What I want, what I'll get and what others want are three views on this game that never seem to mesh well. Do I and others want Maplestory to be an engaging adventure with plenty of story and quests behind it? Yes. Do I want to summon all the great adventure writers and movie makers into a room then have all their ideas be put into the game so that the adventure never, EVER ends and the point of the story is lost a bajillion pages before it finishes? No. That is where the expectations arise. How much do you want to care about two dimensional pixel characters which live in a mystical world of seemingly random, if not crazy, design? You may want there to be a love story or some sort of end to the story or quests which take you a long time but give you a good reward. I see the point of having a bit if not lots more of this. The main problem of that is you are making a game, not a series of books. Last time I checked, games are meant to be fun. If you need to have 500 pages of 5-star quality adventure story behind this or any other game you may be asking too much.
Now for what I want. I want events and new quest lines/areas that are fun and have a theme. I used to like playing a lot around Halloween/Christmas time for example because of the fun quests and events there was and the rewards for them. The past few years for those types of events have been disappointment after disappointment. Like people have said before, they have gone into too much of a recycling phase and just want to make new classes to get more money. The fun of random events like the ones I said, or even any of the events they have now, is not there. I mean, they even have us collecting water drops and dirty water for Rwandan people. It's not that I don't support them having an event like that but I hate that they are only going to give $10,000 to the charity. This is a company that makes billions upon billions of dollars off people and they only give $10,000 to this charity through OUR time and effort? I think we've finally become the outsourced Indian people to this company
