Would you play if this game were pay to play?
Lets say you have to pay a monthly fee to play this game like other P2P RPG's. Another basiler and I got in an argument and they said the game wouldn't go under if you had to pay. @eatnow Lets watch, shall we?

Wow this thread made me want to quit maple even more
Would I pay a monthly fee for this game? Definitely a great big "NO."
Strongly depends. If I were new to maple, no.
If they were to NOW make us a monthly fee and it won't go beyond 10 Euros/Month and NX Cash would be either free or SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper ...then yes.
[quote=SolKool]Conditions for me to pay for MS.
1. RED and Black cubes become common drops from monsters, so much that they clog your inventory and you regulary have to drop them/use them on crappy equips
2. NPCs sell Super Mega Hyper Enlightement Omega Cube for 1M mesos
3. NPCs sell 100% +10ATT +10STATS scrolls for 500k Mesos
4. No Boom AEEs are sold at 2M by Cody
5. You can have a top of 50 mule accounts with one subscription
6. The subscrition is USD $20/month or $150/year
7. 2x EXP Coupons are 100k each
8. All Weekend/every weekend there is a 12 hour / 3x EXP event 4x Drop
9. HHG comes back to the left exit of Henesys
10. No class is ever nerfed, ever! if a class is released and it is too OP, all the other classes get a revamp and get as OP as the new class[/quote]AKA PS. Btw number 5 is really dumb imo
What a stupid thread. Have you even considered adding in the benefits of paying a subscription like better customer service?
Does it stroke your ego when people give you answers you want to see? lol.
Who in their right minds would pay for maplestory on top of the massive P2W issue in its current state every month? Are you kidding me?
Maybe if you weren't such a tryhard you would have noticed these flaws. Fix your thread and then we'll see who wins.
I'd quit, screw paying for Maple. I can play other games instead

This exists. It's called a [b]P[/b]izza [b]S[/b]lice.
All I do now is do my daily Gollux run & level-up my traits...I sure as hell ain't paying a monthly fee to do just that.
Nexon is already taking peoples money through their cubing system, hammering, scissoring & other crap that could have been implemented for free.

well not maplestory(since I barely have any interest left),but I really don't mind if Maplestory 2 goes pay to play,it would fix alot of problem maplestory have currently.
Soo at this rate, assuming that this could somehow be on the lines of the whole population, 13% would pay everyone else would quit. Current pop is almost 25k accounts atm so lets assume that the GMS has like 4 prime time zones then take one off for mules 75k people might be playing maple? 13% of 75k = 9.75k people with $5-$15 monthly payments = $48.75k-$146.25k per month... I don't think maple would live at this rate. $585k-$1,755k per year.
no. people who spend hundreds on MS probably won't mind paying a subscription fee, but i am not one of those people.
i'm already losing interest in MS anyway. if they make me pay to play, that's just going to be the nail on the coffin
Though I'd pay less than I do currently (by a lot), I still wouldn't do it.
^This, if everything in CS (especially hyper tele rocks, perm 2nd pendant slot, pets/pet equips, royals, and cubes for me) was obtainable by mesos, I wouldn't mind paying like 5$ a month.
Nexon should charge monthly, but the whole cash shop should be meso obtainable. that would be good.
each year, theres less peoples that plays p2p games.
and now most p2p game are getting f2p.
take for example TF2, dungeon and dragon online, RIFT, even WoW is partialy f2p (up to lvl 20)
nx has no reason to make the game p2p since they will get less money out of it.
but to answer your question, yes i will still play maple if it was p2p
This is one of the main reasons why i play maple cus its free
[quote=amin45678]If the money went to improving the game drastically, then maybe. Also the price matters. What is it, OP?[/quote]
Uh WoW is 15$ per month so I'm guessing Nexon would be somewhere along the lines of that or maybe a little bit cheaper? I'm not sure, it would ultimately be up to Nexon and we all know how greedy they can be.
If it wasn't so revolved around damage and all that non-sense, then $10 a month is a small fee to pay for a better gameplay. I hardly play now because of the reason

I barely have any interest left in this game, now why the hell would I pay to play it?
been there done that won't do it again
That depends. If they made cubes a more common drop (or made them easier to access) then yes. Because to some extent everyone buys NX, be it through mesos, or through money.
