RAGE AHOy

Considering that that's from April of 09, I'm gonna have to say (things that benefit 15x+, but are not specifically limited to them):

Temple of Time - New Training areas for certain classes Temple of time isn't all that great for training. It's not as good as skelegons IMO
Maker - The ability to upgrade to Reverse equips Ok, I agree with you there. Maker is tremendously useful
Mu Lung Dojo - Belts (Also the Witch Belt Event, I guess) Mu lung dojo was awesome...for about a week before it became tedious. It doesn't get much use with the release of attack belts. The witch belt event was a huge failure if you ask me.
Cygnus Knights - The ability to get Blessing They changed the system which essentially made cygnus knights useless for many. Why make a knight when I can leech an adventurer to 15x+ for better blessing?
The Secret Agent Event - Introduced some pretty fun equips, the best of all being the earrings Unfortunately the event was not permanent. In which case it hardly counts
Malaysia - Scarlion and Targa Helms Ok, I'll give you that as well. Scar and Targa are pretty fun to fight.

Yeah, some of those were a stretch, but they did kinda deliver on their promise, and 2009 was a pretty good year. While it's stupid of me to be assume this, I'm sure that they have some pretty nice things lined up for 2010 as well. NexonKR's new high level area may not be a great as we expect it to be, but we should get it by the end of the year, and it should be something. We just have to be patient, the game's not going anywhere.

I agree with some of your points but disagree with others. The problem a lot of us have is that they took something intended for end game level players and nerfed it for piss ant lvl 80's to enjoy. We were looking forward to the challange of Neo Tokyo. So what if half of us would die as soon as we walk in? I'm sure many of us haven't had the thrill of near death experiences while exploring in several months, perhaps years.

I for one just don't see why the low level crowd need yet more additional content catered to them. I highly doubt there are many level 50 players who are going to go out of their way to try out all 5 of the party quests available for their level, let alone explore the several dozen maps and towns in the game that suit their level. If anything they're likely to post yet another "Hey where do I train at x level" thread to get to 4th as fast as they can. In case Nexon hasn't noticed, there are many areas in the game that have become ghost towns. A quick show of hands please. How many of you even remember Omega Sector? What about Korean Folk? My point exactly.

There isn't much variety as far as end game level activity goes in MapleStory. Two training locations, a single PQ, and a few bosses. That's not even counting the fact that the majority of those bosses have so much drama and corruption tied to them that they're inaccessible to the majority of the community. The only challenging boss left at end game level requires at least a week of hunting for exceedingly rare etc drops.

Anyone care to wager how long it will take for Neo City to become just as empty as Omega Sector?
