Except that quest data is actually in game. the name might have been changed but Kyrin's father does exsist in KMS too.

Zomg these comments and resourceful replies
Nexon better linked up everything properly when they are going to end MapleSTORY
There're too much blanks to be filled in...

Or they could continue Maple with a fresh new arc; Naricain's ripe for more expansion, if they ever do decide to resuscitate his plot.
There's also the Goetia; cover more about Beelzebub and his links to Astaroth.
One rule about an MMO is that it doesn't end; the only way it ends is when either
A)Game runs out of plot material
B)Players all quit
C)Company stops making extra content
Besides, even if we get a MapleStory 2, chances are we'll be starting off fresh anyways (what, you really thought your 2xx Night Lord with his Furies was going to get carried over to the next segment?); and what plot would there be to cover in Maple 2? Reviving the Black Mage plotline just makes this into a console game, which I don't want to see unless Aran, Evan, Mercedes, Boralis, and Krytus are the main cast, with Valfar being an optional character.
Furthermore, Maple needs a serious anime rework - the last edition was done on the basis that Maple had a crappy story. This time, we cover the Black Mage arc - and then we dub that crap. Or at least make a comic book of it - that way it gets out of the gaze of the weeaboos.

Wow, is that even possible? Simply point one continent named Masteria and you'll know how potential or plentiful are those plots in it
B)Players all quit
nah, impossible,unless Nexon made a requirement of NX to continue playing
C)Company stops making extra content
Will they if MapleStory kept bringing in them endless profits?
But then, Nexon has too much forked up storylines from one and another
they'll eventually forget to fill in the blanks then
"HOLY SHYT ! FAREWELL MAPLESTORY ! HELLO MAPLESTORY 2 !"

You read my mind. I even had the chance to see Krakia's deeper layers today - and boy was it awe-inspiring!

Given how Mabinogi's about to suffer the kRO hacker attack towards its own database, Nexon just might need to to keep assholes like those dupers out.

There's numerous amounts of resources for them to use, storywise. It wouldn't be that hard to create new areas - hell, make a user-created area event. Just keep the Narutards and Bleachfegs out of it.

I said this specifically to those who keep blabbering about the Black Mage being the "End of MapleStory".

I want to be female
But yah like it's been said. Trailers present Aran as a female, so do some npc  and that anniversary event, but meanwhile some other npcs and cutscenes imply that Aran's a he.

The official and true gender of Aran in game remained as a confusing secret like Crona 1

Anything that happens outside the game or during events means nothing, in no way during actual in game events has Aran been shown as female so canonically Aran is a male.

Actually, in the meeting hall (The place where all the classes and instructors get together) Aran appears as female. However, in the past leafre area there is a quest where you have to do something for Maha and during that quest Aran is male.
God damnit Nexon!

actually I wonder the canon of that image. lilin and neinheart are strongly suggested to have no actual communication with each other since he left, and no one on Rien seems to know anything about Ereve. Also, while I do believe the alliance thing, I find it hard to believe that all of the resistance went to Ereve despite their hate of the knights.

...actually, I can see that. The Cygnus Knights didn't do anything when the Black Wings invaded.

@Raul - Sorry about the confusion. I merely meant I got to see the area past the initial Electrophant spawn (just prior to the Gryphon area) when I was doing the ReVersal and Subani's Legacy Part 2 quests.
And yeah, the Knights went as far as to even reject Mushroom Kingdom's plea for help (apparently). Sounds like Cygnus is a conceited bish.

Oh, lol.
Yeah, the Cygnus Knights are very picky about what they choose to help. I don't think she's conceited, I think that she (or her advisers or knights) have pet projects, and only do things that are beneficial to them.

Actually I think the knights are picky because of what happened at LHC.

What, when the black Mage had Queen Isa killed and a part of a CK's uniform left behind, creating a deadly enemy?
Though it kinda makes me wonder why/how all the other generals joined.

About the whole Aran gender thing, me and my friend made a joke about that and said Aran had a sex change.
Or Nexon is gender confused.

Maybe after 500 years or w.e Aran's hair grew up so long that he looks female?

I bet Aran was a pimp back at their age and slept with the Black Mage's daughter (Orca maybe?) so the black Mage punished him for his insolence
