GMS v107 - I'm not saying it's aliens...

Doesn't the inability to enter Bigger Ben pretty much confirm a second update to Masteria? I can't imagine they'd scrap that area entirely.
Also: Have we even seen the thing that was in the center of the four separate images put together? I don't recall seeing that at all.

I don't see why they couldn't just erase the Meso Gears maps. They've taken all monsters that used to be inside and put them in those poorly thought maps before the alien base.

Maplestory is becoming far too straightforward and easy, nexon is trying to cater to younger and more impatient players these days over what things were like pre big bang.

Yeah, they won't even bother doing maps that aren't simply like this:


I mean look at the new maps they've made for NLC and compare that to Leafre's maps, Ludibrium, El Nath or even Ellinia/Victoria Island.

Also, I miss when finding maps was a challenge. Finding a Hidden-Street meant you had found a possibly better map to train. I remember the intricate ways maps had to be navigated to improve exp gain (think of Ludi maps, skelegons with Poison Mist, etc.).
