What do you think will be the future of Maplestory?

Where do you believe that Maple is headed in the future?

Not in a Pikamemnon thread.

Jokes aside i think more a combination of above, i don't see maple 1 dying and why this division of Reboot to other servers, Reboot will stay, people play there and it's usually as full as Bera and twice of today's Scania, and unless flames doens't come there, it will stay that way.

Maple 1 and 2 are different enough, and reboot is still pretty damn popular. Maple 2 will sink or swim, and shouldn't affect 1 all that much after the initial release.

It's astonishing that MS1 has survived this long, despite all the private server options, constant hacking still running rampant (hackers and certain nexon employees are to blame for this nowadays) and general downward spiraling in terms of game play. MS2 will probably see a burst of life at the beginning, and then everyone who's on it for purely nostalgia related reasons will get bored and stop.

Still don't understand how people find MS1 fun. I guess most players nowadays have only been playing for a few years and have active groups of friends.
