Seems like they're preparing a new part of Time Temple.

I will hate nexon when you are correct, all evidence points that you will. But speaking of, I think we are already on a race. We are supposed to finish the Temple of Time quests assap to go catch the intruder. But I belive that when you get to the end there is no clue about the guy that broke into it. It's clear there are many Black Wings villains we haven't seen, and I think I will need a monster book for all of them.

To the Aran and Evan storylines, I think it's time to make them go all the way to the 4th job advancement. Evans quests were left into a to be continued style, which almost drives me mad. And finally, those the comics released during Big Bang were cannon? Maybe they have some kind of info? I'm interested in knowing why the Black Mage appeared for like 5 minutes, made a Big Bang, and then went to sleep again.

Simple:To show how strong he is. However the power surge he caused made him lose any power he had up to that point, so now he has to rest. I also don't think it would be out of the question to say Maximus, Grant, and Spiegelman all had their own roles to make us stronger. Grant to help us get stronger equipment, Maximus to get us stronger by fighting each other and learn how the Black Mage would attack, and Spiegelman to give us the higher challenge of stronger monsters so we're prepared for what comes.
