The amount of quests that's done these days (no-bosspreqeust)
10 years ago: thousands and thousands
nowadays: does maple still have quests o.O?

I play maple for 12 years. And don't get me wrong... i still play maple. However, maple is a bag full of emptyness. They are not unique and they are not steve jobs. They are not capeable of creating something new... no they are good in adding more so it looks new. Well let me tell you this. In all my years of playing maple i feel so dissapointed in what you deliver as gamecreators. there is 1 word for maplestory in 2017. inflation. the value of the game didnt raise anything. However money, dmg, items, nx rates, prices and so much more did raise. Did we get new features no we didn't. It's like pokemon on the gameboy. Doesn't matter if you have pokemon blue, or crystal or diamond or pearl or black or x or y or whatever... the story will always be the same.
1. You take your pokemon
2. You go train
3. You do your gym fights
4. You defeat the gym master
5. You walk around a little bit looking for rare pokemon
6. done

1. You pick your character
2. You lvl it
3. Things get more expensive in the meantime
4. You still lvl and spent more money
5. You still notice nothing new came in the game and its still like pokemon
6. You go higher and higher... years passed by nothing changed...
7. Mapletells you a huge update is coming, but yet nothing changed.
8. You lvl more and spent more so you get stronger
9. And then i went to bed...

Best regards,
