What do you think 2009 has instore for ms

I'm clueless.
...But that doesn't mean I won't try!

February: CWK 2
March: Leafre and Magatia Mini-dungeons (Nuthin else I had in mind. O_O)
April: Ulu City, Shanghai, Ximiding, Kaede Castle, or any other unnamed world tour area
May: Maple Anniversary (Cody's Theme Park, anybody?)
June: Ellin Forest (I hope!)
July: Time Temple (Lol, we could get it right now with our power for all we care. )
August: NLC Expansion (Badlands, Yetinx, Krakia)
September: Mu Lung Dojo or Bosshunter's Challenge (ABOUT PINEAPPLING TIME, TOO!)
October: Halloween... That's it.
November: Thanksgiving... Same as above.
December: Ereb, Knights of Cygnus (PLEASE CPQ2, PLEASE CPQ2!)
2010 Ideas: Other World Tour places (if at all), New Korean Areas (TBD), Goldrich, Fairy Tale events, and other "unknowns"...

This list took some time to think over. Give a little credit if you can!!

Good luck with that Time Temple that you guys are thinking you're getting this year. We've been waiting for it for almost a year in JMS and it hasn't been released yet. CMS JUST NOW got it a month ago... Cygnus, I doubt you'll get either, since it was released in DECEMBER in KMS and won't hit any other versions for a while. There's a SLIGHT chance that we'll (GMS and JMS) get the new skill updates as a mandatory patch asap by Nexon, but I doubt GMS will get it within the year. Mu Lung PQ, you can count that out, too. It requires too many mobs that GMS doesn't have yet.

My predictions for those :

Time Temple : Next January-ish
Cygnus : Next Spring
Skill Updates : Maybe LATE this year, early next year.

Edit : OH! Neo Tokyo and Kaede Castle... You can forget those for a long time, too. TMS is getting Kaede Castle this week or so, so that won't be out for a LONG time.

Maker, Mu Lung Dojo and the rest of the Area Bosses is all I would need to be one happy camper for the year. CWK2 is going to be awesome. Everything else we get is bonus!

Glitches are to be expected, yes. I mean, er...customizations. Yes, like our GMS-exclusive Capt. Latanica, where the map can only be entered one time per channel after each SC and Patch. And let's not forget our GMS-exclusive monsters that are missing hit boxes. Those customizations add challenge!

I think the reason that time temple hasn't been added yet for jMS is because Neo Tokyo is already decent high-level content (unless it isn't, but the company that runs jMS probably thinks it is).

Keep dreaming. Cygnus? Kaede Castle? MLD? Bosshunter event? CPQ2? GOLDRICH? Come back next year with these ideas.

Neo Tokyo is a terrible area IMO. All the monsters suck, and is heavily party based.

If anyone remembers that Basil Screenie:



They've sticked to this pretty well actually. XP

LOL I remember when people thought that could never happen...

Fixed.

And lol at that. I do vaguely remember it posted on some bygone day, but I don't remember when exactly. Though in retrospect it is quite hilarious to see how many of those predictions came true LOL.

Oh, I forgot to mention... When Neo Tokyo is released, say good bye to Hime training. Himes will be given the ability to stun, seal and weaken with that patch.

I am not sure Nexon even knows what they're going to give us this year, other than the usual holiday events.

Masteria expansions are new content that needs developing. That takes time. I don't see another one (after CWK II in Feb) coming until very late this year.

The other stuff "just" needs translating and integrating. It's much easier work. We could, technically, have everything any other version has, by July. So it's just a matter of what they decide to let us have when. I expect some of the "smaller" things - Monster Book, Maker, mini-dungeons, various events, maybe CPQ2 - will be added to flesh out patches that would otherwise be just holiday events. Bigger changes, like new areas, will be a patch on their own.

We can also expect a new server this year (maybe even two?), with an attendant buggy patch that makes its rankings skewed right off the bat. Possibly Elin, since new servers experience crowding of low-level training maps, until the more addic- er, dedicated players pull ahead of the crowd.

What I really wish to see but am not holding my breath for: bug fixes, better anti-hacking measures, new party exp formula, more GM presence...

We won't necessarily get that change, we had a sort of mix between KMS and JMS Zipangu before.

Yes, because Nexon America couldn't POSSIBLY have laid down the foundation for other areas too.

Knowing Nexon, which I don't, they would want to end the year with a big bang!

that would take a 72 hour patch. they're ariant one was 24, and that was a tiny fraction of that. forget 72 hours its gonna be a full week if they do that!

Nothing but events all year and then every possible addition in the last month? well I'm sure that would please the 5 people who are still playing by December.

Oh yeah, that would probably be a week long patch, if not more.
