Nexon Staff in BasilMarket

Lol, I wonder where Basil is hosted at.
Basil needs sponsers to get money to pay for a much better hosting, he shoulda known that the site would've been down.

Twitter: Oops I hope we didn't crash Basil Market! Sorry folks we are having some difficulties w/ the chat. Hope to be back soon!

I hope they take all the Q&A and post it later in something like a devblog.

lol basil... I knew something would prevent me from hearing info on Elemental Weapons, but I expected it ot be GM censorship.

Edit: I was given a copy of the Q&A, before it crashed and I was asked to post it elsewhere for now:

Q&A:

Eurydice:
Question:[c=#000000] After the Bigbang Patch, the NPC to enter the Visitor PQ was removed. Characters left inside are still able to PQ, but no one else can enter. Was this intended, and will the PQ ma
» So, short answer is it was intended to remove the Visitors PQ.
» But only because we could not implement it fully after Big Bang.
» We would like it to come back soon, but it will take a lot of work.
We know that some users are still able to do it, but that is not intentional and we will get it fixed soon.

Yadeera:
Question: When is the Chaos patch being released?
» Chaos will be coming out during the summer of 2011.

Eurydice:
Question: i want to know if masteria wil be developed more.
» Tough one. We have worked on Masteria expansions on and off for several years now.
» But none of every been taken as far as being tested.
We would still like to do an expansion, but currently it's not being worked on actively. That doesn't mean we have no plans to do something with Masteria.
» We are working on ways to continue the story in a way that would be satisfying to Maplers.

Yadeera:
Question: Do you guys work directly with Nexon Korea to help us get our content faster, or do you work pretty seperately?
» Our team works directly with our developers at Nexon Korea to create content for global MapleStory
Hadza:
We are currently disscussing what to do with Guild Party Quest in the upcoming guild revamp. We'll keep you posted!

Eurydice:
Question: are there any special events comming up soon?
» Yes! We have some classics like Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras, but we also have the Golden Temple coming back next month.

Eurydice:
Question: When are the remaining Heroes going to be released?
» We are taking a break from adding new classes for a little while.
We got a lot of feedback that new classes are coming too fast.
» We are going to focus on new content like quests, PQs, and events for a while before we add any new classes.

Yadeera:
Question: Will there be any more changes to Maps in MapleStory? If so, Which maps will be changed?
We are pretty happy with all of the map changes from Big Bang, so we do not plan on changing any at this time.

Eurydice:
Question: [c=#000000]Following the subject of too many of something too fast, is anything ever going to happen to motivate people to use worlds like Yellonde? It's a really depressing place right now[
» We are currently looking into some server restructuring that should ease this problem without getting rid of any worlds. Hopefully we can give you details soon.


Yadeera:
Question: Is there any thought regarding the revival of monster book? It was removed during big bang.
» Unfortunately most players did not find Monster Book very popular, so we do not plan to bring it back.

Hadza:
Question: Whenever you create or add new content to Maplestory, is there any type of process you use? If so, what are they?
» Great question! Yes, it’s actually a long and complicated process that is planned months in advance. We initially brainstorm ideas, then create a short proposal summarizing the content we want to crea
» te. We work with the development team in Korea to refine and fit it within the schedule. We start building the systems to support the new content, do internal testing and finally release it. The proce
» ss takes 6 to 7 months from start to finish.

Eurydice:
Question: [c=#000000]Is Lionheart castle going to be the relief we are all expecting? After BB 130+ training is even worse and has caused a large amount of frustration. Is it the amazing training spot
» Lionheart is pretty good for high level players. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
» As for high level players current struggles, we are listening.
» We know you are having a hard time now and we are looking into ways to make it better.

Eurydice:
Question: If monster book was removed for being unpopular, why keep the 7th day market? Everyone HATES it with a passion
» We actually didn't know you hated it so much. ^^
» If most players really feel that way, we can consider removing it.

Eurydice:
Question: To Eurydice: Is it fun writing up the Dev Blogs? Do you enjoy telling maplers whats going on behind the scenes?
Yes! I love it, but sometimes it is hard to come up with topics on a regular basis.
» If you have ideas, please post them in the forums!

I hope they take all the Q&A and post it later in something like a devblog.

I have it all. It's posted on the first post of this thread.

.......................

Oh my God, I feel your pain. The hundreds of hours you spent hunting for cards..

Anyways, that was kinda interesting.

I'm happy to see they finally started doing these again.

About Masteria.. that doesn't raise my hopes too much, but at least we know there's hope, and, most importantly, that they're planning to make a GOOD storyline (not like the HH II one) if they're ever going to bring it back. Would be really disappointing to see something s'hitty after Prose's masterpieces. Even if, sadly, we all know they will never be like his, at least we can hope for quests with a decent storyline.

Basil back up

lol basil... I knew something would prevent me from hearing info on Elemental Weapons, but I expected it ot be GM censorship.

Had0za:

Yea i asked about the element stats too

I have it all. It's posted on the first post of this thread.

Oh good, hope they didn't lost the questions I made to see if the answer any of them later when basil comes back up (too lazy to repost them).

Someone ask if the goggles were inspired by Southperry. Do it.

I got lucky question #1. I guess I won't hold my breath for VPQ.

Would have been nice to have answers to ele wand compensation,HT glitch and if they ever plan on more zak/ht channels before Basil went poof.

I think it crashed again.

Chat was up for a few secs, then the site bombed again.

And down again.

Did basil crash again? lol.

I think it crashed again.

They better extend the session lol.

Everyone ask about WT

They better extend the session lol.

This isnt a server check. They proved that already by starting early.
And everyone ask about elemental weapons.

They better extend the session lol.

Everyone ask about WT

World Tour is pretty worthless if you ask me.
And right before the 2nd crash, I saw people spamming "WHEN'S LHC COMING" and "NEXONS GAY" in the chat.

Welll..as useless as it is it's always nice to have new bosses to fight and areas to explore. With quests and any exclusive items that come with em.
