Where did Pre Big Bang go wrong?

The tittle doesn't make sense to me. I suppose you mean "When did maplestory go wrong?" not pre big bang.

For me things started going wrong when potential was added and all the focus of the game was redirected towards it.

As for a Pre BigBang / current maplestory argument goes, I have to say that even though I enjoyed my time playing prior to 4th job the most, had the game stayed like that I would, most likely, have quitted many years ago. Like others have said games have to grow and evolve in order to stay relevant and maplestory is no exception.

Same. I thought I had some reading comprehension problem but apparently this whole thread is just very confusing. I don't even understand what it is about. The title makes no sense, and I don't really understand the contents either.

Pre-BB was good with the standards of ten years ago. If Maple is still like that now, I would have quit long ago. I do like a few things of Pre-BB, but I prefer the game as it is right now.

In my opinion, nothing went wrong. Some of the decisions were awkward, but the whole game as it is right now is way better than pre-BB.

Seriously though. I think I do have reading comprehension problem. What exactly do you mean by "give up on PreBB"? Like, stop thinking about it or what? How do you give up a thing that no longer exists?

"Where did Pre Big bang go wrong?" As in when do you think was the right time to stop asking Nexon about it or anything that the ones who first began the request for PreBB could have done differently?
