Maplestory potential

Does anyone else feel like Maplestory still has a lot of potential?

But Nexon's just too cheap to recube it to it's maximum stats.
HAHA, see what I did there?
But I'm serious though.

I really like that 'no' is outvoted by 'yes', then there's the others that voted the third option idk why I added...

But I really wish there was something the community can do to help. Anyone have any suggestions we can do? Tickets and petitions are virtually useless. How about storming Nexon forums as a giant group? Who knows.

I definitely do not feel that Maplestory is a dead game, regardless of the population numbers. It can easily be revitalized with some fixes, or promising announcements from Nexon official!

It's dead. Dead things don't have potential.

That really sucks, I wish we had more information on this. Unless there is information on this, I hope someone can link it.

But I also feel like GMS is holding out a lot of things that KMS has that would 'improve' the game, *cough mileage cough*.

Yes, that's what I meant by Maplestory having a lot of potential! Because they can change so many things that could improve the game. Yeah, it does feel like a deserted wasteland right now. I still enjoy playing the game, but everything just feels so slow and uneventful. They should create content that doesn't feel like chores.

@Anthorix: Yeah, I feel like Maplestory has a lot of room to improve on and expand. I don't know how they run things, but I feel like they can do so much more in every aspect of the game. I'm also not sure what their restrictions are either, are they not allowed to make price adjustments in CS? Because I feel like if they made things in CS cheaper, then people would feel the incentive to buy NX again; the feeling of 'getting their monies worth'. Currently, I feel like if I spent 25$ for NX, I wouldn't get that satisfied feeling that I spent on something good. This game revolves too much on gambling, and it's so imbalanced for the amount they charge.

Of course it's a free game, and we're not forced to spend $$.

Also I want the mileage system! And auction house.

@UAPaladin: They need to do a lot of things honestly. And can you expand on what you mean by end game content? Because they always release equips better, so it's hard to feel end-game except for the damage cap. I think you mean bosses right?

They need to release some new end game content. Badly.

cancer doesn't make ppl ugly^ also, nice reference. ha!

also, yah maplestory can still make bosses like all the other 2D games.

jumps, ducking, getting to safe zones, team members having to break cages, team members havin' to pull a lever so that other members can pass to another part of a dungeon; MORE bosses that have different forms (papulatus is a classic boss); some bosses that allow all characters to do the same damage so that damage doesn't matter, the super technique does; more dungeons with puzzles

maplestory GMS is just restricted by KMS and their updates...
