I understand that Maple Story is popular in Korea and Japan however to my understanding is that Maple Story in America is Dead and has been for a long time. I understand it has some player base but however as an active and social community I feel it is lacking very much. I've tried coming back several times when I had free time and while I do see people for example in Henesys but a majority of it's players are either AFK or stick to the cliches they're use to.
I feel that all of the social people have long left the game and most of the awkward people are the ones who still regularly play. (Not trying to be rude) However Nexon America continues to push out updates because of the few supporters it has buying billions in NX which.. it's their money I have no right even if I disagree.. but I wonder how much longer Nexon can continue to milk Maple Story.. especially once Maple Story 2 is officially released.
I guess i have mixed feelings because I have feelings that make me still care for a game I grew up with and I know I should move on but.. some reason I always come back for a few days but only to be disappointed... perhaps Maple is to big it has to many maps no one uses, to many servers and a lack of social activities that are worth peoples time.
I wish nexon would listen to it's loving audience but I know that America is in the small minority because it seems to be working in Korea and Japan. In a strange way I feel like Nexon America is trying to kill off Maple Story to make way for Maple Story 2 if it does well enough. I mean they have been known to simply just throw away games that don't do well like a bag of trash.
but that's just my thoughts about it, how about you?
