Despite WoW's popularity, Maplestory doesn't have the same concerns about
being a competitor as opposed to the other pay-to-play mmorpgs.
Same reason why Lord of the Rings Online decided to relaunch free-to-play.
The only problem I see with the winter release was Nexon advertising Big Bang in September
promising the content to come "very soon".
If you figure that Nexon is comparing Big Bang to the patches of Maplestory that was translated
from other versions (KMS), then the update is coming alot sooner than expected.
However, it still kills the hype. I merchanted to prepare for Big Bang's in October but now that
its not happening, I'm taking a break until its release.
