They are really going to close Nexon Audition x.x
Now i'm angry a little because i actually "wasted" time on playing with my aAu char >.<
But because of that "no patch" thingy, alaplaya hadn't had a Patch for 3 months by now and the latest Patch is not worth to be called a "Patch". So it actually will be 4 months without a Patch IF the January Patch arrives on shedule.
alaplaya staff said in the forums that the korean developers are reorganizing a lot over there and that they are too busy to provide patches to other auditions.
Although i wonder why SEA and AudiVN got Season2 during that time.
ALSO those Nexon players should stop bitching arround >.<
They have had weekly patches before that where other Auditions had none or monthly ones.
Bullshit. Nexon audition Patches once a month however since they start on tuesday night and the patch is recieved usually on wednesday, you can say it is monthly also. They deserve to bitch just as much as the people with no patches. Look at combat arms *though a different Genre of gaming* they get one patch a month. Yet they are doing very good for just starting out not too long ago.
T3 is having a bit of problems and idk why they would say too busy to provide patches cause SEA just had a patch last week.
BTW even with T3 being unorganized or w/e Alaplaya still didn't patch, from the very begining Alaplaya and G10 always were laid back with patches.
Really.. they had weekly patches.. doubt it.. and um.. t3's rather organized right now.. look at their site.. they changed their logo months ago and has already redone the site as well as load up audition english so um.. don't know what you guys talking about..

Exactly, they only did once to put on x2 patch then the next patch was 5 songs in the next week. Pretty much it. Otherwise it was Monthly. HOWEVER something is going on in T3, Maybe nexon isn't paying, do you guys remember something weird the day of the patch... actually you still should know about it.
Look at the songlist and then look at the songs that should have been removed. They never were. These licenses expired SOOO long ago and yet they are still on there. I think we are gonna have another SEA period if this continues.

Probably nexon trying to save money.. and one more thing.. earlier someone said alaplaya says t3 isn't organized.. well alaplaya shouldn't even be talking.. their site is terrible with organization.. An example would be.. I signed up for an account for their site to play s4.. well guess what.. my password was fine on their site but was too long for s4.. you think they would organize it so that the php code would only accept a smaller length for a password.. -_-.. seriously.. I don't really think it's t3's fault.. I think it's the publisher's not doing their part to get the information to T3 in time.. since T3 runs 6 games and has signed contracts with over 20 publishers for their games combined plus a taiwan game service.. the publishers are supposed to have things planned out and given to them a month (if not 2 months) ahead of time. My graphic communications teacher always points this out to us. He keeps nailing out that even ads that you get weekly, their layout has been predetermined months ahead of time so things can run smoothly.
It's not T3's fault. Nexon and Alaplaya are both focusing on their moneymakers, which aren't Audition. For Alaplaya, their major money maker is S4, that's why S4 patches and Audition doesn't. I don't play any Nexon games, so I don't know which games make them the most money (although I presume MapleStory.) So if you want to focus on why Nexon and Alaplaya aren't patching Aud, that might be your answer.

Are you sure it's just not you liking s4 the most xD.. um yea maplestory does make them most money.. probably.. but um.. combat arms and sugar rush, aren't.. so um go figure.. -_-

Positive, I've seen the german channel (well okay the non-english channel but the majority of that is germans) like 80% full while the english server is maybe 30% full....so that's over half of the game's server capacity at one time.

Stfu Dark, always have some type of argument don't you? It's true, theres a member here who logged a ticket and it specifically said, sorry we are busy with S4 at the moment.

I'm not arguing.. it's you that makes it into an arguement.. ever notice that? I just friendly teasing her for liking s4 alot.. reason i put an xD
I never said that it couldn't be a possibly.. I just said go figure.. maybe it's just nexon that's different cause they seem to patch their less popular games as well but she's pointing out that that's what alaplaya is.. i'm just drawing the line in difference between the 2 companies..
To be fair, MapleStory definitely must make Nexon loads of money. Combat Arms has got potential because...well, I know a lot of guys who like games where you can shoot other people o-o'' I don't, but I'm the minority so I don't matter. And they made Sugar Rush themselves (right?), so naturally they're going to concentrate on it. Personally I don't see it being much of a success, but I have no idea about it. Just going on a feeling...
I'm not really joining in the...er...well I don't know whether it actually qualifies as an argument or not, but anyway, I'm just putting in my two pence. :>

lol friendly.. ok. Just keep in mind that they are 2 companies. S4 sounds like they don't have teamed groups to deal with everything so sucks for them. Yet it's true Alaplaya's money maker is S4 now, Nexons is Maple

