Although I to wanted to keep the old names, and I wish they wouldn't be so aggressive with the world merge. Limiting the game down to Reboot and only 4 worlds seems too extreme.
I was happy to find out there are others who have played Maplestory a long time. Although this is probably the worst time in Maplestory history; a time when some of the oldest memories will probably be lost.
I have loved Maplestory from the first day I played it and miss it when I don't play it for a long time.[/quote]
I agree with the shock of going from 17 worlds to 4 but I will say again that I am excited about this merger. I am just sad that everyone else seems to think this is going to ruin the game. I also miss playing the game right now and have for the past few months because none of the events have captured my attention. With a new character coming out I will be getting back into it and I look forward to playing with all the other people who decide to stick around. I have been playing since 2006 and have seen this game change a lot over the years and I believe for the better. I would not want to go back to the way the game use to be because I felt like you had to do so much more work for much less of a reward. I still have yet to get a character to Lev200 because of people pushing me aside when I enter a screen with them. I am a player who loves to party with others and help each other to complete goals and just level grind in general. I only wish more people wanted this too.
I am not sure I am understanding all the "I want to transfer to a new populated server" talk. When this merger happens it is going to go from 17 servers +Reboot to 4 servers +Reboot. So wont the remaining 4 become "more popular" just because there are less options? I honestly don't see the problem. I also don't understand why people are so against adding characters to certain worlds and not to others. I have at least 3 characters in all the worlds but Reboot and I don't favor any of them over another. So I am in the dark about all this.
