The thing that impresses me about this is MapleSEA's openness about new content.
GMS pre-plans all new content and keeps it very hush hush from the players until a day before the patch. They get angry when we know anything about content that isn't available in-game. Yet, SEA has all of these polls that almost encourage people to do research on new areas. They aren't hiding anything, even the existence of the newest class.
While this poll may not actually change anything, it's still a great way to create hype, and maybe even move the process a long a little faster. Also no where in there does it say they'll release it if it gets the most votes or anything to that effect. It's just asking what the people would like to play as and like I said, creating hype. Anyone who hadn't bothered to look up A(h)ran may now do so just because they're unsure of what it is.
In short Asiasoft > Nexon.
