But old maplestory had less content, with all of the easy content geared towards lower players and the fun, challenging content (horntail and pink bean) geared towards the high level community with a massive gap of grinding and gearing up until you could reach that point. Now think about an alternative universe where nexon releases a legacy server for pre big bang, are new players really going to play a downgraded version of maplestory? and are nostalgia driven veterans really going to play it seriously? Most of us are at the age where we would be either in college/university or working?
Do you honestly think a pre-big bang server would be successful? Maybe for a month or two but what about later on when players have been playing the same patch for a year?
But there you go, your question answered. When should we stop asking for a pre-big bang server? We never had the right to anyway...
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but this post is almost entirely based on preference.
-The total amount of content does not matter that much, what really counts is play time and quality of that spent time.
-By no means does easy always equal bad. (CPQ says hi)
-I would make the case that if someone was not having fun until they got to fight HT or PB then they are playing the game wrong.
-A gap differentiating pros from noobs, I consider to be a positive. A lightly competitive atmosphere can be seen as being something important.
-Mentioning school and work is not relevant. Players of all ages were always a part of Maplestory so demographics has no bearing on PreBB. (no more so then it would on the current Maple)
I don't know if you are aware but on the Nexon forum there is a section called Suggestions & Feedback. I wouldn't consider it a "right" to make suggestions but for reference, Nexon did ask for them.
There are a lot of claims in the post but almost none of them have evidence to support what is being said. Meanwhile there are several examples of internet games successfully operating old and new versions in tandem. As a result, the games are able to maintain a larger population of new and returning players then what might otherwise be possible.
Players could try asking Nexon about it and we will see what happens.
