And how exactly does maple need a story to be fun? Maplestory pre-big bang never had a story in any sense of the word and I found it to be many times more fun than the maple of now that DOES have some form of half-assed piece of crap story.

I'm saying NOW Maple kind of needs its story to cling to the little it has left. With how terrible the game is right now, story is really all it has left. And if it can't even do that, what good is it? Way back when I didn't give a pomegranate about story. I skipped every word everyone said ever and just did their quests for no god damn reason. But now that it takes 2 seconds to get to level 200 I'd much rather play it for the story than for the leveling.
