Sorry Reboot but you killed Maplestory

Kindly, why not actually getting back to the game before doing another of these?
Your thoughts haunt you way too much for not having an up to date experience.

Are you insinuating that any of the multiple suggestions I made in this thread, use out of date information? If so then that would be a serious accusation and if that were the case then how about quoting whichever comment seems inaccurate? I'm willing to double check stuff when its needed.

Pikamemnon threads in a nutshell: I prefer old MapleStory and so do my friends that I know, therefore MapleStory is completely ruined.

As a matter of fact, one of the time periods in Maplestory that I prefer the best of all is the part right after Big bang. (which is not recognized as either new or old Maple but that is a matter of opinion)
When the game got PvP put in but before they tried to add Capture the flag. I'd say that time frame was the highlight of the game for many reasons and it was one of the few times that players and Nexon seemed to be on the same page. Massive revamps all around, and plenty of new things going on at once. Even if the big update was not perfect it was super ambitious. I would go so far as to say that Big bang was awesome in the very beginning.

How I see it, what started "ruining" the game (at least for GMS) was something small and it was gradual. In the process of trial and error, taking in feedback and making adjustments is a very important part of it but this was only done in half baked ways or ignored for years for the most part. Could potential or Nebulites have been revamped to better suit the audience? I don't see why not but were the GMS players asked about it? Not that I know of. That is just one example of how chances to cater to the players were missed and instead the game was made to keep plowing forward no matter what any players said.

For a while there was something called the Maple leaf council. Which was a group of players that were brought together to help facilitate communication between the community and Nexon. Apparently the entire party was steam rolled into oblivion. I forget the official reason why the group was disbanded but it seemed like a good idea.

I will admit that having GMS only copy + paste from KMS is not the worst option (since some players don't have major issues with that and I would say there is nothing "specifically" wrong with modern Maplestory) but it is also a wasted chance to customize the game to fit each player base. Although small traces of feedback being utilized do pop up, on occasion.

So anyway after Maple plows ahead in one direction for a few years, it eventually reaches a crossroads with Reboot. I think this is a choice that could have been avoided but time will tell if it turns out good or if it turns out some other way.
