How many people are REALLY still playing Maplestory?

...How is this relevant? That maplestory before is better than what it has become now? I think that's a well thought out fact, it's not even a content issue it's an NX dependency issue. What you do is chores, not play a game. Again, for all you current players, like most, ya know, valid scientific theories, are backed up by actual facts than opinions. Population decline is all I really need to point out, especially how drastic it is. You do realize this is the worst summer in maplestory history right?

You assume it's a fact. Old Maple had just as many issues as current maple does, if not more. You people that are stuck with the ideals of old Maple seem to forget that on a regular basis. A majority of what you're saying is based on your opinions.

Granted, MS is largely dependent on NX, however, the game has come quite a ways from when potential first came out in regards to being more accessible to non-nx buyers, and hopefully will continue to improve in such ways.

Also, you're always calling everyone a masochist and getting into these debates. Doesn't that make you the masochistic one?
