I was just over on lolbasil(you know for the lols) and I saw a thread saying that we are gonna get not 1. Not 2. But 3 new servers when big bang hits. All I thought was "No way maybe 1 but all the newer servers are underpopulated as it is". I know that we got those bandannas but those could just be in there for later. Is there anymore concrete proof?
KMS got 3 new servers with Big Bang, the idiots assume GMS will also get 3 new servers even though we don't even have 1/3 of the servers KMS does to begin with.
Nexon must get a lot of money every time they create a new server, othewise I can't see why they would want to open new ones.
Merge the last 3 servers, block character creation in Scania, Bera, Broa and Windia for accounts created after the 7th of this month and then open just one new server. If after 6 months this is proven to bring a bit more life to the less populated servers, then open another one, but unless they do something I find this idea of a new server plain useless.

I agree all the new servers are dead. I can't imagine how dead three new servers would be after the standered two weeks of 2x..... Wait after BB is 2x even possible without MS becomeing like a private server?

The assumption that more than 1 server will be released with Big Bang wasn't just guesswork, comparing GMS to KMS. It was based on the fact that the Tespia data shows that 5 servers (El Nido, Nova, Arcania, Aster and Zenith) have quests that begin on December 7th. That quest where you need to get to level 70 before the end of December to get that epic hat. I'm pretty sure they'll change that though (number of servers).
I could see them opening one new server for people interested in starting over because Big Bang is drastically different from the old Maple. It's completely possible to get one, although highly unlikely to get three.

eMS has 21.7x exp rates. But it kind of is private server...it's not that much different with BB really... no leech and buffs are 1.5x now.
3 servers would be doomed with like like 50 active players left after 2x event. Yellonde fm has like 4-6 people in entrance and its relatively old.
I think it would only make sense for them to add a new server, I mean the biggest event in Maplestory history really and you expect them not to? Hahaha..
But I do agree 3 servers is a bit much.. & at the people who whine about even getting one more server saying we already have enough.. really? -.- I hope they realise there will be alot more active players after Big Bang then before.. enough to fill up a new server. They under-estimate how much people are really getting brought back to Maple from BB.
Considering their two biggest cash cows (exp cards and cubes) get bought to the absolute extreme during a servers birth, i'd say yeah they probably will release new servers. Not that i think they should, but it makes terribly good business sense.

I don't know about you, but being a Yellondean, I actually enjoy the peace and quiet of a small server. I chose it for a reason, and merging 3 servers would just create another over-populated server conglomerate that some people in this game intentionally avoid.
Seems very likely they'll release a new server.

0\ Hey! Are you about to start an adventure? But you look a bit weak. When I was younger, I also used to roam the world. I miss those days.
1\ At first, it was difficult because I was so ill prepared. Seeing you reminds me of all the hardships I faced as a young adventurer.
2\ For some reason, I like you. If you can prove that you have the makings of a great adventurer, I will support you financially. Interested?
no\0\ I was only trying to help... If you change your mind, feel free to come back.
yes\0\ All right. Please gather 50 Red Snail Shells and 50 Squishy Liquids for me, then maybe I'll admit you are talented.
On Ending:
0\ Wow, this is great! You got all of them so quickly. I definitely have an eye for talent. You'll become a great adventurer. I'm sure of it.
stop\item\0\ Hmm... You haven't gotten all the items I asked you to get. Maybe I overestimated you. Hurry up and gather 50 Red Snail Shells and 50 Squishy Liquids. I know you can do it.
yes\0\ Did you get the money? It's not much but it should be useful for someone just starting out. I hope you get stronger and come back soon.

This. In a way it would be kind of expected. This shapes the entire games foundation and many people would be looking for a way to start over. Start a new world, make new friends, explore the changes together. It makes much more of an impact if you it fresh, not as a old character. Ontop of that 3 new classes. We all know the damage hoes will want to be in their main servers. But what a bout those who don't give a crap? Want to really start fresh and new. It would be a good idea especially since it's the holidays.
