in my opinion, the new nexon cash shop item, maple life (which in case you didnt know is a cash shop item that not only creates a new char, but upgrades him to level 30 out of the box) is a sign of maple starting to go downhill. it actually started when certain things that shouldve already included such as extra char slots, extra item slots, etc. started to appear, but now nexon is pimping out the system to exploit the lazier people for money. very soon youll see giant in game ads, besides the npcs advertising target, rite aid, and 7-11. thats all in my on opinion. believe what you want =P

....Did you even bother to read the other posts concerning that this doesn't really affect you much? Someone post the link to the topic please.

They've also added an auto-mated box saying who's won what out of Gachapons to make you jelous in order to make you buy NX. They're Marketing Techniques

I don't really seem to care about this unbiased nx thing. I've sorta got over maple, in fact I don't train properly anymore. Maple is and will be more of a muck-a-bout sorta thing. Training and hardcore merching r out of my life forever... so Nexon can screw their NX up however they want =/ But yeah I feel sorry for u non-NX users, Maple is and has been going downhill for quite a while

1. yeah im sure there are other posts like this, and no i dont care. =P 2. exirenz is a good example of what happens when these "marketing techniques" affect real people, and make them disintrested in maple. its a damn shame.

why does it matter not like u are buying it jeez. are u jealous of ppl buying lvl 30's, cause they arnt hard to make. if stupid ppl buy it then its nexons win. thats how they make money.

Think of it this way, KMS has all of this stuff, but no one says KMS has gone downhill.

TJMax12345 06/25/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

well actually people have been saying that gms has been going downhill for quite some time. i just personally believe that the new maple life thing cynches it. and yes, level 30s are hard to make. if you didnt want to grind, then dont play mmos. but i strongly believe they shouldnt have that option, because it sets new standards for their buisness. if they allow that, then who knows how far they might go? for 50$ next year, you could buy a 3rd job advancement. its all about what standard they set, and how far WE the players, are willing to allow them to go.

U CANT HAVE A MAPLE LIFE UNTIL U HAVE A lvl 30 char already done. gawd u ppl are annoying .

TJMax12345 06/25/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

thats completely beside the point im making. this is just the start. nexon can/will keep pushing the limit until the truly dedicated players quit. and thats the tipping point. from there the whole thing falls apart. again, this is all my own opinon, and you can have whatever one you want, im just giving counter-arguements =P

they try to show that they care about their players but after all, its a business thing, they need to make money and thats their first priority simple as that who cares about those maple life things anyway... waste of money it only takes me 1 day, 2 days at the most, to get to lvl 30. it just ruins the whole point of the game... if people decide to use them, who cares...

first, u msut get to lvl 30 with one character , second it must be in same world, if all ur slot are filled, they make u buy a add more slot thing to buy that... .
