I think nexon stole some ideas from an iphone game

SO Luminous and kaiser are two new classes that came out around the same time. Well I played this game for the first time on iphone after passing it up multiple times.

There's this game called Arel Wars 2. (Arel Wars 1 was cool and I completed it)

Just like in part 1 you can choose 1 of the 3 main characters. The Main MAIN character is Adonis, he is a race called Deven. There are some characteristics of Adonis in some maplestory characters. Please do know Arel Wars 2 was made sometime in May of 2012.

Like Luminous Adonis has red and blue eyes.
http://www.apkdad.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/AREL-WARS-2-Icon.png (as shown in the App Icon.)

He is also a MAGE Like luminous. When Adonis got mad during the story his Red Eye would flash unlocking his Rage Abilities.

Now Adonis is also like Kaiser.

Adonis is a Deven (deven's are a freaking looking tribe.) So Adonis has horns and Dragon Wings (like kaiser). It's like he is half dragon but, HE'S NOT!

As you can see on the picture Adonis is the hero on the right>> (notice his wings and horns with his Blue and red eyes again)

Adonis also uses a Huge Blade like kaiser in 1 hand, and floats just like him to. His stance is identical to Kaiser's tranformation stance.

It looks just like this! One knee slightly bent up with the other leg straight down, His heavy sword in 1 hand and wings flapping.

I don't know if Nexon knew about arel wars 2 but, if you have a iphone or Android I would advise you to download this game and look at how similar Adonis is to Kaiser and Luminous.

I like Arel Wars and Maple but both are just games with generic themes imo. Mulitcolored eyes are always cool, and what's a game with no dragons?
I thought Arel Wars was more like Tower Defense with an RPG twist but that's just me.

Oh yes.
Because a half human-half demon and a guy who's conflicted with the good and evil are totally ORIGINAL concepts.

Please.

Ok then, Kaiser is a ripoff of Slayerdramon from Digimon and Dragoons for Final Fantasy.

Middle one.

Edit: Downloaded the game.
And angelic buster and Demon Avenger too, right?
The girl has pink hair and her tribe is buster. "Close range attacking hero"
And for the demon avenger, the Deen guy has HP.

OP might have a point. I'm not gonna do some research into this, but do keep in mind that knuckle-pirates are a stolen concept, along with their energy attacks.

That iphone game stole ideas from everywhere too, all those characters reminds me of several anime series, also, if you can't take a "negative" comment, don't even bother on connecting to the internet.

[quote=SoCalKing]Oh because I'm sure planning for an iphone game takes way more longer than it does for a massive multiplayer game.
Nexon plans ahead, they need to know how it will affect gameplay, what skills to add, the name of the character/styles, attacking styles, the storyline of the character, adjusting the character to fit quests throughout the game, the new files to work along with the updates, It all takes several planning.
What you're implying here is that nexon just creates the class 1 week before it is released, maybe you should get your facts straight.
An iPhone game is, in no way more difficult to code than a massive game like maplestory.

The Tempest update was first given to KMS during summer, that is to say, between June and August 2012.

If Nexon stole character design ideas from a game that was released in May 2012, that would mean that the developers would have, at most, two months, to design, color, code, test, and fix Luminous and Kaiser before they are to be released for the general public.

Dude, Maple came out way before the iPhone was even invented. Not to mention so many games have classes that are nearly exact replicas from other games.

Also, I don't believe there's any copyright on ideas like that. How could you anyway...
