In reference to the Christmas poem: Versal was only mentioned because it's been a part of Maple Christmas for three years now. It's tradition. A lot of people seemed to read far too much into the mentions of Versal when it clearly was just a reference to Christmas past and not to future content.
As far as next patch goes, we'll assuredly be getting Nihal PQ and Kerning Square, as well as probably that moon bunny event and valentines quests, since the patch is on January 19th. We're not going to get everything that was mentioned in the poem this month; that's obvious. We don't need that much in a single patch, anyway. Most people will still be working on their aran's during the next patch which should keep everyone busy, and Nexon knows it.
I am 100% positive we'll be getting the dreaded Neo City rather than Neo Tokyo and Kaede for the simple fact that Nexon America rarely strays from the content Nexon Korea creates. We managed to keep World Tour because it wasn't necessary for us to remove it, and we get areas like Malaysia and Singapore because they don't conflict with any of the content KMS creates. But Neo City, unfortunately, is important to KMS and therefore important to GMS. iirc Neo City has something to do with the black magician story, although very broken and making very little sense, and for that reason it will be an "important" part of our game. I was really hoping for Kaede and Tokyo too but I don't have enough faith in Nexon to do what's best for the player.
