“It is difficult to express the tragedy of losing our friend and mentor Jay Kim, a man who had an immeasurably positive impact on the world,” Nexon CEO Owen Mahoney said in the statement. “As a founder and visionary leader, Jay encouraged those around him to ignore the skeptics and trust their creative instincts. He will be deeply missed by his Nexon family and many friends.” Kim founded Nexon in 1994 and transformed it into one of Asia’s top videogame companies. Nexon developed the first MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), The Kingdom of the Winds, in 1996. One of its most famous games is MapleStory, launched in 2003, which has more than 180 million registered users worldwide. MapleStory pioneered the free-to-play model where users play games for free but pay for virtual items and accessories. Nexon moved its headquarters from South Korea to Japan in 2005.

Famously media-shy, Kim retired from day-to-day management in 2006. In 2016, Kim was found Since then, Kim has focused on philanthropy. He founded C Program, a ventu...

• Why is my Nexon Game Card being converted to a different currency type when I redeem it? • • • • • • • • Why is my Nexon Game Card being converted to a different currency type when I redeem it? Due to an update in our checkout system, redemption values are no longer calculated solely on the currency type used to purchase Nexon Game Cards. Instead, redemption values are based on the country/billing location registered to your Nexon account and the supported currency closest to your locale. Example If you purchase a $10 USD Nexon Game Card, and your Country Code/Billing Country is GB - United Kingdom, then $9.77 of the USD card is converted to a £7 GBP card before you redeem it for NX. (In this instance, $9.77 USD is the maximum amount allowed for conversion.) Based on current conversion rates, you can redeem the £7 GBP card for 8,050 NX (1GBP=1150NX; 7GBP * 1150NX = 8050NX total). Note: You never lose any currency remainder that is not converted, such as the $0.23 USD in the above example. Any remaining amount stays on your card as unused balance, which you can combine with another Nexon Game Card anytime using the If I can buy USD/EUR Nexon Game Cards, why can’t I just redeem them for NX in USD/EUR? Previously, certain countries/regions were restricted to purchasing prepaid game cards (formerly called Karma Koin cards) using a specific currency type. For example, those in Israel could purchase only EUR cards. While you can now purchase Nexon Game Cards in any available c...
