Nexon will soon be a thing of the past as the announcement of a new MMO web portal arises; named in a gleeful manner, BlockParty.com is set to become a new MMO web portal for Nexon. More details after the break.

All MMORPGs currently released by Nexon and MMORPGs that are yet to be released will still be hosted in the transition to BlockParty. The large difference is the addition of the social elements. There will be the addition of personalized player profiles, real-time news updates and even an achievement system. And, to help bring people together there will be the inclusion of buddy lists and a invite system that will like the website interface with the game interface. Certain games will even gain the ability to launch through the browser with the new BlockParty portal.

Nexon tells us that the project has been in the works for several years. So this may be a great change of view for the Nexon game pages, certainly it promises plenty of new features. But, already there are already some parts of the community that are speaking down on the upcoming change to BlockParty. They have their reasons as new systems comes with new bugs and most are worried that may hinder their gaming experience.What are your thoughts? Is change good or bad?
