Will you leave Maple Story for Guild Wars 2?

I think by the weighted answers to the poll, it's pretty clear where I stand.

[quote=DDRfreak2293]Well, I quit maple long ago. But I'll definitely be playing GW2.

So, yes?[/quote]

Why is that answer so common? If you quit maple, then what are you doing on a forum dedicated exclusively to the game? And don't say you only use the chat forum.. There are MANY better forums than this dump for idle chatter >.>

Of course. It has been the next main MMO I've planned to play since I quit WoW 2 years ago.

@Cva123: It's looking like mid to late this year.. They're going into a (closed) beta this month. Games been in development forever haha.. Still, it looks like its going to be worth the wait.

[quote=Cva123]Is this game free like MS? If so ill give it a shot [/quote]

You have to buy the actual game, but if you think about it that's actually a good thing. When you buy the game you get one account. If you get banned for hacking/any other sort of jerking around youre out about 50 bucks, whereas in maple you can just make another (free) account and continue like it never happened. There are also other things, like superior gameplay and being run by a company that actually gives a damn.

Also, after you buy the game there is no subscription.

[quote=StixJP]You're comparing a 2D side scrolling game released in 2003 to a 3D game that's been in development for years and is just recently going to be released and both have different target audiences.[/quote]

It's more than just the game that's superior. The company that runs Guild Wars is infinitely better than Nexon.

If it ever comes out....

Reflecting on it, I've come to the realization that Maple isn't really something one can just "quit". I will however be going on an indefinite hiatus as soon as GW 2 comes out, as it as a far superior game in literally every (positive) possible way imaginable.

[quote=CrayonScribble]It pretty much runs on anything that isn't a wooden computer.

The development was so heavily delayed that I think it uses DirectX9, even though it'll be releasing in 2012.[/quote]
Wow DirectX 9? Wasn't that like 7 years ago or something?

OT: Left maple already, but I don't think I can get it. Would if I could I think.

[quote=Laguniroth]I cant imagine the requirements would be TOO severe.. It's a pretty game, but it looks like they're using the same engine as the first one, which is pushing 7 years old at this point,[/quote]

He's got a point.. I dont get all these "i quit maple years ago" people, who are still somehow active enough on a forum dedicated exclusively to maple to post in a random stupid thread like this one;

@HermitBoyo: Well lets put it this way. Guild Wars 1 (run by the same company and development team as Guild Wars 2 will be) Has been online since early 2005, longer than Maple even, and they STILL haven't given any gameplay advantage to cashshop users. If they were going to break the promise NOT to be "pay to win" (which they made) they would have done it in the 7ish years it's been up.

[quote=Laguniroth]Look it up.. In terms of game play, they pretty much did everything right (where maple has done, and continues to do it wrong) I can also say that from personal experience it is run by a company that actually gives a damn about its players, and answers tickets VERY fast (sometimes in only a matter of hours). The best part? Even though you have to buy the game, after that it's completely free to play.. And their version of a "Cash shop" does nothing to give advantage to players who use it. Being purely for cosmetic purposes (How nexon at one time claimed to be).[/quote]

Before, the cash shop in maple gave no advantage to players. Why can't guild wars 2 later introduce things like that?

You arent alone.. Seems like 80% of the people who "play" this game just boss and Afk. There isnt really much else to do.
