We have absolutely no evidence that things will be bad, other than MapleStory 1 being bad (and it really didn't start off bad, either, outside of some generic KMMO downfalls, it got bad much later). They announced this game five years ago and absolutely nothing afterwards, which implies a heavy development time, which is something that is extremely desirable and implies actual thought into what they are doing.
All we have is a generic teaser trailer and a very, very, very blurry picture from early in the development. There's basically nothing to base your pessimism on.
I have absolutely no care or hype for the game myself until I see anything other than a generic teaser site, but I'm not going to say that the game is guaranteed to be bad, because there's simply no grounds for that. It was already stated that a completely different development team is working on it, which can make all of the difference. For all we know, the problems of MS1 are simply because of the Development team is stale and out of ideas, and just milking their game until people finally give up on it.

It being further along at this point is nothing but expected. You can argue that they let MS get bad intentionally, but arguing that this timing has anything at all to do with it being bad is stupid.
And yeah, you can think that, but we aren't going to know until 3 things happen: it is released in america, the game has been out long enough in korea to see patches, and the american hackers tear it up for a while.
Like I said, that was just my opinion lol. Obviously you guys think different, so cool beans
Takebacker Wrote:You must really like these friends of yours if you're so unwilling to make more...I actually have only talked to like 3 of them one time in the past year. I just have no desire to go on this game, or any other online game for that matter, and meet "new friends". I was totally willing 6 years ago when I was 17, but obviously I've matured a little more and am past that part of my life.
I honestly hope MS2 is a success, but I have my doubts. The way I see it, they've seen how much money they can drain from people playing a terrible game like MS1 over the past couple years, so what's to stop them from trying the same thing on this one? Remember, it's still a Nexon game, and we all know they like their money.