I am going to school at The Art Institute of Vancouver for 3d modeling, I plan on getting a job at EA vancouver, although that's not the point the point is nexon is in the industry and I've found out information about this whole gaming industry that shows WHY audition is in a crysis.
this college has a council that searches companies to help grads get jobs, nexon in california is one of them because they have visited them. in the gaming industry 80% of jobs are NOT listed to the public because 80% of jobs are through worker referrals within the company. when a company is desperate for workers usually they use posting on websites as a last resort.
Monster.ca as pointed out by a user on the nexon forums has nexons job listings, and PLENTY of them and high priority positions available. meaning nexon is low on important workers.
I'm sick of seeing people on nexons forums complain about patches and how nexon does nothing (which it may seem) and how maplestory gets or the popular games get all the attention, but they don't know shiet. there's a fact that sure, nexon makes TONS of money as a business from NX buyers and maplestory, but that isn't the case that's stopping patch/updates it's the fact that they cannot find enough workers in the specified area's to hie and to HELP get these games back on track, the hackers on nexon forums think their helping audition get attention by releasing more hacks so then the game becomes a bigger mess and nexon fixes it, but guess fckin what? its NOT. nexon would probably have every dam problem fixed if they had enough workers but these dumb shiets are making the problem bigger and worse each day that eventually they think nexon is gonna fix it, but in reality their pushing AAU closer to just being closed and deleted from being one of nexons games. nexon puts its priority with the efficiency and amount of workers they have to their most stable and popular games because yes those are more important than a game like audition that doesnt make half the income or audience. and while hackers make the game have bigger problems as each day passes and as nexon can't get more workers, the game gets worse and worse and eventually WILL close. so for those on nexons forums thinking these hackers are doing good by gettin nexons attention, your all wrong and what i've stated above is the ONLY reason things aren't getting done. (trust me I've asked the professionals in the industry when situations like this happen)
audition will either do this if nexon can't resolve this:
1. wipe the game clean and re-open when they have things fixed (over-time)
2. completely kill audition, and i'd like to thank hackers and Hime for this one.
if you agree with me and think this should be said, copy and paste this on nexons forums for me since i cannot. those people on the forums need a slap to reality.
Hello Griever,
I'm actually from the same area as you, and I actually work with EA (My company provides service for them.... but I am under a whistleblower policy so I cannot disclose any further information.)
I hope you all realize, that the economy right now is really bad for any entertainment company to actually hire new people. In the last little while, there have been millions of job layoffs and cut offs. Actually, Radical Entertainment (a major entertainment company like EA), just did a
huge layoff in August. And that's not the
end of it.
Of course Nexon would be concentrating on their big moneymakers... with low staff and with this poor economy (which is practically a technical recession), Nexon is trying to play things safe and doing what they can with what's important, and with who they have.
... it's business as usual.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did cut off on some of their games (like Audition) as well... it takes time and money to run these games.... and money and time is what Nexon really needs right now.
haha wow I haven't been logged in here forever, there's no way im reading over 100+ replies, but Kimmeh, i'm currently going to the art institute of vancouver for 3d modeling hoping to get a starting job with a company like EA or actually Ubisoft is coming to my college tommorrow with a presentation, but I should have my degree in 6 months
It's good too see someone actually from the industry explaining things, just wish you could do that on the nexon forums...the other day my instructor announced that nexon vancouver closed their doors and laid off 90+ employees, note though this would not affect the games nexon hosts, but it's obviously gonna affect progress such as updates/patches etc... anywho things are looking pretty down everywhere and it really makes me sick how nexon audition's players would rather literally hack the game to shreds while the economy is already in a crysis then help it ya kno? what happened to honor these days... anyways if you don't mind it's always good to be networked with people whom work in the industry so if you don't mind adding me to your msn at
Grieverxvii@hotmail.com I can ask you for critiques or feedback on projects and my demo reel etc when it comes time. could always use a professional standpoint
edit:
Also forgot to mention one thing though, In my honest opinion from discussing with friends/instructors and my own experiences, customer service is what makes a company most successful and nexon just does not have a good customer service. in all of this mess all i could say is the LEAST they could do is inform people of what's happening, and etc. cuz you think about company's like EVGA who sells nvidia products, their number 1 and reason being and alot will agree is because they offer the best customer service and go out of their way most of the time to help you out and that's why they stay with evga and give their money to evga. and with nexon, customer service just isn't there sadly...yet.
