Will reboot world kill maplestory? With the population of this game crashing thanks to the popularity of other F2P games that are not pay2win, it's no surprise that Nexon is taking drastic measures to save this game. Several years back, Nexon would have never released a non-pay2win version of this game. Times are rough for Nexon.

He was in 15 different channels on 5 adjacent maps, so there was an elite boss spawning every 2-5 minutes. At the time, we didn't realize that leeching off botters is against Nexon's TOS, so we were making around 10b mesos a day. Right now, I have a 1.5m range thanks to the mesos I got from leeching off the botter. My friend has a 2m range already since he was more dedicated than I am. The thing is, I feel guilty about what I did and I was considering
