It's really simple. Maplestory is a game about upgrades, and seeing that progression and succeeding in goals. Just by giving a decent nx reward (2k for example) in every pq would encourage players to do said pq's for more than just experience. You make tiers of them, along with general items. Make meso sinks that are worthwhile, such as the totems, that whole high school event thing was engaging.

Ask yourself this, a private server, at a ridiculous accelerated rate compared to the actual game, still maintains end game player's attention for months, why can they do it, and not nexon?

Hmm that is a good point. The nx reward for doing things in game if they set the price right to still get people into buying NX. And that would help with making endgame content. But somehow I dont think that is enough. I know one of the big things has to be PQs. When I think of old maple(Mardia release to potenial) vs new maple (after that) The Biggest difference is interaction with other people. It was really easy back then to meet people during Ludi PQ and Maze PQ because:

1) you had to have people to do them
2) There was reason to do them
3) And it was Quantity over Quality.

So yes [MENTION=4235]KhainiWest[/MENTION]; I guess that does work. Just getting into specifics, they would have to change how the PQ's scale their level because the way it does now isn't good for what you mentioned. And totem's as a meso Sink is also good.

You point about how fast people can get through new maps vs new characters is probably why they make characters more often than places. And I also agree with you that more game play systems should be made. like Crafting,traits, honor and PVP. I think those content have the longest life.

I dont think they messed up the mechanics. The reason most everyone plays MS is because of the mechanics they have. Though some classes have more advance mechanics as well as bosses they aren't overly complicated or difficult to pull off. I do think some of the games mechchanics should become more complicated near endgame just to give players more options to complete the same task.

And im not saying you shouldnt complain. Actually Its good if you complain, other wise they will think everything is A-OK.
