[1.2.303] New jobs confirmed

I always thought of "MapleStory" as.. "My Character's Story."

All these jobs are nice and everything, but I think it's too much of an overload in terms of releasing. We just got Dual Bladers on the 25th of February. Evan we got sometime in December, and now we're getting these new jobs soon.

I agree but in the long run, it's easier to create a huge new story based around new characters than adding one to the already existing characters. That might seem like a strange concept but think of it like this...

You add a new story to the adventurers line. There are already hundreds of level 200's and thousands of people 150+. That means they will finish up a large portion of the story in no time flat, making it sort of a futile effort for enjoyability.

If you add a new story and start from scratch with new characters, people have to adapt to these changes. They don't know what's coming and they're not going to be immediately strong enough to just rush through it all. You can use all of these new formulas and changes to make it more fun or strategic. Overall, this will last much longer for the player, and that's the goal.

Unfortunately for adventurers, that is very grim. But if this is their plan, I'm sure they'll continue adding other things for adventurers. I'm not totally opposed to new classes. I worked really hard on my I/L, but new classes add diversity and if they have their own stories, then new excitement. It's a little depressing to put my I/L on a shelf, but I know that's never going to be the end for it.
