Let MAC users play Maple Story

As you can see, these people any many more would like to see the game Maple Story available for the Mac computer system.

Opponents state that a Mac Maple story is not needed, referring to the fact that Mac users can run Boot camp or programs like Parallels to run windows and still play the game. But the problem with this argument is the cost for Mac users, Windows emulation programs like VM Ware and Parallels are very expensive (cost $80.00) plus the cost of a Windows XP disk (around $120.00). Even with Boot Camp (which is free, runs only on Intel Macs) you are still required to buy a Windows XP disk for Boot Camp to work. This is not fair to the Mac user because Maple Story is supposed to be a FREE game to play. It is unfair for Mac users to have to pay around 120.00 to 200.00 for a game that is free for everyone else.

Many game companies have chosen to make their games available for Mac. Games like World of Warcraft made by Bilzzard and Dofus created by Ankama have catered to the Mac user, even though this might have taken some extra work and time coding, these companies went the extra mile when thinking about their users. This games have gotten much of their popularity because of this extra effort that they put in to accommodate Mac users. I personally thank both of these companies for doing this.

So i was explaining this dilemma to my father, who happens to be a very successful lawyer, and he says if i can just get a sufficient amount of players to sign: their name, their world, and their email; we should be able to fix this.

1st Goal: 500 signatures

2nd Goal: 1,000 signatures ( i will be using more site to receive signatures rather than just basilmarket.com)

After I collect 500 signatures. I will send a customer support email to Nexon, as well as a letter to their P.O Box, about non-compatibility for Macs. Here is the letter that I will send them.

Dear Whom It May Concern,

I would like to submit a formal request to Nexon, the creators of the MMORPG Maplestory. I realize that you are very busy and don't have much time to read emails that are sent in to you. I'm am writing this letter because I am in the minority. I do not own a PC that runs Microsoft XP. I am a Mac user. I'm not here to complain, I bet you hear enough of that already. I just want our voice to be heard...the voice of the Mac gaming community.

There are thousands of people that would like to be able to play Maplestory, individuals that would be able to contribute and enrich the growing Maplestory community. These individuals would be paying customers earning your company valued profits, no different from the PC users already playing now. Unfortunately, the way things are, the Mac user is left out. They are unable to join this growing community of gamers and play a very fun game.

I urge you to take some time to look over this petition that I created. At the link below, hundreds of Mac users have signed their names and their real emails as well, showing their earnest support for porting Maplestory to the minority computer operation system.

In conclusion, I hope that you take into consideration what I have written. I know that your company has created a very successful videogame that many people around the world enjoy. I realize that the number of Mac users compared to everyone else is small. But the impact that you could make by creating a Mac compatible version of Maplestory would be enormous.

Thank you so much for your time,
Nexon game design fans,
Samantha

Once again, to sign appropriately (even if you don't use a MAC and you are just helping out others)
You must include - Your first name, last name, email address (my dad says they might check the emails to see if the signatures are true Nexon users)
and u can include a comment *optional*

So... join me and help us change Nexon! If this works, we can try to use this petition or a new one to increase Nexon's hack-shield security!

We, the undersigned, call on the creators of the game Maple Story (Wizet) to stop the delay, and get serious about making a Mac version of their great game. They are loosing valuable potential players due to the limited audience and computer platform that they have constructed their game for.

Let Wizet know that WE WANT MAPLE ON A MAC!
