"MapleStory 2"

I've been proposing this for months. The introduction of all of the new classes should be leading into a spin off or a sequel to Maplestory. The game is in a sense coming to an end with its current plot (by coming to an end I'm only implying within the foreseeable future).

Well, if Nexon is still planning updates for winter of 2010 and summer of 2011 (That's how I read it, people keep saying summer of 2010 but why would winter be mentioned first? Maybe it's stupid Spadow, especially since I wasn't able to translate that interview on Google), this MapleStory 2 shouldn't be coming around for a long time. And you can't have the Black Magician without all of the legend classes, so we've got some time. The Black Magician IS the plot, so if we have to wait for all these classes (otherwise Nexon's using Nexon AMERICA's logic) just to see the Black Magician, what new plot is there to come?

For all of you panicking over the first game entirely shutting down, simmer down a bit and think for a second. Not exactly MMO's, but many times when a new game comes out in a console game there is never an entire transition. Many people still play the game before it because they enjoy it more than its successor.

Seventh grade teacher loved to say "Simmer down". We mocked it, but I hated hearing it from her. Your logic is true, but you don't spend hundreds and THOUSANDS of dollars extra just to progress! 35 bucks for 6 hours, kay. Five thousand dollars for a million hours!? Then they deleted the link to MapleStory.exe and your life was finished. You became BROKE! Do note the lovely exaggeration~

Anyways, this has me pretty excited. I'd like to see a new game, a new story line, and some revamped sprites and completed quest lines. The idea of the game taking place in the past seems like a plausible (and cool) idea

Unless the Nexon Forum was right for once about MapleStory being Version 2.##.#, which I'm finding less likely by the hour, SCREW MAPLESTORY 2. Just update MapleStory 1 and keep all of the players. It seems hard to notice, but for the NX-rewarding event last year when you invited "friends", tons of people invited themself. These accounts were to credit toward new people. I bet you they made a hundred new players and thousands of accounts coming from repeating IPs.... MapleStory 2 coming out to try to steal MapleStory 1 away will just unven things, maybe things will be equal. But why play MapleStory 1 when you could play MapleStory 2? Or why play MapleStory 3D when you could be playing WoW? Poor points, but Nexon's trying to run themselves into the ground! Leeching coming to GMS will be a downfall, but if the 6 million users in North America are depended on to support both or all three games in a few years and they have to advertise through the devilishly SILLY commercials they use, I personally have a lack of hope.

Unserious Reply Besides the Bold: Now, I'm not complaining about inappropriate stuff on a Nexon website or being given comebacks all across the Funhouse, but I'm Mr. Flamebait anyway... fire away~

Serious Reply Besides the Bold: To be honest, I'm not exactly that concerned right now, but I don't want a MapleStory 2. I've wasted a lot of time to play a game, which I've enjoyed, but starting all over again is gonna be a bit much. Unless they can repair the senseless grinding featurette of the game, I honestly don't know what will tie me in to a fancied-up game that's already grasped the world. It's a world of gimmicks. This game we all play now has plenty of them, but they don't need to give the circus any more clowns or trapeze artists. I guarantee you I'm gonna end up playing this game and looking like a hypocrite, but at time of writing... Nexon has more viable options if you ask me.
