Maplestory is not dying, it is already deceased

You're just going to have to take my word for it but nothing has changed. The management still doesn't understand what to prioritize, they are criticized and tied down by KR publisher. Literally it's half the reason they do ban wipes, because every single account is criticized, KR treats them with as much skepticism without acknowledging the comparison of ease of access. There was already like 12 NDA breaks they had a huge meeting about awhile ago.

Point is, the same problems are here, no 'we are trying our best' is going to resolve that. The reason why I listed out game changes is because I was questioned on what I would change about the game. If you want to talk company, my list would be a hell of a lot longer.

Also regarding the twitch stream, I mean, dont put it up as an example if there's context like that behind it. I don't play TW, I don't know anything about taiwan besides watch out for lady-men

The reason I've used the TW example is because even on a foreign site such as Twitch there's a good traffic that's leaking through Youku and Chinese sites on an (old) game such as (T)MS, Compared to the HUGE LoL TW streams vs other games but maple streams I find it impressive, I hope you understand.

Well they are adding a lot of stuff and they addressing the lack of content during 210~250 it isn't just effort, because it is working in many markets, the game is in a really good healthy state actually, you can get high amount of accessibility to content and money with a good effort that isn't KMMORPG grinding hell, I am dead serious and the game becomes less and less Pay2Win I kid you not, them making S,cubes not get you below Epic and Toad Hammer saved the game essentially, As in for everything being Ultimate attack based, Well.... it's too late to fix that but they are changing boss mechanics to fix that, grinding maps got a tad larger too (Heaven, World tree, Twlight Persion) since Unlimited.

Why does GMS slips through? I wish someone could actually give a solid answer to everyone here, I think it does need flames to start with though.

Yes I've mentioned the whole KR-NA relationship but can I ask why do you think it has so much impact (on non ban wipe stuff), Say if NA wasn't limited by KR what would happen?

[MENTION=789]Five Second Pose[/MENTION]; No I clearly have more understanding than you, If you don't understand how the TW/CN market of gaming goes and do not get how little they go onto this kind of site compared to what's locally there, just like how Koreans go to Afreecatv and NOT twitch clearly.
Well Khaini just stated some of the issues which are holding GMS back, and do not allow it to breath as it should, A LOT of the improvements are not getting through KMS to GMS FYI, something which I haven't mentioned clearly but here now I've said it (earlier too with toad), on the other hand Progression in GMS isn't half bad either, Gollux items are OP honestly and having meister cubes that drop was a good addition, A lot of the things which available on the Korean Market ARE NOT ON GMS MAYBE THAT'S PART OF THE ISSUE and not purely the basis of the game, because that argument is dull or else GMS would never be active throughout 05~13, Grinding was always tedious, it is still tedious, As I've said the game is getting older and that could explain the player bleed just like I told Pika up there, Only global is so called fading away and there are a lot of reasons, part of which the game is getting older, it does have competition, and primarily it isn't improving and getting rid of the Pay2Win Shackles as well as KMS, on the other hand, reboot does exist, what could this logically explain? the game is not as appealing like before which is OK, it DOES have heavy competition over that side of the world and so on however saying it is DEAD is foolish.
