MapleStory's Future

And I didn't say that there was one right now (and since SP deletes unactive threads I doubt I can find any old one) but that every once in a while people post something saying that maple has it days counted, and I mentioned it since you can be sure that maple isn't going to end anytime soon, there are some games out there that have like double or more the years maple has (for example Ultima online).

I don't get the bolded statement. I'm sure it isn't going to end anytime soon, I stated in the thread already. Was I not clear? Long term future= soon? o.o
And, yes I have to admit there are posts similar to this one but most of the time is just ranting/raging/QQing when the game is down to fix glitchs/exploits/whatever else or when there are extensions to server checks. I was expecting something completly different other than those nexon bashing posts from this thread. I also nevere stated the game has it days counted and you can see posts that are completly different form "ms has it days counted", like these:

In my view, Ms is the game that gives nexon the most money since it isnt IP banned like the other games, and if things would have been approaching a Game breaking point they would resolve it almost instantly (See Meso Exploits, Enhacement Hacks, Etc). GMS Future does indeed look rather gloomy but i give like 7-10 years before they move on to MS 2.0 or other games, and thats saying much since a good game could last like 5-7 years tbh, because games always reach the point where they cant be improved anymore thx to base code limitations and what not, and the easiest solution for this is always to start with a new game (This is in my view but im no frigging expert).

How many of you know players who have played the last 3 years? Let alone 5, I'm sure that list isn't that big anymore. See the entire genius that players don't see about nexon is the game refreshes every year. I'm serious, look at the original exploit with white scrolls. Back then, having a 150 attack spear was gamebreaking, never going to surpass that in x amount of years. Yet now it's an average (Between 130-150), the game get's bulkier, and eventually scar tissue gets over the cuts and bruises of past hacks.

Nexon doesn't have to put to much thought into it nowadays because they know the community isn't constant and not a lot of players stick around for more than 3 years at a time, because they tire of the hacks. But they'll be back in another year or so when the game hits another layer of power. The players that were once naive noob's, not understanding the fuss as it's "Their story" therefore won't effect them, then begin to understand the impacts as they have reached the levels their former "idols" left at. One of these years they're gonna have to stop relying on this recycling process, otherwise in 5 years this game will not be closed, but never be the same.

Sad, but that's what I think might happen too. I hope not, though.

I wish MapleStory kept existing for at least 5 or 6 more years, but.. who knows what will happen?

Lately, I've just noticed Nexon America has been putting less and less efforts in making this game a better place for everyone, and I really hope it isn't the beginning of the end of MapleStory.

Cannon Shooters are just the proof that they're running out of ideas, to me. It's been a while since I've seen some exciting and original content, and really, making another class which is like a branch of Adventurers can't be considered so, imo.
