Is Ms dead?

Is MS dead? Seriously asking. After I got my character stripped in 2011, I came back yesterday to see how everything is. Things seem.... a little quiet.

Why is Basil Auctions so dead? I mean, I see almost no items listed anymore.

Anyone got a statistic or some info on the current population of players?

[quote=bblan7787]Nexon getting better It's been 1 months since the last update and that update was a jett reorganization filler. The next patch is another filler. The last major update we got was elite monsters and shade. So it's been 2-3 months from one major update to the next 1 and nexon getting better?[/quote]

If we get the BW update next week, then we're ahead of schedule. GMS is usually six months behind of KMS, so the BW update shouldn't have appeared until the beginning of November. On top of that, we're getting the SAO update, which is a nice update for those are aren't interested in playing yet another class (I'm neutral on the SAO update). Don't forget, they're also in the process of making MapleStory in 3-D. If the NW release is two weeks after BW release, then we're getting two major patches and a crossover patch within a two week period. Usually, there are discounted Vicious' Hammer / PSoK sales around the time of character releases, so that makes BW all the more likely. I'm hoping for a Double Miracle Time if BW is released next week.

I wouldn't say its getting better. Nexon is still a crook, they never compensated us for those hermes cubes that expired early.

geez no need to be so salty.
I'm not talking about Nexon's release schedule for maple I'm talking about how they actually have customer service now and also how they have made the game less p2w.

The Basil auction system isn't really efficient. You have to click on the item to see if it's clean or godly or w/e, so it's kind of just a bother. The bidding system seems unnecessary in my opinion since you have to keep tabs on it all the time.

*I feel it'd be nice if we just had a little thread section for trading like other websites. You know, just make a thread S>Zak Helm or something and people can discuss and offer etc. Even though there are owls and all I and probably many others would appreciate and use that system a lot since you can go through a list of threads and see if there's anything that interests you instead of sifting through every single item in the market. Just sayin. The forum and thread format is just nicer to use.

p.s. this is [i]that guys[/i] roommate so im just paraphrasing for him a bit mods. I suppose this is in accordance with the rules. technically? idk w/e

Low population =/= dead game. It just means it's low population. The game is still making tons of money even with the lower population. It won't be dead for a good year or two still. Point is unless something drastic happens this game isn't going anywhere. There's enough population to keep the game getting updated. Plus atm it's Nexon's biggest game they have. They be stupid to shut it down anytime soon.

It's neither dead nor alive, as [url=http://forum2.nexon.net/showthread.php?1276102]this[/url] thread says.
You can check the population [url=http://www.craftnet.nl/MWLR/]here.[/url]

Thanks for the answer.

I mean, my friend still plays and somehow managed to convince me to come back on and play again. I started up in Nova (I don't even know why he's in Nova) and it feels SO empty.

No one needs the auction page because of Owls.

Maple is less populated than 3-4 years ago but still thousands of people online at any given time

Neither are living so they can't be dead.
