As far as I know, only the North American version of Trickster is being shut down. The Korean version is still getting new content updates, which actually do look very interesting...
I played Trickster a little over a year ago, and the game was kind of dead, even then. From what I've heard, it's gradually just gotten worse and without a playerbase, there's not much incentive for a company to keep a game going--my guess is it wasn't really profitable anymore.
MapleStory won't die anytime soon, unfortunately. While the playerbase has significantly decreased since it was in its prime, Nexon still makes a huuuuge profit off of us. Despite how much Nexon has pineappleed up, there are more than enough loyal maplers to keep the game going.
