Okay so i'm not sure if this is in the right section but I have (what I believe to be) a great idea!

You know how on Google Chrome when there isn't a solid internet connection you are left with the little dinosaur jumping game?
What if when the game went down Nexon had some sort of backup game that would still launch while the main servers were down..?
I know a easy work around to this would be to just play another game... but I just thought it would be kinda cool.

What kind of game would you be most interested in playing if this were to somehow happen!? I personally think a jump quest styled mini-game would be easy enough to code!

    Could reuse one of those single-player Star Planet minigames.

    (Or MMF, but that'd be like rubbing salt in the wound to most people lol)

    Letting us do the jump quest in sleepywood with a generic toon offline would be a nice frustrating time killer. Or the zakum one. Not sure which one i hated doing more.

    Nexon - or anyone else - can't do any "game on a pause screen", else they will violate protected copyright.

    Well isnt really a pause screen or even a loading screen. Just an offline screen like the one google has. Or has google copyrighted that?

    I would like to have Monster Life whenever the servers go down, Not sure how possible that would be, but the only reason I'd play Monster Life is I want something Maple-related when Maplestory unavailable.

    you lost me at Google Chrome (still shocked people use that i find it to tend to be more buggy then internet explorer and use way more computer memory)
    but a game you can play while games offline... multiple issues with that tech team wise login server wise

    it would have to be something no progress could be gained in...
    personally i tend to play some other game when i am playing maple and it goes down for updates and what

    Well if it's a matter of location, they can build it into the launcher file. You can still open the nexon launcher even when the game is down. As for all the other players who use the site or steam to log in, make it trigger the launcher file instead.

    As for progress, I don't think it should require log ins at all. It is (or is intended to be), afterall, an offline game.

    I like the idea of SW jump quest too. I loved that JQ despite never finishing it. Didn't stop me from trying when I'm just trying to relax. :D

    You can't copyright an idea.
