I came from RTS, it was a constant fight of adrenline, maplestory was always my mental resting time. It had sort of a charm that kept players. If there were more updates like ludi and less on miracle cubes, it could have been easily the only game I'd want to play.
It's that lack of complexity that made the game good for me at least.
Precisely. I remember the whimsical feeling I had when entering Ludi for the first time with the atmosphere and music. It was a major contrast from Victoria Island and it felt good. That kind of work they did on the game really held me for quite awhile. Now the only way they extend the life of the game is release a constant stream of new classes to go through content you've already played through like a million times. The worst part of it is that they shrunk the world I once loved as soon as Big Bang hit. Lost a lot of exploration factor just so you can continuously grind again and again and again.
If there was one thing that would bring me back... more areas to explore for all level types and not just released for whatever new class comes out at the time.
