Joining the Facebook fan page is at your own discretion. All the information is public, you can see it without becoming a fan. There's very little they offer exclusively to fans, aside from random NX give-aways that you have to be a FB stalker to win.
Displaying the fans is default for Facebook. Everything on Facebook is Facebook's responsibility, not Nexon's, so I don't see how Nexon is at fault for supporting a popular online community.
Personally, I think Nexon fails pretty hard as a company, but I don't hate them. A lot of the hate is blind rage imo ("omg I have to change my password every 3 months?!?! FU NEXON!!!"). Customer Service is the only thing I really despise about them, the long maintenances, service changes, and everything else is pretty tolerable.
When I mentioned facebook, it is more posting it directly on the site. Almost every company that has joined the facebook trend does this though, and it is really a stupid thing to do.
Than again, people are stupid for joining Facebook in general, but thats another rant =}.

Nexon isn't p2p though.
They don't make nearly as much money as Blizzard.
They go too far with this excuse of course, but its still a valid excuse for at least HALF the crap they pull on us.
Uh... Nexon isn't P2P, however they do things in such a way where paying money gives an extreme advantage over other players.
Also, while Blizzard makes a lot, they put a lot of their money back into their games: paying highly trained staff, making sure all their servers can easily support their population, and that their network runs smoothly the majority of the time.
Nexon, who DOES make a lot of money (I know people who spend a few hundred dollars on cards a week), is on subpar equipment (I'm sure everyone has noticed the random channel crashes?), a highly congested network due to being stingy on quality (Don't say 'well, they have million of players!!!111', as Blizzard has a higher population, and they run perfectly fine), and their staff is laughable.

Had it up to here with the attitude, personally. If you have issues, talk about the issues individually, and sure I have a few. But blind rage? no.
This isn't rage, its more a rant. And I always am sure to point out my issues, rather then just hating on the company.
My lack of respect from Nexon stems from the poor support they supply, and the lack of respect for their population. Any MMO I have played has tried their best to keep their players safe, whereas Nexon has ignored 20 tickets I have submitted, all with a different security issue that is in dire need of fixing (These issues go from crashing their server, crashing channels, hijackin weblaunch sessions, and other serious problems). None of the tickets have gotten a response, nor do I even think they were viewed.

Hey now.
Every once in a while Nexon makes you want to kick a small animal.
"We banned 2000 players randomly to show that duplicating gold is bad. Have a nice day."
"Edit: Fixed a bug in which characters who have reached level 50 are randomly banned. If you have already been banned, please submit a ticket for review."
"You're right. We have confirmed that you did indeed lose the item you said you lost. However, we cannot refund the item with the enchant and the color. So the Pure Black Dustin armor you had with Marble on it is now going to be refunded as a puke green regular dustin with no marble enchant."
2000 legitimate players randomly***
Ban first, investigate never! That has always been Nexons motto.

rather have nexon then lets say.....ijji.
Friggen wanted to punch a toddler when I found out what they did to DFO's exp tables, though.
ijji is bad too.
So are the people running Florensia, so is Perfect World Entertainment (They allow a pedophile to run free and troll, all because he spends tons of money with them), and so are most other free game companies.
I miss the old attitude you would find in video games, whether it was the company, or it was the players (Saying that makes me feel old as all hell).
Now all these companies are completely concerned with money, and less with the quality of their product, and the players are basically just meme spouting 4chan failtrolls.

Mabi is my favorite game.
Nexon is my least favorite company. I don't hate all of them, but I hate the guys who make the big decisions which results in the normal staff having no choice but to do retarded things.
I like Mabinogi; the concept is probably one of the most original, and it is one of the few games I actually intend to stay with (Diablo II was the last one, and that was because I ran that economy with an iron asian fist!).
I just honestly wish it weren't Nexon. I really do.
I like a few of the GM's, but ther IT crew is a joke, their developers aren't worth mentioning, and I still am shocked at the lack of a QA department (Though I think they're trying to start one...), and a BETA testing team. Every upgrade should have had at least a week of limited testing, just to work out the major bugs... Like random crashing due to a bad .dll (St Patrick event?), inability to login (Initial addition of weblaunch), and however many things have happened.
