Oh god no.
Anything but maple families.
Why not give us damn monster book instead?
Oh well, since we're getting it, someone mind explaining how it works, does it cost nx, and does it have any benefit?

Wow wow. This seems stupid, from Isaac's explanation.
It reminds me exactly of a Pyramid Scheme in real life.
Pretty much, one person is at the top of the pyramid benefiting most. It really sounds silly to me, but it might get people pretty high leveled pretty fast. D:

Pick some newbs and whip them until they start training! the more experience they get, the more they're online, and the more points you get! You can be greedy and use these points for advantages for yourself, while they get nothing in return! It's brilliant!
no I hate this, it's the stupidest thing ever added to the game. I'm horrified that they are testing it. >_> KRAKIA > FAMILIES! CHANT WITH ME NOW!

So, could I "familize"(Can't think of another word) my own mules and train them or just afk on them in another comp since they get points for being online to get points?
And if I familize a noob, can I expell him/her later?
I really want to exploit people! Mwahahaha.
What can you get with the points?

Jesus Christ, this game is going down the drain... People don't need help to play something like this, everything is straightforward.

Most interesting part is when we combine this with leeching - a DrK or Archmage leeching noobs could get family points insanely fast...
Looking for low level clerics for my family! Will leech at cube slimes!

This is a waste of time for them to implement when there are far more useful and important things to do (like, I don't know, Maker, Monster book, Time Temple?)

I think they updated the text in the blog since the thread starter saw it. Here's the text I don't see on this thread yet:
Quote:Hey everyone,
Well, first off, April's just about here, and we've got updates galore for you. But first, a word about hackers.
We're aware of the recent hacking activity, and will announce and pursue new initiatives to combat this. We'll be unveiling the details in due time, but we're going to put our foot on the necks of those would ruin others' gameplay, and keep it there. The BanHammer cometh soon...
So, what's new for this month's Update? Well, its called "New Features & New Creatures!", and its so big, we'll have to introduce each section in separate blogs! First up, let's talk about Family.
So I'm thinking maybe some UI updates and the next area boss set?

It would be nice if "New Creatures" entailed Time Temple, Elin, or Ulu City. But I don't expect those.

Why would they need new initiatives? People like Kiss55 and Futureo are well known and OBVIOUS hackers who have been hacking the same locations for months, and Nexon can't even figure out how to get rid of them without some new plan? Severely disappointed...
