I would bring 99% of the systems KMS have (SF, Nexon Trade, tradeable craftable Cubes/Flames, etc) and headshoot everything added as "GMS only content" (Nebs, crappy SF, crappy RW shop, Crappy CS, NX Staff, etc) besides Comerci. I would hire way more people focused on killing hacks and taking down abusers. After that I would just invest some money into making server stable and specific Customer Support for MS and adding the requirement that, to work for MapleStory, you need to approve a test about it.
Like I always say this game is not the one we played 7years ago. Why would you make the current game go back to this nostalgia pomegranate? Everything in life changes, if you cant deal with that you might need to seek professional help. Even MS2 was a nostalgia game and after playing it for a while people wanted it to evolve. A game that doesnt evolve will eventually die.
EDIT: Oh well and of course. I would revamp the whole crating system. To make it more up to date. Making it possible to dissasemble more items at the same time and able to get more options to craft. Better set effects and awesome equips (up to 170) that can be crafted with untradeable boss-droped materials that would have a rank system, something like "Broken Lucid Wing fragment" to "Fantastic Lucid Wing fragment", to make the item get better options if best materials are used (making possible for everyone to have same equips but with different tiers) and making a fusion of materials possible so you can upgrade them if X amount is fused. Make Profession skills level up bit by bit (so its not abused by hackers) and add Level-ups based on achievements on your character (from Maxing traits, to Killing X amount of times X&X bosses) "To craft a Lucid Equipment with "Fantastic Pieces" you need to have defeated her X amount of times with a full party" "Higher chances of getting better equipment materials from killing with your whole party Alive" And so on. These equips would be on pair with Boss equips but it would take almost the same amount of effort to get, this way you have more options to use besides the "BiS" lists that make everyone have the same crappy items without any difference. Making some sets add either more matt% or att% or boss% or idr% so anything you choose is well thought based on your character/equips requirements.
