After this, any Maple Version proves to be able to change things, and make it's own areas without being country-themed.
JMS has done things unrelated to Jipang a few years ago, the Mushroom Training Camp, MTS, 1.25x EXP. But this, this is much bigger than anyone has ever expected. JMS is not 100% following KMS orders and is making it's own decisions now.
They did change Kerning Square completely, that still leaves a spot for Taipei 101 to be implemented. Making Kerning Square their own area with a different storyline. Looks like they don't want to remove World tour and put the substitutes from KMS.
At least, i hope this means something. That soon, regional versions will be able to make it's own areas connected to Maple World, and not being obligated to show their culture in such areas.
GMS has already stepped on such way, making that tutorial. Sincerely, i'm hoping for MS versions to make their own decisions now, instead of always doing what KMS orders.
I don't get what you're saying. If something, the other branches of Nexon that run MS in other countries are the ones making Culture themed content. The only culture-themed content that KMS has ever developed is Mu Lung and i'm not even sure if that one counts. As for the "hope" for other MS branches to stop following KMS steps and mold their content, I don't agree with it. KMS always developes content while being carefully of not generating unbalance, while look at GMS and all their money draining strategies. They kept dark scrolls from dropping from monsters and turned them into Gachapon only, Vega scrolls, vicious hammers (KMS had these to drop from monsters), they made Evan a pay to play class and we don't know yet about dual blader, Gachapon boxes, CS surprises, and so on. MsSEA isn't too different from GMS. JMS always makes great storylines but as far as I know, players of KMS here complain about them Nerfing any good content that they get from KMS.
Instead of each branch working separatedly from each other.They all should get closer and work together for the sake of this game.
