Big Bang Trailer!

I'm already sick of it, mostly because they started announcing it -way- early just to end up saying the update won't actually be around until winter.

If I'm not mistaken they started announcing in early September, so personally I'm not even ''hyped up'' for Big Bang anymore since I know what it brings and now know how ''far off'' it is from their initial announcements. It made me -lose- interest in what Maple is currently to the point where I don't even log in anymore, and won't until Big Bang -actually- comes, but even then I won't be ''ZOMG IT'S BIG BANG! '' since they started hyping things way too early. I'll be like ''It's about time you papayas ''

For a winter release they should have just announced the stupid thing late this month, or -maybe- November, but instead they expect everyone to stay hyped up for about 3months or more with nothing but incredibly small fillers in between.

 Spoiler

My whole post probably made no sense, but I don't care, it's 6am and I'm dead tired.

See that's the thing. It doesn't make sense to hype it up for so long. Nexon knows its short attention span community. It knows lots of competition is coming up in December. It couldn't possibly mess this up THAT badly. It would be such an utter failure of the company, on so many levels, to wait till December. Consumer spending in January has taken a nosedive in recent years, so that's not a very viable month for releasing new content. February's been flat, so that's doable. Business-wise, if Nexon really does release Big Bang in December, I'd say they're a dead-in-the-water company. It won't be just WoW that will eat them alive in the market.

And you think that missing out the chance to have your huge update out BEFORE the competition is smart business sense? Or after christmas for that matter

Well put, Lozmaster. It only makes sense to beat your competition to market. Historically speaking, it has garnered more winners than losers. October still looks like the best month to begin launching Big Bang.
