The EXP Curve

then dont play and dont get to 200? just log on and talk or fm.

Why is it that you think this should be the only option? YOU DON'T LIKE THE OLD EXPERIENCE CURVE AND WE DO? THAT'S FINE, DON'T HIT 200.

Sorry, but some of us play games for fun and DO want to complete them at some point (which it is generally agreed upon that 200 is the end of maple, regardless of whether you start another character afterward or keep playing) while not being forced to spend most of our free time getting there for the next several years just because a small group of people want things to stay the same forever.

*opposes every new area and item that might make the game easier than it was 3 years ago*

so are you saying you would go out and buy a game that could be beatin in 10hrs time rather than 40hrs time?

yayy lemme buy dis game and beat it quicker so i can quit it faster and let it get covered in dust on shelf

40 hours =/= 4 years or 40,000 hours.

edit: sorry double post I figured someone else would've posted already.

edit again: Anyway the point is, Maple Story shouldn't be a lifelong investment of all our time. It should be something even casual gamers can pick up on occasion over the span of however long it's running with the expectation that they're not going to be pitifully weak in 3 years time just because they didn't play for 12 hours a day.
