Players don't want new content as much as they want a better quality game. (in terms of speed, fps and lack of bugs)

Well, only as long as this better quality concern the current MS. We Maplers all know that there are hundreds of games with better quality out there. What I think we do not want is A) Another form of graphics, like 2,5D or, dreaded thought, 3D, and B) to start over from scatch after 5 years in a game that is similar to the first. I really do not think they could win with a brand new game called MS2 when it comes to the devoted users of Maple. Unless our efforts carry over in any meaningful way that is.

Not to forget the brand new and refined game mechanics that would be much easier to get if they just made a new game with a new engine, rather than sticking with the current engine(which by todays standards isn't really great), and it would also be easier to get better graphics(not having skill effects be made out of a single sprite for each frame would be a good example). A MapleStory 2 could probably improve on more things than updating the current game could(again, we're stuck with quite a few bad things in the current game).

Punch monster looks great. If MS ever gets a sequel i hope it's similar to punch monster but better

I'd be totally okay with 2.5D. Same style of gameplay, smoother look, less lag.
While I value my efforts and accomplishments in MS, I still accept that eventually, they'll have to pull the plug on it. I don't think it's realistic to expect items/levels to be transferrable. I'd treat a 2nd MapleStory in the same way I'd treat any other new game. If it looks good, I'll play it. I'm sure the initial transition would cause a lot of rage, but it would work out in the long term.
Anyway, G-Star ends tomorrow and I don't think Nexon has talked about MapleStory at all yet. They got a lot of attention with Mabinogi: Heroes, though.

Honestly the only charm Maple holds for me is the 2D pixel sprite style, without that I would have no interest in it whatsoever.
When they add new areas like the Kerning Mall with smooth drawn sprites I just facepalm.

Maybe they're saving the best for last. And Nexon is probably good enough to keep the "Maple"-feel while making a good new game. Nexon Korea has been improving a lot lately.
