I am wondering if Nexon's new game they are releasing to all of Asia and North America in December 2009 will be able to compete with the over 92 million users of MapleStory. What do you think? I think it will give Maplestory a run for its money but could never take away from the King Kong of MMORPG's. link

Seems like Dragonica, but not really unless DragonNest has everything ms has but just way improved, then yea MapleStory will lose players.

Looks a bit like Mabinogi. This game seems kinda fail >.>. Maple will always be the top nexon game they have, im sure.

I think Maplestory will lose some players maybe a few million but still that would not even make a dent into Maplestory's huge user base. I got hope for Nexon though on creating a game that someday could really compete with Maplestory since there is not a single game in the world right now with such a large user based and in so many countries like Nexon has published maplestory in.

I have a Korean Nexon ID.. So I could register and download it. But it doesn't look very appealing.

The game looks... all right. Nothing too interesting though. After a while, it seems that the game will get very dull... just bashing around like that. Bashing around is amazing at first, but gets too repetitive (Hm... sounds familiar... lol) Check out "Blade and Soul" by NCsoft.

I think this might be the game to do that since Nexon publishes all its games using the same successful businesses model that they used for Maplestory that they created and were the first ones to offer a free game for life with a cash shop. It of course will never reach the 75 million user mark and growing but could maybe reach 20-30 million users and be the second biggest game in the world and grow from there.

Now that I look at it, the grunts and sounds sound familiar. Kinda like Zelda.
