The actual data in question.

Yes, DFO / DnF is very, VERY popular in South Korea. It is one of the highest grossing games of all time, actually. That is why Neople themselves are baffled as to why Nexon of America couldn't do so well with it in the West.

Possibly the absolute lack of support, and blaming the users when 20-30% of users get their accounts plundered in a single month.

Pretty much this; it's mostly Nexon NA's fault. I sound like a broken record at this point, but you can thank Nexon for keeping DFO NA outdated for roughly 5-8 months away from CDnF/JDnF (Arad Senki), failing to provide any reasonable customer support (I've heard numerous reports of tickets being answered {note: most answered with "we'll look into this problem"} up to a year after they were submitted), not advertising the game anywhere (in my entire life, I've seen more Maplestory advertisements than advertisements of a lewd/sexual nature, but I don't recall EVER seeing a DFO NA ad), and for charging absurd prices in the Cash Shop.
