Upcoming Interview with the Maple Team

[Alloy]

Mine is pretty simple. Monster book sets. Are they going to make new cards, with new sets, or they abandoned the idea completely? Because it feels a bit disheartening to have such a cool feature completely unfinished with only half of the current monsters in it...

What are your thoughts on adding the option of cell phone account verification when logging in for added security? There's already pay-by-phone NX purchase verification so why not account authorization in the same manner? Thank you.

Respectful inquiry: Why does the Nexon team insist on not posting in a reputable site like southperry.net

Because we're considered a forum full of dissidents, haters, and TOS abusers.
They've already done live Q&A sessions on the sites they consider "reputable".

They consented to answer questions from Maple News, not us. Maple News is graciously asking us for input into those questions because I helped make the interview possible. Don't mistake this for anything but what it is. Odds are if Savage pushes a Southperry agenda he'll get Maple News just as blacklisted as we currently are.

A notion not that far away from the truth either.

bullshit, your real fans are the ones who will stand up and tell you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it, not the ones that'll kiss your ass while you fly the plane into the nearest mountain and fuck everyone over.

I just agreed to what our forum contains, not that our advice would be bad.

Oh so that's the whole story. I guess we really are in a position of privilege then. But hey, hopefully at least a few of these great questions get answered thoroughly, so I'm not being completely negative . Props to Maple News, you are our link to immortality.

I've never considered myself or those on this site any of those things, quite the opposite actually...

[RandomZodiac]

Why don't you have people monitor forums like basil market? There are obvious hackers that post there and dont hide it.

Will the option of game monitoring from people who understand the game, example being, to recognize equips that are impossible to make outside of cheating ,ever be considered? I feel like that would solve majority of your problems and bring faith back into the community.

Is there any chance that cash shop items such as miracle cubes will be re-evaluated? Being a cash shop only item that gives unacceptable margin of difference between players who pay and players who don't? Especially with the removal of MTS, how can players who can't pay able to compete with bosses who were designed around it?

[The Great One]

Have you ever considered diversifying the maps in terms of exp ratios and drops? Currently there are maybe ten maps used in all of GMS for training purposes because these monsters give out the best exp ratios which is why kill stealing is so rampant.

Due to new classes and classes with higher mobility and higher damaging skills have you ever consider making monsters tailored made to be trained on by a specific class branch ? For example for warriors the monsters can be high damaging medium to large mob counts and do a fair amount of physical damage. While for ranged classes and classes with large amounts of mobility could have faster moving higher accuracy and avoid do enough damage to keep the player alert and not falling asleep at the computer.

Have you ever considered recoding the game in Java to allow it to be easily played on platforms outside of windows (such as mac/Linux/maybe mobile/etc), and also in turn making the game more server-sided to alleviate hacking?

thank you,

[Foxino]

I might be able to think up a few.

Will Guild PQ (or any other guild/alliance only content) Ever return?

Will Visitor PQ ever return?

Will a full cash shop trading room ever be opened?

In addition to voting your pineapples here don't forget to vote on the ones in the comments on Maple News, they have an up/down -

@Savage; How are you going to pick posts among those with the most pineapples that have more than 1 question? How are you supposed to determine what questions +1ers are +1ing among the lists of them?

Obviously nexon isn't going to answer every single question implying that you will only be able to ask them a specific number or within a certain time frame. I doubt any of us want to waste their time or ours when better questions can be asked.

Do you plan on doing more events to cater for players outside the North-American region(namely European and Australian players).

[Imagine]

Are there any plans for end-game content (by end-game, I mean for people nearing lv 200)? If so, will be content that interacts with and challenges the user, or will it be better training maps?

You/others may have missed this (3rd paragraph): http://www.southperry.net/showthread...l=1#post982087 but I agree, the people with multiple questions in their posts might have to revise them quite a bit and/or separate into multiple posts. I really hope @Savage uses his best judgement in selecting the best questions and does not choose questions with answers that everyone knows already (i.e. the pirate/thief revamp will definitely happen, nope, maplers can't grow beards , etc.). I hope a great portion of the questions will focus on how Nexon will address problems with the game, more so than "are you planning this or that for future content?".
