QnA:
Q: Are there going to be additional features added for getting married in MapleStory?
A: We did consider adding other benefits like party boost, and even having a baby added into the game. There are many other ideas that we are currently toying around. Once we have confirmed them, you can look forward to seeing them in the game.
Q: Have you considered adding User GMs to the game?
A: The role of GMs in the game is to ‘police’ and monitor hackers and other illegal activities in the game. They also need to be strict and stand firm when dealing with them. User GM is a role that we are currently looking into, and we will certainly be looking to implement it if the need arises.
Q: Lag and disconnection is a big problem in the game, especially when there are server checks or new patch releases. Is there any way to improve on this?
A: We acknowledge and apologise for the disruptions in gameplay but do rest assured that we are doing our best in investigating and resolving the lag and disconnection problem as soon as possible. One solution that we have implemented for the release of Episode 2 was allowing players to download the patch a week in advance. Hence, we avoid the situation of too many Maplers downloading the patch at the same time and causing lag and disconnection.
Q: Why are some job classes better than the rest? Are they meant to be this way?
A: We have been asked questions about the apparent disparity of the different job class right from day one. Most of the maps are best played with participation by the different job classes working as a group. Certain job classes do better in some maps while other job classes perform better in particular maps. With each patch and update, we usually address this issue of re-balancing the job class to make the game more enjoyable for all.
Q: Are there going to be any more new worlds implemented in the game?
A: We do have plans for new worlds in both Singapore and Malaysia. We hope to encourage more players into the game by having exclusive events and forming of new community for the new world.
Q: Will we be able to migrate the characters to the new worlds?
A: To keep the balance in the new world, everyone will be starting from scratch. However, we are thinking about a character transfer system with certain policies that will allow players to keep their characters while maintaining balance in the new world.
Q: How can you ensure that new patches in the future would not magically revive fixed bugs from previous patches?
A: Simple, we can’t. Haha… As with all new patches, we migrate all the data from the Korean Maple server and pass it to Asiasoft where they will thoroughly test out all aspects of the game. However, with every new patch released, some previously fixed bugs may get revived or transferred back into the game. Unfortunately, this is something we cannot control. What we can do is to ensure that we test out each patch to the best of our ability and minimize the chances of this happening.
After two hours of fast, straight-talking action from both the Nexon trio and Maplers, the session was reluctantly brought to an end. Of course, apart from the never-ending supply of curry puffs, spring rolls and soya bean drinks to keep our Maplers happy, the Nexon team brought along exclusive Maple Story goodies for them.
Don’t worry if you were not one of the lucky few this time, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones next time Jun and team drops by again. In the meantime, continue playing MapleSEA!
Will there be a 5th job advancement?
