Last Call: Let’s Save MapleStory
Or not.
That’s ultimately not up to us, the customers. All we can do is make our voices heard and hope that a positive change is made. We do not elect the board members for Nexon Corp., nor do we vote on the changes made to this game, MapleStory.
There have been a lot of great discussions going on throughout the MapleStory community, especially on sites like Southperry and Basil Market, the two remaining major MapleStory forum communities, over the past few days and weeks. If you don’t already know, a new community manager has been named. He goes by the name Aurtax and so far we aren’t sure what to make of this change in leadership.
Over the years we have voiced our disapproval of specific changes and systems put into place through our editorial pieces. Anyone who is an avid reader of Maple-News.com has probably read one of the many articles by ICY. Many of you have voiced your opinions in the comments, mostly your dissatisfaction with the pay-to-win system that has gradually taken hold of a so-called free-to-play MMORPG. Many of you have voiced your opinions on other fan sites and forums. I’ve read hundreds of your comments all over MapleStory fan sites and communities. It is clear that a change must be made.
I want to use this particular medium, Maple-News.com, to begin to write a proposal of sorts, a formal petition if you will, to send to Nexon America. This proposal will be highly detailed and compiled of your suggestions, requests, comments, and so on that you believe outline necessary changes that should be made to MapleStory. These suggested changes must be narrowed down and then be voted on by as many people in the community as is humanly possible to ensure its accuracy and authenticity. This condensed list of changes will serve as the basis of our proposal which will then be hand delivered to Nexon America in addition to e-mailed and public forms of the proposal available online. If possible, we will also include as many comments and suggestions from players.
I am publicly asking all the administrators, community leaders, bloggers, and anyone who genuinely cares about MapleStory to be part of creating this proposal: Southperry, BasilMarket, Hidden-Street, and so on. You can reach me, day or night, at
maplenewsnetwork@gmail.com. Many will see this idea as overambitious, ridiculous, or even insane, but perhaps if we submit a unified proposal from the MapleStory community Nexon will have to listen. At least we can say we gave it our best shot.
To start, below please fill out the following form in the comments. Check back for information on collaborations with other MapleStory web communities.
Your friend,
Savage
