Maple getting a larger spotlight.

Sigh... seems like on three years ago where nobody had any idea what MS was. I wanted it to stay that way.

Agreed.
Oh god the beatings I got from my brother when he saw the old commercials come on TV because I played "a game for faggots". =\

I saw an ad for maple on adultswim last night.

Sonny and Daddy go to see Harry Pothead and the Chamber Pot. They see Maple on the ads! Instantly, when they come home Sonny steals Daddy's credit card and charges $330,000 in NX cash, causing him to become #1 in Broa but Daddy loses the house and now they both live in a garbage dump.

Yup, business as usual for Maple!

LOL

In a more serious and less exaggerated note...330k NX isn't that much to put someone out of a home...but if you're talking about $330k, then...err...major credit cards don't allow you to charge up that much anyway! xD

I'm going to be a ninja! Just like Naruto!

I'm going to be an archer! Just like.. uh.. Peter pan?



Anyway. How is maplestory up in the ranks of halo?
No one at my school talks of maplestory. Yet, everyone talks of halo.

well my point was that there were already tons of Harry Potter, Naruto, Legolas wanabee in the game for years, so it is not like we are going to see that much of a difference anyway

Wait, where do warriors fit into pop culture?

I'm going to be a Warrior! Just like Xena!

But everyone who has watched Xena the Warrior Princess is automatically awesome.

Plus I think Xena is a little old for all the kiddies. lol

Who needs to be a wannabe of anything specific to want to be a warrior? They bash people's skulls in. That connects to the kids on a deeper level.

Eh, most of my friends have heard of MS, but then again, they are the sort who play and search out more obscure games. At least they don't judge too hard by the graphics. I hope. o.o

People that judge games by graphics rather than art style are fucking retarded.

Advertising it with the Harry Potter film...?
inb4 sudden influx of new players, followed by inflation of mage equips

Although, who knows? This might not be a completely bad thing. If the advertisers do their jobs right, then maybe I can tell my WoW-playing friends that I play Maple without getting laughed out of the room. 8D

People that judge games by graphics rather than art style are pineappleing retarded.

Agreed.

however, like Avoidant said, maybe now i can tell my friends I play maple without getting laughed at. I'm proud to play but not proud that I'll run around saying it

Pro: Not as embarrassing to play, since it might become a "mainstream game".

Cons: More little kids playing. And Maple kind of loses its "no one's heard of it" feel.

Ditto =.= Beta was awesome.
I liked Perion FM lol.

Whatever happened to that old school fm, the one with the doors that was always empty?? Ive almost completely forgotten what it looked like, and that makes me kinda sad ._.
Anyone mind postin an ss of it?

Can't forget the possibility of having ads like this.

That's a con, by the way.

Please Nexon, if your going to publicly air a commercial, let it be this one.

I'm gunna be a warrior and use swords! Just like shinigamis in Bleach!

I'm gunna be a pirate! Just like Luffy!

I can't think of ones for archers. They're too unique.

how come you cant think in more archers? legolas (LOTR), ISHIDA (bleach) they are everywhere.

i want be a warrior like bleach and wear a stonetooth sword =o

do i need talk about pirates and sparows variations out there?
----

but serious now, the game getting popular (more), is in the end a good thing to players and of course to Nexon, more money = fast updates , better servers and all that stuff we enjoy everyday. i cant see it as a bad thing, idk maybe some ppl just want to be too much "exclusive" or feel "special". anyways we need ppl to fill those new servers aka yellonde/dementhos =p

People that judge games by graphics rather than art style are pineappleing retarded.

For the most part, MS is good on both though. It's definitely better than any other 2d (or semi-2d) MMOs I've seen. And the controls, for the most part, have a good feel to them.

I'm gonna be an archer! Just like Legolas!
