Quote:Q & A
Question: What has been done with compatible issues with modem os

Question: Chaos horned tail battle till tail and disconnected and defected without drops

Answer: We will have to reveal that when we get back to Korea
Question: What aspires you to create maplestory?
Answer: Maplestory started out as character customizing. We didn't expect the Maplestory today. In 2003 in Korea, there's a game similar to Maplestory but it's in 3D. So we decide to make a 2D version of it.
Question: Normal Horntail has been a very simple boss. It's easy to defect horntail now, but we do not need to wait 1 hour anymore and the hackers seems to stop hacking horntail.
Answer: We can better system and we will look back at the hacker prevention system when we get back.

Will be posting more.
SEAmapler Wrote:Qn: Will skillbooks be sold in the CS?
A: Nothing is fixed at this moment.
Qn: Why is that Genesis has a cooldown timer?
A: Part of the balancing purposes that we have.
Qn: The HP formula has been changed will HP of existing characters be modified?
A: HP you currently have on your character will not be changed but the formula for the future characters will be.
Qn: Will the new classes be modified?
A: We are currently reviewing and may do so to balance the game.
Qn: Can you explain about PvP system?
A: PvP is a team match survival game and the imbalance in maplestory must be solved first before it is implemented.
Qn: What about jewelry, alchemy and crafting? Can you explain?
A: Its not been open and we can't comment. Sorry to disappoint you.
Qn: Will a separate mini-dungeon for popular maps eg. Truckers be implemented together
with BBP?
A: We don't have plans and have to review the situation in MSEA before they implement it.
Qn: Once PvP is realized, will we see leagues and tournaments? Is it possible?
A: I think it's a fun idea and we're open to the possibility of that.
Qn: Will the level cap of 200 be raised? And will there be more bosses?
A: We've always been reconsidering the level cap and it will be easier to level up after BBP and we will consider raising it. Updates will be more focused on our loyal players who are higher level and will include more bosses and maps.
Qn: If the level cap is increased, will there be a fifth job?
A: Yes, but there are no plans for the fifth job at this point in time.
Qn: Is there a possibility that maplestory will be a 3D game?
A: All we can say is the current maplestory will not change into 3D but there may a separate 3D maplestory.
Qn: Will skills become more similar because of the rebalancing?
A: The purpose of the rebalancing is to make the game more fair so we're trying not to lessen the features of the different classes.
Qn: Is there a reason why this year's content in MSEA is slower than GMS?
A: GMS players are less content about newer content and we have to rush them out whereas MSEA players are more content about newer stuffs.
Qn: Will the skillbooks distribution be rebalanced to make it more fair? Given that BBP is all about rebalancing.
A: I think this is a good comment and we will think about it.
Qn: Is there a possibility for MSEA to have a test server like GMS and KMS?
A: At the moment, no as we don't see the need. It is also difficult as the server may be unstable.
Qn: Aran start at level 200 and we can preview the skills. Can this be done for newer jobs?
A: It wasn't as impactful as we thought it would and currently we have no plans to do so for other jobs. We will review this.
Qn: Can you give an estimate time for the release of BBP in MSEA?
A: Internally, we have an idea but nobody wants to make that promise but it should be in the middle or first half of the year. On a sidenote: BBP is a very big update and the programmers have to work for a couple months longer and we're hesitant to make this available. The release of BBP in GMS and JMS had a very hard time. Hope you understand.
Qn: Couldnt MSEA just import data from GMS?
A: I wish we could but it's really more complicated than that.
Qn: Will there be more content for level 200 characters?
A: Currently we do not have content specifically for level 200s but we are having more and more content planned for 1xx characters.
Qn: Can a pet cash item be made to help the owner auto cast a skill/rebuff?
A: We'll review this possibility.
Qn: Could you implement a special time in the later part of the day whereby working adults who can't play during the day can benefit from an increase in experience points gained from monsters? Ie. 1.5x exp.
A: The BBP makes the exp curve change to the point that the demand for 2x exp coupon is very low and we are worried that the implementation of 2x exp coupons, together with the new exp curve may hurt MSEA in the long run.
Qn: Can you add a disconnection timer to the bosses such that we can rejoin the boss fight if we DC?
A: It'll be difficult to do so for all the disconnection cases as there are different reasons for disconnection but we will look at the logs and try to make your suggestion come true.
Qn: Will there be a special exp event that maplers can enjoy after BBP?
A: We will definitely have a big and fun event.
Qn: Will there be a change to the KoC in the future?
A: Yes, there will be definitely changes to Cygnus.
Qn: Will there be any bosses related to black Mage?
A: No one has seen the black Mage - not even us - but we've seen a lot of his subordinates.
EDIT: thats all folks, the session over

Question: Why is there such a great price difference for cash items between those in KMS and MSEA? (KMS’s items are cheaper than MSEA’s.)
Answer: This is due to the different spending power for players in these 2 services. However, there are more cash shop benefits in MSEA than KMS to offset this imbalance.
Question:Why were the recently launched permanent items such a limited range?
Answer: We had taken into consideration that MSEA players spent less on equips than on other cash items, (the demand wasn’t as great), thus there were less items. Actually, there were about 250 items. But the response was great, we could release them soon again.
Question: Will there be a patch to offset the imbalance in price for normal items and potential items?
Answer: We will review this.
Question:How does the team obtain/ know more about MSEA?
Answer: We try to have as much interaction with the MSEA players. We look at the Facebook comments, the forums. (Ms Christina Lee said she once commented on Facebook, but there wasn’t any reply for that, yikes.) Also, there are stronger responses coming from MSEA than other areas.
Question:There is this population issue (lower population) for some of the worlds in MSEA. How does the team intend to resolve this?
Answer: We try to balance this through rewards in game. Else, we could see merging as a solution.
Question:There is a cap to the maximum amount of mesos that a player can have. Could we raise this?
Answer: This will be reviewed.
Other future expansions shared by Ms Christina Lee
