For right now, remember that the MapleStory you know now will be gone forever once Big Bang launches. I encourage all of you to enjoy these last couple months of classic MapleStory! All the changes coming in Big Bang will make the game even better, anyone playing MapleStory now will be able to see and experience things that later Maplers never will! Enjoy the Halloween and Thanksgiving events, take lots of screenshots and video, go to your favorite secluded hunting spot, run classic PQs, and make the most of what MapleStory is right now! When the Big Bang comes, you�re the ones who will have gotten it there!

I agree of the Dev's quote. Nothing else, can't be better to be put that way(unless you like damage only, it's gonna be bad for you).

Let's please not make this into an "LOL THIS ISNT OLD MAPLESTRY THIS SUCKS WITH HACKERS AND STUFF LOL STUPD NXON" thread. I agree, we should definitely be admiring what's here now, such as the final halloween and thanksgiving events for traditional MS. Personally, ima be taking many screenshots to look at months from now.

warning huge wall of text below~ GMs Don't suspend me for this wall of text. Hello again Maplers! Eurydice here. This week we�re going to talk about the Big Bang. More specifically, we�re going to talk about what it�s going to take to bring this massive update to your MapleStory and when it�s going to get here. We�ll have time to talk in the future about exactly what will be in the Big Bang and how it will be different for Global MapleStory. Today I want to talk about why the Big Bang happened and what it�s taken to bring it about. The Big Bang is� Big! The Big Bang is the largest single update to ever come to MapleStory. Once Big Bang is here, you will notice many changes to the gameplay, graphics, and UI. What you may not notice are all the changes we are making to the underlying systems. Its these changes that make Big Bang so huge. It�s not just adding on to existing systems, Big Bang redesigns much of the underlying gameplay of the original MapleStory. In essence, it�s a re-launch of the entire game! In the past, when we wanted to make changes to the game, we had to work within the system as it was originally designed. If we wanted to allow users to choose one of two factions through a quest, it would be very difficult because our quest system was not originally designed to branch in that way. If we added something completely new to the game, there were often unexpected interactions with other systems. Just recently we had huge problems with the alien mobs in The Visitors event because the alien mobs caused a lot of trouble with our regular mob spawns. After seven years of growth and development and constant tweaks, fixes and additions, the game has become pretty complicated. Its success means that it�s grown in ways that the original development team never foresaw and didn�t build the infrastructure to support. The Big Bang is a great opportunity to revisit the basic underpinnings of the game and reorganize the inner workings of the game to make it more flexible and modern. From a developer point of view, that�s what makes Big Bang so exciting. It will make the game run smoother and make it easier to update. It is, of course a huge amount of work and will take us the longest time to finish. In fact, we had to do a fair amount of work on this before we were even able to determine just how long the Big Bang development would take! In the end though, this is by far the most important part of Big Bang for the future development of the game. It will save us a lot of time down the rode because by making the game code more modular, we make it easier to add in new content and make changes on the fly. Of course this is also the part of Big Bang most likely to cause problems. That�s why we�re taking our time and doing a lot more testing on it than we ever have before to make sure the game works as intended when the Big Bang is launched. Look for us to reopen Tespia this Fall and ask you for lots of basic testing to ensure that no existing systems are

[/quote] Can't argue with this... OT: I certainly hope for one thing and only this: The lags and dcs stop. I don't care about hackers, they will always exist, even if they make the game in a way that you are able to grind from 1~200 in a weak, hackers will be there. Serisouly, I just want this lag and dc gone x_x. I didn't even need potential system, lol

No matter what people say, and no matter how much they hate Nexon, Maple Story was and (in my opinion) still is a great game. Yeah there were DCs, lags, etc., but I had some great times. From training at pig beach during my low levels until the iron pig came, Kerning City PQs, struggling to get to 50 at flyeyes with my sin, owning CPQ on my bandit that had so much DEX from his equips that it could still hit the rombots when avoidibility increase was activated, going to windraiders at 65, etc. I'll miss the old maple for sure, and I still miss the real old maple (from like 2-3 years ago) even more, but I also can't wait for the Big Bang.

I loved the blue rock cursor. Now we have a clean WG as the cursor. I remember when pig beach was like today's gallos. I remember when you had to (rick)roll for your stats. I miss those times :'(
