Big Bang Is In the Air

In essence, it’s a re-launch of the entire game!

Nothing is safe from the review process. Changes to skills, EXP curves, maps, PQs, UI, and mobs

For right now, remember that the MapleStory you know now will be gone forever once Big Bang launches.

Do not want :-(

So when will the Big Bang get here? It’s coming this winter before the end of the year. I wish I could give you a date, but until we have a stable version of the update that we can use to estimate needed development time, we don’t want to make any promises. I also know some of you were expecting it even sooner, but rest assured, it’s on its way!

That's what I've been saying. The technical people are not always able to deliver the goods when the marketing people want them out the door. Rayhovite has been talking as if BB is done and Nexon can launch it whenever the market is best, but the fact is, it's not ready. I really hope missing the optimal launch window will mean they take their time and do it right, including keeping Tespia open for a good long while and actually fixing what it finds.


On another note, I'm glad to hear Big Bang includes changes to the infrastructure. I hope they really are getting rid of the fundamental design flaws, although it doesn't sound quite that deep.
