old, Old Basiler here with a few questions

Hi Basil, it's been a while. I leave my first year of college in a few hours and I got a little nostalgic.

Here's a little about me:
Made my MS account the day the Cash Shop opened (October 2005 I think - there was a Halloween event)
Joined Basil back in late 2005/early 2006.
Played MS and was somewhat active on this site until around 2008, after which my younger brother took over my Basil account (he's done now too).
I've played Maple a few times since then, but for no longer than a week at a time.
I currently play Dota.

As one would imagine, a lot on Basil and in Maple has changed since then, so here are a few questions:
1. Why does everyone have NX (especially on Basil)?
2. Why does nobody use the auctions on this site anymore?
3. Why the HECK are there so many new classes?
4. Where are Henesys Hunting Ground and Slime Tree?

Thanks, and if you have any questions about the good old days, ask away!

It's not the NX trade feature that has killed auctions. NX trades is just being able to trade the Surprise Style Box NX.
Pretty much, Basil's auction system went through a couple of changes, and nobody bothered to go back to it even after it reverted back to something similar to its original form.

1. Yes
2. It is used, but not as much (probably laziness).
3. Because Nexon likes change
4. All deleted

[quote=death00]Oh, that explains it, then.

so what is the NX trading thing I've been hearing about that has killed the auction section?[/quote]

Leveling is easier these days and people zoom by the lower levels = no need to buy stuff from auctions.

I'm asking what changed to cause more people to buy NX and stop using auctions (in my day only about 20% of people actually bought NX).

And when did they start adding so many classes?
In my entire time playing Maple, the only change was adding 4th job and pirates.

1. Idk. People just enjoy pimpim their characters. I for one, do not like NX outfits. All of my equips are standard or event based.
2. Probably cause they use the NX "trade" feature of maple. Which again, I dont like and dont use.
3. Thats life. Without new content people would lose interest. This is true for most any game, not just maple.
4. No clue. There are other training areas to choose from.
