Random Idea from an Idea? Opinions Needed

Well I remember a few days ago seeing a thread on the official maple forum on the official site about more high leveled content, and it got me thinking about some stuff, not just high leveled content, but more about these "abandoned" places in GMS. Places such as Zipangu (Showa and the "Pine Forest" included), Korean Folk Town (to an extent), Singapore (Theme Park, Kampung Village, Ulu Ulu City, etc.), and various places such as those.

I wanted to ask the community this: should these places get "revamped" or at least tweak the spawns, exp rates, and drops of the monsters? For example: The Fantasy Theme park, one can argue it is used for Scar/Targa runs, but what else? Nothing; hardly anyone trains on the monsters there and just stay there for the bosses and the prequests, but that is about it! Can GMS change different things such as spawn, exp rates, and item drops to make this area more appealing without making MapleSEA devs and players upset and mad?

Another area is the forgotten Ulu Ulu City. Who in the world does Krexel runs anymore? Who has even tried training there in the past few months? Maybe the random hipster person who is "too cool to train at popular maps", but that is all! Why even bother? There is NO incentive to go there and train...the monsters are annoying, the maps are for the most part, strange (some are decent, others are just weird), the exp rates are crap, and the monster drops are non-existent or just plain out unworthy of the effort. Same question as before, can GMS change this area a small bit and make it more appealing rather than a simple waste of data and space at the moment, once again, without upsetting other versions (mainly MapleSEA)?

Last area I will focus on is Showa...yes the over hyped, super delayed, and somewhat disappointing area that was a beacon of light and hope for maplers before it was released. I'll be honest, I was so eager for Showa to come out! An exchange quest with some rare item prizes, pretty flat maps for the most part, an NPC that sold some previously "rare" items, the Cider potion, and monsters that had some pretty darn cool drops, but it wasn't all that was expected to say the least! Sure, people still do Anego and I think The Boss runs, but nothing else! I won't ask the question again because I think you're getting the pattern!

Should GMS change these areas a little bit to make them more appealing and contend with some of the more popular maps in GMS? Can they do it without making MapleSEA mad? Does SEA or other versions hold exclusive rights to these areas? Discuss it here, also if you have suggestions (logical ones, not just completely biased ones for your job and level range) for other areas, please discuss them here.

Also for the people who do not want to read all of this (I do not blame you lol!) here is a nutshell version: Can GMS change some of the more deserted areas in the game to contend with the more popular areas (MP3, Aliens, Jesters/Scarecrows, etc.) and actually make them worth grinding at? And if so, can they change them without running into issues from other versions of Maple from other countries?
