A bit late on getting into the conversation but,
There were a few other areas to quote, but I'm lazy atm. Anyway, first off, this is NEXON. If you are familiar with another NEXON game called Mabinogi, they have Rebirth. It costs NX. I quit Mabi after beta closed for this very reason. If you honestly think that NEXON would release something that would destroy a profit making system for FREE, you must have a few screws loose. More targeted at NEXON than you, so try not to take it personally.
Oh, that and destroying game balance, etc.
But I do agree with the point that Maple is outgrowing the system design it was raised on. While we all make our self-centered requests at "balance", it ultimately is destroying what was there in the prior age of Maple.
We want higher level mobs with stats increased proportionately for higher level characters, but then people can't hit/survive them. We want to be able to hit/survive all monsters, then we void the disadvantage that was there intentionally to create balance. We want melee classes to do more damage, and for some reason that doesn't work out
.
Well, regardless, I don't believe that maple can continue to expand upwards since the design just doesn't work that way, like quantum mechanics and relativity. The only real way would be to redesign all stats, skills, and battle mechanics; ultimately making a new game. And... the way they've been shafting old players left and right, that doesn't seem to far from reality.
Oh, and anyone else spooked by that mention of adding PK to the game
.

and a max HP washed NL is pretty much a godclass because they do the most dmg at boss and they can survive better than unwashed warriors...
rebirth is just a cheap way of eliminating the need of hp wash
