't needed. If you don't like the 90 days rule, then don't buy em.
Now back on topic, China is MUCH stricter then usa. I've been there, I've lived there, and I remember a monument was build when people tried to rebel against the government. (They all died ._.) NX fraud just isn't an option there.....
The renewable idea is awesome, and I think it's viable for Nexon's income....since alot of people tend to buy more then just one shirt/pants/jacket/etc.
personally what i think is that if they make clothes forever, it'll get alott more people to buy.
just say about half of all the players on gms buy clothes
each one at least 10k nx
you can't say thats not alot of moolah.
anyway, people will get sick of their clothes and change to other ones.
so they'll still have a strong income.
i've probably screwed up somewhere in the plan, but thats what i think.
Okie, since i have read almost everyones post, i have my own opinion. Jms, Cms, Kms, may have "forever" clothing as you put it but also if every maplestory type was free here wouldnt be workers, GMs, technical supporters fixing the glitches, and bugs. Pretty much you could say people from Global and Msea pay for maple to run freely. Some items from cms, Msea, kms, or jms may be cheaper but i have also looked into the AsiaSoft and there 10k of nx is about 4-5$ than you have global paying 10$ plus Tax (if using Paypal) to just get a meesly 10k nx.
Also again with the "forever" nexon cash items i honestly get sick of the clothing my char wears after 2 months. and let alone having it Sit in my Cash shop staring me in the face would be a serious waste of Memory and Ram for your computer Seeing how Large maplestory is to even be held on a computer. Sorry to say but i prefer aving 90 days on my cash items, The only thing i would LOVE to have permanent is my pets, and pet equips.
