if they did id play again

im with you on that one man

this isnt runescape

But its still a good idea.

Vouch. Haven't played since around then

Ya dun say?

the simple version of this game was best, and tbh its some anime thriller wannabe now

used to be a challenge it no longer is, plus boring

WHy do you think they did maor map/character updates and all things pertaining to updates sinse 2007? It was because the game needed to evolve, it needs to keep up with other mmorpgs when it comes to gaming attributes. 07 MS is inferior to this 2013 ms for obvious reasons. If people wanted 07 back and there was anough people voting to change it back, don't you think they'd take that into perspective? If 07 MS was put back into use then people would definetley stop playing. It's the other wayh around.

Umm. Have you checked any of the servers free markets lately? Khaini, Bellocan etc all used to have 30+ people spamming in the entrance trying to trade, now there are 0 every time I check. The game is shit and everyone knows it is failing and losing players. I played casually for about a month and a half, in that time I barely saw any other players, maybe 2-5 a day.

You just named some of the least active servers, even if so, you say theres like nobody on, theres still some people on, and switching to 07 will make it EVEN LOWER.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Khaini/Bellocan had massive populations there were always people around and very active. They now are some of the least active servers because the game is dying out due to how many stupid updates there have been since 07.

Nexon is greedy, game became pay to win the second they introduced potential. Games super fun when you don't even need a party or teamwork right?

I played off and on since before the cashshop was even introduced, the game was so much fun back then. Grinding for panlids at green mushrooms in henesys. Then later on after cash shop was introduced just trying to get to 3rd job, then later on doing Zakum runs with 6-12 people using apples and selling the ZHelms, hoping one day your group would be able to do horntail. You actually had to work hard and dedicate time to get anywhere. Now some people can get to level 200 in less than a week, some new person can just start the game and be richer than people who have played for months/years.

Pathetic. Every single person I know who played Maple quit within months of potential being introduced. Most of them had been playing since the cash shop was just introduced or before that.

Heck even this MS section used to be semi populated, now look at it lol. 1m:1fg even then having trouble selling it? Used to be 1fg:30k-50k and easy sales.


Edit: Oh and in case you didn't know, the reason for this red update was because Maplestory was losing so many players that they needed to try and spark interest in it again in order to retain players. It doesn't seem to of worked. Even the company knows they screwed up but they are going to keep bleeding people dry until there are so few players that the game just shuts down.

I'm not saying switch it back to 07, that is impossible. People have invested real money into the game to get items that would disappear if reverted. I am saying they never should of changed the game by adding potential in the first place. They could try and bump interest in the game by making cubes available for mesos or only 1 cube type in cashshop rather than like 20, and make 1 or 2 servers have no potential system, remove the limitations on transferring items within the same account so that your Shadower can wear same gear as your NL etc.
