Pre-BB Maple likely wouldn't survive as is.
However, in terms of changes made between only pre-BB and BB itself (meaning not counting things that Chaos and onwards added such as professions, because those would likely happen anyway)... If we stayed in pre-BB and only had the EXP rates adjusted to Big Bang standards (without any of the adjustments promoting over-reliance on the potential system), I'd imagine the game would probably be more successful overall right now.
