Sorry Reboot but you killed Maplestory

I just think its better to avoid making threads personal as much as possible.

(After saying this, gets nothing but personal questions)

Its alright, dont worry about it but dont get your hopes up for me to answer anything that is too far off topic.

Ok, maybe this seens to relate more to you than anybody here, you keep asking for a pre-bb or that feel you had when playing the old Maple Story, but do you think they would do any of that now after requests of ''pre-bb server/roll-back to pre-bb''?


Clearly, you don't seens much interested in MapleStory as you were, and overall your requests or sugestions aren't really well thought, if you were really serious, you would actually play the game, or just look for more information to have a better sugestion instead to keep ones that doesn't make sense most of the time.

Also you have no idea how many character they can support in the server, you say ''5k is the max'' also shows you have no idea about it, you think 5k is a lot, but they might have over 100k, defennely bigger than 5k, they can easily store more data of characters since tecnology keep growing and growing, now it's easy to get 1T of space compared to 10years, so they obviously have something to handly that.

The real lag in the server is the hackers that spam a lot of attacks in a short amount of time; the bad coding and old of the game also helps with that, making the game heavier than it could be; also the amount of non-KMS content help in that, besides that some uptates workt here, but here it's extremely laggy, like Hekaton that wasn't the best of ideas to put here, he need a uptate to be better for other regions.

Would Nexon do Pre bb? Maybe in the right circumstance but a ton of things would need to happen before then. For the rest of your post I would just say, dont sweat the small details. Its only a suggestion, not a real thing yet.

I keep wondering, everytime I see any of your threads. Would you even play the dam game if they make it pre-bb? Didnt you stopped playing this years ago?

I mean Ive enjoyed the game way more after bigbang than before. Im on that generation that barely was 18x before bigbang, where everything you had was to either level up, or team up for bosses. That was about it, when bigbang came along it was pay2win, so I kinda stopped playing that regular cause I couldnt spend money on the game. And long after bigbang I came back to a game where we had to practice Hard Magnus for months till we succeded, then Chaos Root Abyss. It was fun to be challenged, one mistake would pineapple you up. We took down the first hard magnus on the european service, with KMS mechanics (so way harder than GMS, with no tyrants from gacha till way after we killed). That was hella fun. And I funded myself with the rewards gotten from all that hard work, to the point we ( a 6people team) where making up to 10b EACH per week, with a nx rate of 1:50 and tradeable nx in shops. We got screwed by ems nx after we killed Vellum and got Fafnir weps. Cause after we killed it they added the wepons to gacha, so we had to sell them to nxhoes price and not ours. But nevertheless it was fun.

I loved the old pre-bigbang days, I made alot of friends, had alot of awesome conversations and even learned english. But thats gone, like everything else in life, things either evolve or die. Most of the Southperrians left do enjoy the current maple, we know nx could do better by far, but we still enjoy this game somehow.

Ya know, its actually logical thinking to assume people that ask for Pre bb stopped playing after Big bang. I would not fall into that category though. Besides, I wouldnt care when a person quitted the game if they have something interesting to say.

You might want to recheck your math on how many members of Southperry still play. I mean, someone could make a poll or something but this was one of the first fan forums to get generally mad at Nexons tom foolery. My threads are tame next to some of the people that used to wander around here.

Dont get the wrong idea, I'm not saying that no one should enjoy Maple if they currently do. I'm just saying that Reboot and regular servers do not mix. Thats just how I see it, I might also be completely wrong. Nexon could be so generous and unconcerned about money that there is nothing to worry about.

Reboot makes a ton of money from Premium Surprise Style Boxes.
And a tidy sum from the "subscription fee" of Pets, their skills, and water of life.
And if that's not enough, then with this current Re:Zero crossover, they've introduced pay2win cash boxes to Reboot, using the famous goat technique, and hardly anyone kept objecting to the little goat after the big one was removed. You may rest assured that GMS will not go bankrupt over Reboot.

Pikamemnon threads in a nutshell: I prefer old MapleStory and so do my friends that I know, therefore MapleStory is completely ruined.

Kindly, why not actually getting back to the game before doing another of these?
Your thoughts haunt you way too much for not having an up to date experience.

Are you insinuating that any of the multiple suggestions I made in this thread, use out of date information? If so then that would be a serious accusation and if that were the case then how about quoting whichever comment seems inaccurate? I'm willing to double check stuff when its needed.

As a matter of fact, one of the time periods in Maplestory that I prefer the best of all is the part right after Big bang. (which is not recognized as either new or old Maple but that is a matter of opinion)
When the game got PvP put in but before they tried to add Capture the flag. I'd say that time frame was the highlight of the game for many reasons and it was one of the few times that players and Nexon seemed to be on the same page. Massive revamps all around, and plenty of new things going on at once. Even if the big update was not perfect it was super ambitious. I would go so far as to say that Big bang was awesome in the very beginning.

How I see it, what started "ruining" the game (at least for GMS) was something small and it was gradual. In the process of trial and error, taking in feedback and making adjustments is a very important part of it but this was only done in half baked ways or ignored for years for the most part. Could potential or Nebulites have been revamped to better suit the audience? I don't see why not but were the GMS players asked about it? Not that I know of. That is just one example of how chances to cater to the players were missed and instead the game was made to keep plowing forward no matter what any players said.

For a while there was something called the Maple leaf council. Which was a group of players that were brought together to help facilitate communication between the community and Nexon. Apparently the entire party was steam rolled into oblivion. I forget the official reason why the group was disbanded but it seemed like a good idea.

I will admit that having GMS only copy + paste from KMS is not the worst option (since some players don't have major issues with that and I would say there is nothing "specifically" wrong with modern Maplestory) but it is also a wasted chance to customize the game to fit each player base. Although small traces of feedback being utilized do pop up, on occasion.

So anyway after Maple plows ahead in one direction for a few years, it eventually reaches a crossroads with Reboot. I think this is a choice that could have been avoided but time will tell if it turns out good or if it turns out some other way.
