What NEXON has done with the Temple of Time(and if they finish off Elin and make a past world) is make MapleStory have a sequel and a prequel inside it's OWN game. Think about it(just forget about the future dream world thing for a minute). If MS2 was really gonna be a sequel we would just end up with the world destroyed like the Temple shows us. HOWEVER we already have that. So making a sequel off of that is rather pointless because we already have it and can be expanded upon very easily. Secondly in regards to the past. If that file someone had of what looked like past Leafre shows up, then you have your prequel. The world of the Black Mage. NEXON could even take it back further in time from there. When Elin finally gets touched on and completed, you have your past world right there.
tl;dr:
1)NEXON made MS one of the most complete MMOs adding in both the past and future in its gameplay, not just hearing stories of it.
2)Ms2 would only work if it's in a different dimension and world
Or, of course, they could go with my original theory in that the last thing you do in MS1 is defeat the Black Mage. (except for non storyline based updates and ads/teasers for MS2)
Then, your goal in MS2 is to save the world from the remnants of the Black Mage. However, you start getting hints of a higher power, like the floating Black Rocks of Sleepywood, and the inner sanctuary as soon as the release of the game.
You then progress into a totally new storyline regarding the Goddess' mirror, and inter-dimensional travel, leading to a whole new storyline filled with power much greater than Ol' Blacky, entirely new class options, TONS of new map content as well as redesigns of old map content to go with the whole future/past concept that also goes with the mirror. Perhaps nine years after MS2 is released, there will be a thread like this, except about the mysteries of the Maple Universe!
Could be about an even bigger baddie, or maybe when we'll finally meet the Gods/Goddesses that have controlled everything so far...
EDIT: at the Neo City thing, 90% sure it's non canon.
