MapleStory's Future

To clarify, I wasn't calling you out. I'm simply saying that this game has always had major issues, yet people continue to play and it continues to thrive. People look back and say "there was a point where there was a vac hacker in nearly every map". In another year, people will look back and say "there was a point where every event that came out was exploited". It's just how it goes. The more nexon patches these packet editing problems the more they are *hopefully* learning about how to prevent them. There's a reason that half the packet hacks from the beginning are patched/autoban. I remember infinite hp and meso packets from back when people said packet editing would get you arrested. Hacking is a sort of constant battle. For now Nexon is losing, but it usually swings back so give them some time. Regardless of what people say, ms is a cash cow and until that changes nexon is going to do anything they can to keep people playing. That means keeping players happy. They've been changing things for the better but they rarely get credit. Updates are faster, downtime is less, and every patch they seem to fix at least a few of the hacks. They aren't perfect but it could be (a little) worse.

I wouldn't doubt 'maplestory 2.0' is in development, but I doubt it's what people are thinking. Either way though it's all just opinion until nexon decides to release actual info on it. As of now there are no screens, no verifiable articles, no anything. It's just random websites claiming they've heard ms 2.0 is coming. People should stop worrying and just play the game. Enjoy it while it's here. When it ends, there will still be private servers should you need to get a maple fix. Heck, if maplestory 2 lets you transfer you might even keep your beloved characters. We don't know yet.
