Are you kidding me?! You obviously didn't play during Wizet's reign. It was horrible. Almost everyone hacked, you could never find an unhacked map (Wraiths, Kitties in Orbis, etc.) and all the hackers didn't care because they knew they wouldn't get banned.
Everyone was out to scam each other to get on top, not to mention that people started finding out their best friends hacked, and didn't know what to think; do you hate them because they ruin MS, or do you just hide your feelings about hacking?
You don't know what you're talking about, because GMS used to be horrible. Why do you think lots of former GMSers moved to JMS/KMS/MSEA?
You are both wrong. Before Nexon appeared, there weren't many hackers really. The main problem was that Wizet used to run on pocket money and a handful of employees, there weren't ANY updates. Nothing really happened when it was Wizet alone. When Nexon came along, they put the big money and started to enforce some rules. Little after Nexon joined, the Cash shop was implemented, and a bit after that, hackers started to appear. That's when Gameguard was implemented, still the hacker problem wasn't that big. The real problem was during summer 2006 and it continued until recently, but before there wasn't ANY problem finding good maps against hackers, you'd have problems with overpopulation, not hackers.
It was only after Nexon came that we started having all these updates and better service, and new worlds. Before that, nothing really would happen. So I sincerely don't believe you played "since Beta".
No, NX Cash was implemented when Cash Shop came, but Nexon didn't make too much of a appearance at the time.
If I'm not mistaken, when Nexon took over, it was pretty quiet. It was just an announcement in the site, but the funding was there and cash started when they joined in, or maybe a little before. It was a few weeks after Nexon joined that they changed the name to Nx Points, and added the Nexon logo to the game startup.
Also everytime someone got banned back then a little blue notice would pop up in the messaging bar.
