Have you seen the absolute spike of games switching to the F2P model over the past year? Before, Maplestory (and most Nexon games) were one of the few, especially in 2009. Now you can play what was once premium games at no charge. DCUO, Evercrack 2, D&D Online... The age of the P2P MMO is behind us. It would seem that WoW stands alone as the last bastion of P2P profitability.
The other issue is that there are TOO MANY DAMN REVAMPS. Every three months there's a new revamp of a revamp or new classes. THIS IS NOT CONTENT. This is constant rehashing of old content so much I don't even know what the current fighter skills are anymore. In my opinion, the last true content for Maplestory was ToT/Pink Bean and Big Bang (of course I'm talking about KMS - not GMS). And even the classes and stuff that they revamp are NEVER balanced. EVER. They always screw it up and create bandwagon classes which the community does not like because it leads to massive price speculation, overpopulated classes, and imbalanced parties. I don't think they play with the numbers enough.
Hey guys. I bet I know what's coming in the next patch. IT'S A NEW CLASS AND A REVAMP. HOLY S'HIT, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.
